pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Impact. Vortex(20) Kinetic Sidearm Primary Ammo. "I love that warlocks get a spin-to-win sword. I would love to see class agnostic heavy and lightweight frame swords, but I digress. For Death's Razor you'll want similar rolls to your old Falling Guillotines. The difference would be Valiant Charge for a bit more zoom. Duelist's Trance for better charge rate. Or Destabilizing Rounds for better add clear while maintaining some good damage. Lots to do with more utility over Guillotine which was only damage."

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Impact. Vortex(TBA) Kinetic Sidearm Primary Ammo. "In PvP you're either using a sword for Eager Edge, or because you really like legendary swords. Valiant Charge is fun and can throw your enemies off. Spin-to-win swords aren't really meta in the crucible but it can also destroy bubble titans and well warlocks."
