Adamsdown_Boy written v9.0.0.5 (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Jurisprudent is a decent enough stasis scout rifle, for when you want to stay a long way away from trouble. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are fine - d2foundry.gg calculates that 68 Range equates to 40.91m hipfire and 81.82m when ADS before damage falloff, 23 Stability is ×1.0750 flinch resist at base, 28 Handling is 0.46s ready, 0.36s ADS and 0.44s stow speed, and 33 Reload Speed is a 2.32s reload. Ammo Regeneration is 55, Recoil Direction is 66, and Zoom is 21. With the slower fire rate of a high-impact scout rifle, stability isn't too much of an issue, so focus on Handling to improve snappiness with the barrel perk. For the magazine perk, Tactical Mag, Flared Magwell or Alloy Mag are reliable options for boosting gunfeel stats. For general use, in the first column Enlightened Action can boost Handling and Reload Speed by +50 (+55 when enhanced) for 2s at 12 stacks, or Rapid Hit boosts Stability by +25, Reload Speed by +60 with a ×0.92 animation duration for 2s after 5 crit hits. In the second column, Explosive Payload passively boosts bodyshot damage by ×1.15 and crit damage by ×1.085 as well as adding flinch and making Overload Champion stunning faster. The Bray Legacy Origin Trait is solid in PvE, generating around 0.2% energy per hit for whichever ability is closest to a full charge. If you're interested, the word "Jurisprudent" means an expert in, or relating to the theory and philosophy of the law. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 148 from 5 August 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3S0TObWihybmZdCLM6wIUw?si=cf08fccbb9d44fa7) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with a Stasis build. Jurisprudent is a decent enough stasis scout rifle, for when you want to stay a long way away from trouble. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are fine - d2foundry.gg calculates that 68 Range equates to 40.91m hipfire and 81.82m when ADS before damage falloff, 23 Stability is ×1.0750 flinch resist at base, 28 Handling is 0.46s ready, 0.36s ADS and 0.44s stow speed, and 33 Reload Speed is a 2.32s reload. Ammo Regeneration is 55, Recoil Direction is 66, and Zoom is 21. With the slower fire rate of a high-impact scout rifle, stability isn't too much of an issue, so focus on Handling to improve snappiness with the barrel perk. For the magazine perk, Tactical Mag, Flared Magwell or Alloy Mag are reliable options for boosting gunfeel stats. For Stasis builds, you have the Rimestealer and Headstone combination to build Frost Armor stacks on killing frozen enemies or shattering Stasis crystals, which you can generate on crit kills. The Bray Legacy Origin Trait is solid in PvE, generating around 0.2% energy per hit for whichever ability is closest to a full charge.

What these Jurisprudent perks do

Headstone

Precision Kills create a Large Stasis Crystal at the target's location. Tier 1-2 Minor and Tier 1 Elite Combatants only spawn a Medium Stasis Crystal. Creating 5 Crystals within ? seconds prevents the perk from activating for 5 seconds.

Rimestealer

Killing Frozen Enemies or Shattering a Stasis Crystal with the weapon grants a Stack of Frost Armor.

Alloy Magazine

Linearly grants a Reload Duration Multiplier as your magazine drops from 50% capacity to empty. Reload Duration Multiplier scales from 0.9x at 50% capacity to 0.8x with an empty magazine.

Explosive Payload

Splits off 50% of the weapon's bodyshot damage into an Explosive Payload that detonates on impact. The Payload deals 30% increased damage in PvE and staggers PvE Combatants more. On Hand Cannons, the Payload deals 7% decreased damage in PvP. The remaining Impact damage portion receives an increased Crit Multiplier to compensate for the Payload not benefitting from crits. [PvE] Total damage is increased by 15% of the weapon's bodyshot damage. For crits, the overall increase is roughly equal to 15% divided by the Crit Multiplier. [PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.

Enlightened Action

Weapon Hits grant Stacks of Enlightened Action for 2 seconds. Maximum of 12 Stacks. Stat bonuses at 1|2|…|12 Stacks: 2|7|12|15|20|25|30|35|38|40|45|50 Handling and Reload Speed Stacks granted per hit by Weapon Type: • Hand Cannons: 3 Stacks • Bows: ? Stacks • Automatic Weapons: 1 Stack

Rapid Hit

"Buffed Hits" grant 1 Stack of Rapid Hit for 2 seconds. Maximum of 5 Stacks. "Buffed Hits" refer to any "Yellow Number" Hits such as Precision Hits or Hits against debuffed targets. Benefits at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks: • 2|12|14|18|25 Stability • 5|30|35|42|60 Reload Speed • 0.99x|0.96x|0.95x|0.945x|0.92x Reload Duration Multiplier
