Middle tree Sunbreaker, Roaring Flames x3 (either normally, or via the Telesto/grenade shortcut), standing in a Well of Radiance... solar weapon damage is buffed 175%.
Boss-melting fun!
Might help the DBO clan finally finish GoS!

I’m down for running this. I’d get to try out my Spiked up Outrageous Fortune.
Hey Now!
We beat it!
(Just not all in one sitting quite yet)
Two Days. Too Late.
Due to an issue with the Wormgod Caress exotic gauntlets where the “Burning Fists” perk retains increased melee damage after it’s intended timer countdown, it has been disabled until a fix can be deployed at a later date.

Oh, and the Wishender Bow is going to be Patched Soon.

Different bug.

That was posted before the one I listed was even found.
No Wormgod Caress needed for the one I'm talking about.

Tried it last night while cheesing Riven.
Didn’t seem to work for me, although I got a 2x stack initially with Telesto, I wasn’t even halfway to doing the most damage to Riven. Maybe it just doesn’t work with Swords.
Test it in the Tribute Hall?

Welp. Well that's what I get for shooting at the hip.
Clicked the vid, clicked ahead, saw flaming hammers, went "oh this one"... NOPE.
I do apologize for the error.

So, I think the only part of this that is actually broken is that the buff is applying to solar weapons and not just solar abilities. The video argues that the game registers the Well of Radiance as being your own Solar ability, but that isn't necessary for this to work.
This is simply a multiplicative buff. Your buff * the WoR buff = 275% (or 175% increase in) damage. Perhaps Bungie meant for it to be additive? In which case it would be 145% (or a 45%) increase in damage.
IMO this is just clever ability synergy. Only reason to nerf it (beyond fixing the solar weapon part of the issue) is "balance."

They have specifically stated that the design going forward is intended to be one-buff-one-debuff with exceptions to benefits from exotics/weapon perks. However, this appears to function outside of that structure due to applying things incorrectly. Roaring Flame isn’t supposed to work on weapons, so the exceptions are breaking the heirarchy of buffs.

Right, that part is clear. What I'm less clear on is whether Roaring Flame is allowed to be buffed by Well of Radiance as it pertains to the Titan's solar abilities.

Well of Radiance and Empowering Rift are not supposed to apply to abilities, just weapon damage as they are presented, but apparently it may apply to ability damage with the Well. I’ve not seen it tested.

Aha! I see. So his explanation does make sense then. Roaring Flame interprets Well of Radiance to be a solar ability that can be buffed, and then Well of Radiance in turn buffs the weapon damage an increased amount. As per the description text, at least, that is the no-no.
I loved this analysis
