Inspired by @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for burst damage against Banes, Elites, Champions and Minibosses in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Folded Root, as an Aggressive Frame, provides ×1.1 base damage. The stats are decent, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/3184457500 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Look to boost Handling or Velocity with the barrel perk and then for the magazine perk, Impact Casing boosts impact damage by ×1.1 - that's ×1.02 overall, or Alloy Casing speed up reloads. In the first trait perk column, there aren't any reload options to help with sustained damage, but Cluster Bombs is here to release 8 bomblets on detonation for additional damage - you'll want to reduce Blast Radius so that they drop as close to the target as much as possible. To aid with this, Bipod trades having two rockets in the chamber for burst damage for -20 to Blast Radius and Reload Speed (-15 to Reload Speed when enhanced) and a reduction by ×0.75 to overall damage. Alternatively, Frenzy boosts Handling and Reload Speed by +100 and boosts overall damage by ×1.15 after being in combat for 12s - that's dealing or taking damage - for a refreshable 7.2s. The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die. Recommended MW: Handling or Velocity, 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-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller
