Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for controlling groups of Minor adds in general at-level or better content. King Orfeo is a precision frame bow which are rated D-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic but you might want to tuck one away in case there's a future rebalancing. The stats are excellent by comparison with its peers - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/784540303 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. The play, as ever for bows, is to used the bowstring perk to reduce the Draw Time, and the arrow perk to recover or improve Accuracy. In the first trait perk column to help with Draw Time, Archer's Tempo applies a ×0.75 animation multiplier for 3s (4s when enhanced) after a crit hit, or Successful Warm-Up applies a ×0.625 scalar after a kill for 6s, with further kills adding 4s at a time to a maximum of 20s or until stowed. Alternatively, Explosive Head boosts bodyshot damage by ×1.15 and crit damage by ×1.1 with increased stagger, and inflicts AoE damage on enemies within 3m. For fun, in the second column, Meganeura or Dragonfly both generate arc AoE explosions on crit kills - Meganeura builds up to ×3 stacks on crit hits for increasing damage in a 7.5m radius or Dragonfly is a flat 4.5m. For the Origin Trait, Nail, Meet Hammer grants ×1.08 damage against shields, and an additional 8% Special Ammo progress when initially breaking the shield. If you're interested, King Orfeo is a character from the Middle English narrative poem "Sir Orfeo" which dates back to the late 13th/early 14th century, who rescues his wife Heurodis from the fairy king who abducted her. Recommended MW: Draw Time, with your preferred choice of 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 M+KB Controller

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for controlling groups of Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly for Arc builds. King Orfeo is a precision frame bow which are rated D-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic but that might not be such a problem if you look at this as an Arc verb delivery system.

In the first trait perk column, Archer's Tempo applies a ×0.75 Draw Time animation multiplier for 3s (4s when enhanced) after a crit hit. Alternatively, Explosive Head boosts bodyshot damage by ×1.15 and crit damage by ×1.1 with increased stagger, and inflicts AoE damage on enemies within 3m. For arc builds, Jolting Feedback applies Jolt after 3 hits (2 when enhanced and 2 when amplified) enemies who can survive the weapon damage, triggering chain lightning on further hits for both target and AoE damage - unfortunately Explosive Head's double damage instances don't reduce the number of hits needed, though.
