Agape god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 150 from 19 August 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/09YmSx1l928T7hFnj7Kvxi?si=eb827f2ac1974a14) with @CourtProjects, @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing minor add groups both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly for Lucky Pants Hunters. Agape, as a heavy burst frame, provides the best damage output against minors and offers as its intrinsic perk a little additional flinch resistance when ADSed. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are middling, with a boost at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that Range of 64 translates to 21.76m hipfire and 34.82m ADS before damage drop-off, 28 Stability is ×1.0150 flinch resistance, 29 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.28s ADS and 0.43s stow speed, 21 Reload Speed is a 3.13s reload and Magazine Size is 14 (max 28). For barrel and magazine perk choices, Agape desperately needs Handling and Reload Speed as a priority. For Lucky Pants Hunters, in the first trait perk column Rewind Rounds lets you keep on shooting while building Illegally Modded Holster stacks for up to ×4.5 damage at 10 stacks, refilling 60% (70% when enhanced) of hits back into the magazine when empty. In the second column, for another damage multiplier, Vorpal Weapon plus 10 stacks of IMH boosts damage by ×5.4 against orange and yellow bars or Precision Instrument for up to ×6.15 crit damage at 6 stacks if you can keep hitting crits. The Exhaustive Research Origin Trait is very good for PvE - ADS for 1s at an enemy up to 60m away, and the next shot will fire a mini-rocket - these are affected by and can proc rocket-based perks and traits too - with a 5s cooldown. If you're interested, Agape (pronounced Ah-gar-pay) is a Greek word for the highest form of love, characterised by selflessness and unconditional care for others. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Agape, as a heavy burst frame, provides the best damage output against minors and offers as its intrinsic perk a little additional flinch resistance when ADSed. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are middling, with a boost at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that Range of 64 translates to 21.76m hipfire and 34.82m ADS before damage drop-off, 28 Stability is ×1.0150 flinch resistance, 29 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.28s ADS and 0.43s stow speed, 21 Reload Speed is a 3.13s reload and Magazine Size is 14 (max 28). For barrel and magazine perk choices, Agape desperately needs Handling and Reload Speed as a priority. In the first trait perk column Rewind Rounds partially mitigates the problems with reload speed refilling 60% (70% when enhanced) of hits back into the magazine when empty. In the second column, for solar builds, Burning Ambition is here for end-game content for use against beefier single targets, although you will probably need a scorch source from an ability to start things off, or Incandescent is great for clearing add groups, spreading +30 scorch stacks or +40 with Ember of Ashes (+35/+45 with Ember of Ashes, when enhanced) in a 4m radius on a kill. The Exhaustive Research Origin Trait is very good for PvE - ADS for 1s at an enemy up to 60m away, and the next shot will fire a mini-rocket - these are affected by and can proc rocket-based perks and traits too - with a 5s cooldown. If you're interested, Agape (pronounced Ah-gar-pay) is a Greek word for the highest form of love, characterised by selflessness and unconditional care for others.

For barrel and magazine perk choices, Agape desperately needs Handling and Reload Speed as a priority. If you want to use Heal Clip in the first trait perk column, for the ×2 Cure (140 HP) and ×1 Cure on allies within 15m when you finish a reload within 5.3s after a kill, you really do need to sort the reload out or the window is really short, and if you're in trouble you'll likely be dead before the animation's complete. Pairing Firefly in the second column is great in this respect - as well as the solar explosion in a 4m radius on a crit kill, you also get +50 Reload Speed (+55 when enhanced). The Exhaustive Research Origin Trait is very good for PvE - ADS for 1s at an enemy up to 60m away, and the next shot will fire a mini-rocket - these are affected by and can proc rocket-based perks and traits too - with a 5s cooldown.

Agape, as a heavy burst frame, provides the best damage output against minors and offers as its intrinsic perk a little additional flinch resistance when ADSed.

For barrel and magazine perk choices, Agape desperately needs Handling and Reload Speed as a priority. For melee builds, particularly running a solar subclass, the combination of Pugilist in the first trait perk column generates melee energy on kills, while Incandescent is great for clearing add groups, spreading +30 scorch stacks or +40 with Ember of Ashes (+35/+45 with Ember of Ashes, when enhanced) in a 4m radius on a kill, with scorch/ignition kills counting as weapon kills for Pugilist. The Exhaustive Research Origin Trait is very good for PvE - ADS for 1s at an enemy up to 60m away, and the next shot will fire a mini-rocket - these are affected by and can proc rocket-based perks and traits too - with a 5s cooldown.
