Glacioclasm god roll & best perks

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 44. PvE backup roll for Void subclass in endgame content. Option of Omolon Fluid Dynamics or the Dawning Surprise origin trait can help you gain ability energy and restart healing by collecting a small box after killing a half-dozen enemies or so. There are no real holes in the stats, but Fluted Barrel or Smallbore provide nice boosts in the barrel. In the battery, Enhanced Battery gets you more shots, Particle Repeater helps keep the burst tight, or if you're a little impatient, Accelerated Coils reduces charge time. For Void subclasses, the second stack of Golden Tricorn should be easy to proc with the melee and grenade toolkit, and Subsistence or Slideshot keeps you putting out damage. Recommended MW: Reload Speed or Charge Time, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 44. PvE first-choice roll for crowd clearing.

There are no real holes in the stats, but Fluted Barrel or Smallbore provide nice boosts in the barrel. In the battery, Particle Repeater helps keep the burst tight, or if you're a little impatient, Accelerated Coils reduces charge time.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Subsistence will continue to keep reservoir burst up, but newer fusions can roll reservoir burst and keep it for more than one shot. Glacioclasm is a product of power creep, but that’s okay. Not needing to think about how many shots of reservoir burst you have left and instead going 1:1 makes things easier. Easy is good. I will also give a special shoutout to Golden tricorn. SImilar to Stay Frosty, having the ability cycling and one of the highest damage outputs you can imagine for this weapon type is incredible. Void also gives you more ways of uptime and refresh-ability. Definitely keep an eye out for that." Recommended MW - Handling.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "In PvP it’s all about stacking as many consistency perks as possible. Lowering the charge time via accelerated coils and charge time MW so you won’t have to pre-charge as long. Arrowhead to make tracking easier. Under pressure for the most accuracy bonuses. High-impact reserves for some damage bonuses. It’s not going to be as quick as Midha’s Reckoning but it can get close and feel just as strong." Recommended MW - Charge Time.

WarlockMaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): I’m not going to dissuade anyone from taking this into the Crucible, but bear in mind that pre-charging your shot is crucial to success with this archetype. Due to your starting ammo count of 2, Under Pressure and HIR will be already online, giving you a little extra stats and punch to dissolve that charging Guardian holding a Wastelander… Recommended MW: Charge Time

/u/SirStallion_ (PvP / M+KB / Controller): This weapon is a High-Impact. You can try to skirt that fact with lower charge times, but it will still charge slow and hit hard as long as you're accurate. I say embrace it and full send into consistency. Corrected recoil direction, higher stability, better accuracy while under fire. Which you inevitably will be with a High-Impact. Unlike PvE, I don't feel the attempt at lowering charge time is worth it. Recommended MW: Stability
