pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "While I, personally, am glad Forbearance is easier to get, I also understand why there's community hesitation against it. If you already have a Forbearance crafted or Adept, you definitely do not need to grind out the new version other than for progress towards Superblack. If you are like me and don't have Forbearance, you're just gonna grab the already tried and true roll of Ambitious Assassin and Chain Reaction. Unrelenting in column 3 is arguably better than Ambitious Assassin as it only takes 3 kills to activate and should work with Chain Reaction. If you're using the new Forbearance on a grenade heavy build this version could be better with the origin trait giving 5% grenade charge back." Recommended MW: Velocity.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Hitting 3 targets in PvE is certainly easier than hitting multiple targets in PvP. If you can make Stats for All work in PvP I will be impressed. A better perk would be Demolitionist for a total of 15% ability energy back on kills (10% paired with 5% from the origin trait), or Disruption Break to give your kinetic weapons a nice 50% damage boost. There isn't a lot to be said in column 4 for PvP as most Disruption Break grenade launchers are paired with Auto-Loading Holster in the third column. Wellspring could pair well with Demolitionist for even more ability energy, or Desperate Measures for a damage bonus without needing a weapon kill to start." Recommended MW: Velocity.

First-choice PvE pick for add-clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content. If you find a roll you like, keep for the ability to enhance perks when Final Shape arrives. If you already have a shaped Forbearance from Vow of the Disciple, you can move along. If not, it's the current best-in-subfamily for stats. As with most wave-frames, you're looking for a barrel perk that boosts handling and velocity, with High-Velocity Rounds in the magazine. With one eye on the upcoming nerf to Chain Reaction, you might want to pair one of the useful first column support traits - Ambitious Assassine, Unrelenting or Demolitionist - with One for All in the second column for a damage boost to help clear groups of adds. The Indomitability origin trait seems built for the Prismatic subclass, generating grenade or melee energy according to your subclass type.

The most popular roll of a barrel perk that boosts handling and velocity, with High-Velocity Rounds in the magazine paired with Ambitious Assassin and Chain Reaction has been the add-clearing wave-frame of choice for the last few seasons, and should still be good even after the planned CR nerf.

For CQC survivability, For the traits, Demolitionist and Wellspring together with the Indomitability origin trait all work together to generate grenade energy, but particularly with an arc subclass, so you can Jolt targets with a grenade, start collecting Ionic Traces to become amplified and then blind crowds, using a combination of Sparks of Shock, Ions/Discharge and Beacons.
