Geodetic HSm god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I think this is going to be the best weapon for low to mid-tier Void builds. Being able to use Destabilizing Rounds (swipes?), and Repulser Brace to debuff your enemies and buff yourself is incredible. You can clear entire rooms with only a few sword swipes and grant yourself an incredible over shield." Recommended MW: Impact.

First-choice PvE pick for add clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content. Geodetic (which means relating to the branch of applied mathematics concerned with the size and shape of the Earth) is a bit of a curious beast - having +2 Impact compared to other legendary swords (excluding Bequest) and +27 Charge Rate (again, excepting Bequest). If you're looking for an add-clear weapon, you might want to to look at Blade perks that boost your ammo capacity - one hit is likely to kill even in end-game content. Again, you're probably not looking to use the charged attack that frequently, so Burst Guard could be more useful to survive in CQC. This is the first sword that offers the trait combination of Repulsor Brace in the first column as the support perk and Destabilizing Rounds in the second as the signature perk, continuously generating a Void overshield and applying volatility to carve your way through adds. The Nadir Focus Origin Trait boosts lunge distance - a bit like an Eager Edge lite that's permanently up, which could be useful in the Crota's End Abyss encounter. Recommended MW: Impact, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

Geodetic (which means relating to the branch of applied mathematics concerned with the size and shape of the Earth) is a bit of a curious beast - having +2 Impact compared to other legendary swords (excluding Bequest) and +27 Charge Rate (again, excepting Bequest). Even if you have already got a sword decked out for Major or Boss damage, this already starts out doing more damage, so set it up as usual with a damage-boosting blade perk, ideally Jagged Edge, with Swordmaster's Guard as the guard perk. Then pair Relentless Strikes to regene4rate ammo one every third strike in the first trait column as the support perk with Whirlwind Blade in the second column as the signature perk to boost damage up up to 30% at 10 stacks. The Nadir Focus Origin Trait boosts lunge distance - a bit like an Eager Edge lite that's permanently up, which could be useful in the Crota's End Abyss encounter.
