Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 152 from 2 September 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5y3KdXwOHAdEiERuX1NtGR?si=87414268eb9642d6) with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for dealing with groups of Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with a void build. This is the third version of Aisha's Embrace, with the frame intrinsic offering a ×0.8 animation scalar when reloading from an empty mag. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good, which is improved further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and mag perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that 34 Range equates to 35.58m hipfire and 71.16m ADS before damage dropoff, 46 Stability is ×1.0650 flinch resist, 26 Handling is 0.47s ready, 0.37s ADS and 0.45s stow speed, 35 Reload Speed is 2.27s reload (1.82s with the frame intrinsic when empty) and Magazine Size is 17 (max 20). With the fire rate, Controllers might need some help with taming the recoil, but otherwise the two weapon stats that need the most help from the barrel and mag perks are Handling and Reload Speed. To synergise with a Void build, there is the trait perk combination of Demoralize and Destabilizing Rounds to spread an AoE cloud of Weaken to nearby enemies for a ×1.15 boost to damage for your fireteam for 3s (5s when enhanced) on a crit kill. Any kill will also spread Volatility in a 6.5m radius and provide Volatile Rounds for 4.5s (5.25s when enhanced), which together should make clearing even tougher add mobs easier. Alternatively, in the first column, Shoot to Loot will pick up remote ammo bricks or orbs from a safe location, reloading all your weapons from reserves. If you're interested, Aisha was a human Hunter and a close friend of Shayura, who, along with Reed-7, comprised a fireteam that faced a mysterious entity in Old Chicago, according to the Wild Hunt Vest armour description. The Fleet Footed Origin Trait's additional Airborne Effectiveness and Movement Speed are more of a PvP perk. Roar of Battle's +10 Handling and Stability is better, but unspectacular. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, 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

This is the third version of Aisha's Embrace, with the frame intrinsic offering a ×0.8 animation scalar when reloading from an empty mag. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good, which is improved further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and mag perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that 34 Range equates to 35.58m hipfire and 71.16m ADS before damage dropoff, 46 Stability is ×1.0650 flinch resist, 26 Handling is 0.47s ready, 0.37s ADS and 0.45s stow speed, 35 Reload Speed is 2.27s reload (1.82s with the frame intrinsic when empty) and Magazine Size is 17 (max 20). With the fire rate, Controllers might need some help with taming the recoil, but otherwise the two weapon stats that need the most help from the barrel and mag perks are Handling and Reload Speed. As a utility roll, for boss fights, you could try Shoot to Loot, to pick up remote ammo bricks or orbs during sustained boss fights and reloading all your weapons from reserves, together with Withering Gaze. On its own this will Weaken targets for ×1.15 damage for 6s for your fireteam after ADS-ing for 1.4s (1.3s when enhanced), refreshable on subsequent procs, but if the stronger ×1.3 weaken has been applied from Tractor Cannon or Shadowshot, Withering Gaze will reapply at the higher value. If you're interested, Aisha was a human Hunter and a close friend of Shayura, who, along with Reed-7, comprised a fireteam that faced a mysterious entity in Old Chicago, according to the Wild Hunt Vest armour description. The Fleet Footed Origin Trait's additional Airborne Effectiveness and Movement Speed are more of a PvP perk. Roar of Battle's +10 Handling and Stability is better, but unspectacular.

This is the third version of Aisha's Embrace, with the frame intrinsic offering a ×0.8 animation scalar when reloading from an empty mag. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good, which is improved further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and mag perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that 34 Range equates to 35.58m hipfire and 71.16m ADS before damage dropoff, 46 Stability is ×1.0650 flinch resist, 26 Handling is 0.47s ready, 0.37s ADS and 0.45s stow speed, 35 Reload Speed is 2.27s reload (1.82s with the frame intrinsic when empty) and Magazine Size is 17 (max 20). With the fire rate, Controllers might need some help with taming the recoil, but otherwise the two weapon stats that need the most help from the barrel and mag perks are Handling and Reload Speed. To help deal with tougher adds, there is the trait perk combination of Demoralize and Precision Instrument which both proc on crits to spread an AoE cloud of Weaken to nearby enemies for a ×1.15 boost to damage for your fireteam for 3s (5s when enhanced) on a crit kill while repeated crit hits grant a stacking damage bonus of up to ×1.25 damage at 6 stacks for 1.25s or until you miss a crit.

Adamsdown_Boy written as at v9.0.0.8 (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for dealing with beefier Minor adds in general at-level or better content. This is the third version of Aisha's Embrace, with the frame intrinsic offering a ×0.8 animation scalar when reloading from an empty mag. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good, which is improved further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and mag perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that 34 Range equates to 35.58m hipfire and 71.16m ADS before damage dropoff, 46 Stability is ×1.0650 flinch resist, 26 Handling is 0.47s ready, 0.37s ADS and 0.45s stow speed, 35 Reload Speed is 2.27s reload (1.82s with the frame intrinsic when empty) and Magazine Size is 17 (max 20). With the fire rate, Controllers might need some help with taming the recoil, but otherwise the two weapon stats that need the most help from the barrel and mag perks are Handling and Reload Speed. For an all-purpose roll to use against a mix of enemies, there's the double perk combination of Vorpal Weapon and Desperate Measures. DM gives you up to ×1.3 damage for weapon and ability kills for a refreshable 7s (7.5s when enhanced) which is good for red bars, but then if you see an orange or yellow-bar enemy, Vorpal Weapon is a flat, always-on ×1.2 damage boost against them. When both are active, that's a total ×1.56 damage against majors and boss category enemies. If you're interested, Aisha was a human Hunter and a close friend of Shayura, who, along with Reed-7, comprised a fireteam that faced a mysterious entity in Old Chicago, according to the Wild Hunt Vest armour description. The Fleet Footed Origin Trait's additional Airborne Effectiveness and Movement Speed are more of a PvP perk. Roar of Battle's +10 Handling and Stability is better, but unspectacular.
