Circular Logic god roll & best perks

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for individual Minor adds or tougher enemies in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty, particularly on Strand builds. Circular Logic is an adaptive LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "technically a strict downgrade to aggressive damage profile, but barrier intrinsic is noticeable". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Barrier, but no other benefits as per the Destiny Data Compendium. The recoil direction is right but pretty tight so you could improve Recoil Direction or look to boost Stability to help hit crits, or Handling if you can land your shots. In the magazine perk slot, any of the combat effects mags or perks that improve Reload Speed or mag size are the best available. To clear adds, perhaps supporting a double special loadout, in the first trait perk column there are plenty of options to help with slow reloads - Fourth Time's the Charm generates 2 shots from thin air after 4 crits within 3s of each other, almost doubling your total ammo if you can keep hitting crits, Demolitionist generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use, or Firefly procs a 4m AoE Solar explosion on a crit kill plus +50 Reload Speed for 6s - this counts as weapon damage so can proc weapon traits like Demolitionist, as well as Firefly procs a 4m AoE Solar explosion on a crit kill plus +50 Reload Speed for 6s - this counts as weapon damage so can inherit damage boosts, and also proc subclass fragments and weapon traits like Hatchling in the second column which spawns a Strand Threadling on a crit kill or three crit hits within 3s of each other. Aegis ranks the Nanotech Tracer Missile origin trait as A-Tier -generating a tracking elemental micro missile for landing ~23 hits on a target within 6s of each other - with a 2s cooldown. If you're interested, "circular logic" is a psychological term for an argument that goes nowhere, looping back on its own unproven premises - which fits the messy, tangled web of thoughts and reflects the philosophy of Strand. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.|tags:PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
