Need best Sunbracers Warlock guide

[hot yoke]

Hi, I want to start playing sunbracers warlock and I would highly appreciate a link to a good guide explaining the build, stats to proritize and how to play the Sunbracers warlock in general.

Yeah I know this, but there is also this phoenix dive loop I dont know much about

[quartz mulch]

you phoenix dive if low on health and need to get out

[swift jay]

you have 3 options:
option 1: icarus dash + touch of flame. this option is capped at resto x1 (ember of mercy) but has icarus dash and lava blobs

option 2: heat rises + touch of flame. this option allows for resto x2 using phoenix dive (heat rises + phoenix dive) all while keeping the lava blobs. best offense and defense at the cost of mobility

option 3: icarus dash + heat rises. this option has both the mobility from option 1 and the survivability of option 2, but loses out on offense since you dont have the lava blobs from touch of flame

i personally use option 1 in about 90% of content, only swapping to option 2 when survivability is alot more important (i.e. master raids, gms, solo dungeons, etc.)

i exclusively use option 3 if i need both icarus dash + heat rises for a transition in a raid or dungeon

option 2 and 3 get more melee energy than option 1 due to heat rises, so if you're having trouble getting your melee back, consider swapping to heat rises

stacking momentum transfers should get you your melee back 90% of the time (as long as your grenades are doing damage)

and last but certainly not least: use ember of empyrean
easily the most important and best solar fragment as it extends restoration and radiant timers (essentially infinite restoration/radiant)

Icarus if you prefer the dash, Heat if you like the healing or the air-scoping

[spiral hollow]

Phoenix Dive is a personal medkit that activates faster than healing rift and if you can get solar kills with ember of empyrean and heat rises you get resto x2 for days

All you’re looping is the melee and grenade(s), Phoenix is just there as an “oh crap” button for easy healing

[restive stone]

the gameplay loop to put it easily is melee kill, consume grenade, throw one and phoenix dive, throw before the phoenix to make sure you get that extended restoration

after that keep throwing nades then melee again to activate

if done correctly you have infinite healing

proc sunbracers, use first nade for heat rises then spam the other ones and dive for restoration x2, empyrean optional
