Judgment of Kelgorath god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Now I have not had the opportunity to fully test it but if Incandescent works with the glaive melee. That would be a hoot. If it doesn’t work with the melee it will still be an incredible combo. You could also go with the new glaive perk close to melee to increase your glaive damage. Judgment of Kelgorath is truly the best legendary glaive of them all." Recommended MW - Shield Duration.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Let me be perfectly honest and say I do not like glaives in PvP. I understand their appeal and their usefulness. I just don’t vibe with them. I do know that immovable object and tilting at windmills are fantastic if you use your shield constantly (why wouldn’t you), Unstoppable force is the perk on glaives to maximize their effectiveness once you do get the shield up."

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 44. Backup PvE roll for general content. Shapeable. The Ambush origin trait is probably more for PvP than PvE, with the extra range, handling and 10% boost to damage for a few moments after combat starts but will be more use for a glaive than Hakke Breach Armaments. JoK is a new subtype for Season 19 - a slower, but harder hitting slashy shooty stick than we're used to. You're going to be in CQC, where projectile speed (governed by range) isn't quite as important, and the shield can be quite useful to survive in a crowd. Use your haft to improve charge time and shield duration, and take the extra shot from Appended Mag (Extended Mag gives you no more shots so isn't worth it), or the faster reload and extra range from Light Mag. In the first trait column, for a utility build, Demolitionist bypasses the slow reload speed just for using your grenade and the kills regain 20% energy - the same return that Pugilist grants for melee energy. Close to Melee was just built for glaives - projectile kills improve melee damage by 30%, and more kills with either projectile or melee extend the timer. Proc and go have fun. MW: Range, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-MajorSpec, Controller, M+KB
