Judgment god roll & best perks

warlockmaggie (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "It's no secret that I love Stasis; so naturally, this being the first on the list is exciting! RotN Judgment trades out a few perks in each column to make some notable combos. There's the self-sustaining Headstone/Rimestealer, the classic Demolitionist/Adrenaline Junkie, or Paracausal Affinity with an easy-to-proc 20% damage buff. Stats are still a little lacking compared to other 140s in this slot, especially Stability, so be sure to prioritize a little extra there." Recommended MW: Stability or Range.

warlockmaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Judgment has familiar 4th column perks in Opening Shot and Timed Payload, but the 3rd column perks have joined by Keep Away and Lone Wolf. I'm especially interested in obtaining a version rocking Keep Away and Opening Shot as both provide range and accuracy through the fight. As noted for PvE rolls, while this gun did get a little stat bump on re-release, it still is lacking in Stability (and Range in PvP). Focus on one or both stats and this gun should perform decently." Recommended MW: Range or Stability.

While adaptives lose out to double burst and precision HCs for pure damage output, Judgment offers the rare choice of sights rather than barrels, if that's your preference. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good - d2foundry.gg calculates that 44 Range equates to 29.94m ADS and 19.96m hipfire before damage falloff, 42 Stability is ×1.1371 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 55 Handling is 0.32s ready, 0.24s ADS and 0.35s stow speed, and 45 Reload Speed is a 2.65s reload. Recoil Direction is 95, and Zoom is 14, and Magazine size is 9 (max 14). You can use any of the sight perks that don't involve a malus to fill out the stats. In the magazine perk slot, we're looking for something that helps Reload Speed. In the first trait perk column, Demolitionist generate grenade ability energy on kills (and offers an instant reload on grenade use), Slideshot partially refills the mag by 15% of capacity (rounded up) and grants +20 to Range and Stability for 2.5s after a slide, or Rapid Hit at five stacks after five crit hits provides +25 to Stability, and +60 to Reload Speed with a ×0.92 reload animation modifier. For damage, in the second column, Paracausal Affinity boosts damage by ×1.2 for 6s after a darkness energy kill, or Timed Payload provides additional flinch from the delayed explosion, 0.8s after impact, as well a boosting crit damage by ×1.1 and bodyshot damage by ×1.15. The Crossing Over origin trait is a little strange, providing extra range and handling in the top half of the mag, and a damage boost in the bottom starting at ×1.015 at 50% and ×1.03 with your penultimate and last shot, while Gravity Well can be very useful to pick up ammo bricks within 5m on a manual reload. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Stasis Shards or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller
