The Solar subclasses in Destiny 2 are all about healing and laying down a path of scorched earth. Ever since the 3.0 rework, Solar has been in a really good place and this trend continues in the Lightfall expansion. Here's a build that will make the Darkness flee in terror.
Destiny 2 Lightfall - Solar Titan Build
Much like our Void Titan build, the Solar build is all about buffing abilities and weapon damage. It's a build that favors using a Solar weapon and for our purposes, Ticuu's Divination fits the bill perfectly. Thanks to the Aspects and Fragments working in conjunction with Precious Scars, healing shouldn't be an issue.

This is a given, but you'll want to get your standard 100 Resilience before focusing into any other stat. Resilience is a great secondary pick considering the healing nature of Solar.
