SpaceMonkey (PvE): "Micro-missile breech GLs are pretty much exclusive to movement tech these days, so I'm not going to get into any kind of add clear roll here until I see something that makes me think it'll be worth it. The recommendations are going to be for vertical movement tech. And then separately for DPS in case it winds up being worth it for swap." Recommended MW: Handling, Reload.

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for sustained damage against bosses in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly as part of a boss damage weapon rotation. Gizmo Weft is a micro-missile frame GL which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic as they've been power crept by other special weapons, but are still useful for movement. The stats are good by comparison with its one other peer - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/1572604081 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Looks for a barrel perk that helps Handling and Velocity. Try not to hurt the Blast Radius, as that affects the width and height of the wave. For the magazine perk either Implosion Rounds or Spike Grenades will boost damage a little or alternatively High-Velocity Rounds is still decent. For a sustained boss damage roll as part of a weapon rotation, Envious Arsenal in the first trait perk column refills the magazine from reserves on dealing damage with both of your other weapons. For damage, Bait and Switch boosts damage by ×1.3 for 10s (11s when enhanced) on the same condition to proc. Other good options are Elemental Honing which grants an escalating stack of damage up to ×1.35 for 20s (23s enhanced) for each elemental damage type inflicted, which can be refreshed with a new damage type until you've run through all 5, Aggregate Charge to provide a stack for each different elemental debuff up to ×3 stacks to boost damage by up to ×1.3 (×1.33 enhanced), with each stack lasting as long as the debuff is active, or Bipod to trade having two rockets in the chamber for burst damage for -20 to Blast Radius and Reload Speed (-15 to Reload Speed enhanced) and a reduction by ×0.75 damage. For the Origin Trait, you earn a stack of Contending Cascade after kills within 4s from any source - achieving 15 stacks (12 enhanced) grants Crowning Cascade to boost Handling and Reload Speed, and an elemental explosion on kills until you die. If you're facing vehicles and constructs in an activity, there's also Häkke Breach Armaments for passive boosts to damage. If you're interested, "Gizmo" is a gadget that you can't remember the name of and "Weft" is a term in weaving for the crosswise threads that are passed over and under warp threads to make cloth, so maybe a reference to Strand? Recommended MW: Handling, 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-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God 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. Gizmo Weft is a micro-missile frame GL which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic as they've been power crept by other special weapons, but are still useful for movement. The stats are good by comparison with its one other peer - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/1572604081 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Looks for a barrel perk that helps Handling and Velocity. Try not to hurt the Blast Radius, as that affects the width and height of the wave. For the magazine perk either Implosion Rounds or Spike Grenades will boost damage a little or alternatively High-Velocity Rounds is still decent. For a burst damage roll which can also be useful in short boss DPS windows, Slideshot refills the mag and boosts Velocity and Stability by +20 each (+22 when enhanced) when you slide, or Air Trigger improves Ammo Generation by +20 (+30 enhanced), and while you're in the air, Reload Speed by +30 (+35 enhanced) with a ×0.8 animation multiplier. For damage, Bipod trades having two rockets in the chamber for burst damage for -20 to Blast Radius and Reload Speed (-15 to Reload Speed enhanced) and a reduction by ×0.75 damage. Alternatively, Aggregate Charge provides a stack for each different elemental debuff up to ×3 stacks to boost damage by up to ×1.3 (×1.33 enhanced), with each stack lasting as long as the debuff is active. For the Origin Trait, you earn a stack of Contending Cascade after kills within 4s from any source - achieving 15 stacks (12 enhanced) grants Crowning Cascade to boost Handling and Reload Speed, and an elemental explosion on kills until you die.
