Instead, you need to rely on teammates to shoot your shield for you.
When detained, you’re unable to shoot to break your own shield. One more thing you have to remember is that the Templar will detain three random people in a bubble. You might even get close to a one-phase if everyone’s on point. Note 2: You should be able to deplete at least 40 to 50% of the Templar’s health pool in a single DPS phase. Your only recourse is to run to the central plate to get cleansed since the relic’s ability no longer removes the mark. Remember that they’ll still create Vex milk pools that’ll debuff you with the Mark of Negation. Also, this position will let you stay away from exploding fanatics. Note: Your first DPS phase position should be on the ledges fairly close to the boss (the Banner Shield and Well of Radiance should keep you alive). You could also brute force the encounter (i.e., ignore the next set of Oracles).
If you have an Oracle Killer that’s hiding in a cheese spot, they should use the Xenophage to one-shot the Oracles. #RAID REPORT DESTINY 2 MOD#
Anarchy exotic grenade launcher – Ideally, at least one player in the fireteam should have the Breach & Clear artifact mod to debuff the boss. Double slug shotguns or sniper rifles with the Vorpal Weapon perk and Boss Spec mod. Hunters – Golden Gun with Celestial Nighthawk. Warlocks – Well of Radiance with Lunafaction Boots. Titans – Banner Shield with Ursa Furiosa. Then, once everyone is in position, the relic holder will use the super to fire a blast that would break the Templar’s shield. Oh, and while the Oracles are being killed, the relic holder should be meleeing a few mobs to fully charge their super meter. The first cast wouldn’t matter since no one should be debuffed if you killed the Oracles in the correct order. The Templar should then begin its Ritual of Negation cast. Start by destroying the three Oracles in order. How the fight progresses and suggested loadouts Note: Use the same cheese spots and numbering for Oracles from the previous encounter (i.e., #1 starting from the back right going clockwise) to have clearer callouts and line-of-sight. Everyone else – The rest of the raid group should just help clear adds and any Oracles that the assigned player cannot see. You can see one particular cheesing spot from the ceiling in the next image. However, designated players can just hide inside the cubbyholes and use the Xenophage to take out the most visible ones. Oracle Killer (optional) – Technically, everyone can kill the Oracles that spawn. After picking up the relic, the player will notice various new actions such as a melee swipe (left click), ground slam (right click while in mid-air), a shield/cleanse (hold the melee button), and a super bar. Relic Holder – The relic holder is the most important role in the Vault of Glass’ Templar boss fight.
The objective here is to destroy three Oracles that spawn in order, have the relic holder break the Templar’s shield, get everyone to deal damage to the boss, and then prepare for any possible teleports and mobs. Once someone picks up the relic in the area, the Templar boss fight will begin.
