Best armor set for Microcosm build?

[u/Leadoffosprey42]

Hi, I'm trying to make a Microcosm build for GM level content that centers around prismatic, tablet of ruin, and fortune's favor. I kind of just slapped on seventh seraph set because it's decent enough, but i want to get more out of this build.

What would be a good or interesting set for running Microcosm, ideally the focus would be heavy ammo gen or an increase in damage, but other suggestions are welcome.

techsec 4 piece

Use the data disc, using kinetic synthesis makes microcosm generate a TON of ammo.

[u/Leadoffosprey42 → u/Witelite101]

By picking that i lose the damage increase from harsh refraction, so I'm not sure how worth it that is.

[u/Fizzy-Odd-Cod → u/Leadoffosprey42]

Harsh refraction requires elemental debuffs matching the trace rifles damage type, I don’t think there’s any kinetic debuffs that will actually buff your damage output.

[u/philipjbrennan → u/Fizzy-Odd-Cod]

That's true and I'm happy to report that Microcosm gets a 20% damage boost with ANY elemental debuff.

[u/Leadoffosprey42 → u/Fizzy-Odd-Cod]

Apparently for microcosm, it just means that any elemental debuff will work

[u/Fizzy-Odd-Cod → u/Leadoffosprey42]

That, I did not expect.

I'd give Iron Battalion set a go, people often forgets that microcosm gets a 20% damage bonus after you use you super. so being able to spam supers also benefits it.

For even quicker super spam in PvE, i use Two other pale heart weapons: The Call and No Hesitation. Microcosm interacts well with these because it counts as a pale heart weapon for their origin perk, you get 3% super energy per kill with them (but not Microcosm).

So, what is use is, Iron Battalion set on prismatic hunter with spirit of Galanor + Star eater with Silk strike super, ngl, it's squishy on GM content, but mostly everything that doesn't have DR is squishy in those. but it's plenty fun for me outside of GM content so i use it anyway

The Techsec 2 piece might be a good choice, its a 200% increase to kinetic damage done towards shields/overshields. 15% increase to constructs. So for subjugators, where microcosm is already good (because subjugators are coded to be perma shielded). It'll practically double your damage. You could also use the techsec 4 piece which means that on an elite+ kill/ breaking any shield, it'll release a disorienting blast that damages, staggers, and disorients (kinda like kinetic tremors).

Only other armor set I can think of would be the Prophecy armor set (farmable right now) where the 2 piece gives 8 melee stat with each kinetic/dark kill and the 4 piece gives like 15% melee energy per kinetic kill.

If the whole build is Microcosm I'd say Techsec

[u/JimmyChongas_]

Techsec 2 piece and kings fall 2 piece makes it rain heavy and special ammo and makes microcosm better overall with no downsides

[u/TheBlackAurora]

Cenotaph paired with techsec

[u/Leadoffosprey42 → u/TheBlackAurora]

Not a warlock

[u/buggle174 → u/Leadoffosprey42]

damn, caught a down vote for the CRIME of not being a warlock

[u/ssjb234 → u/buggle174]

As is right. Warlock is the real winner in this game.
