Mistral Lift god roll & best perks

SpaceMonkey (PvE): "LFRs are pretty terrible right now, but if they were to come back into meta this is a legitimate contender with Scintillation as the most viable option. The utility potential of having withering gaze in the first column paired with a damage perk is honestly pretty intriguing." Recommended MW: Charge Time, Reload, Handling.

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for burst damage to Banes, Elites, Champions and Minibosses in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Mistral Lift is an adaptive LFR which are rated D-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic having been seriously power crept by crossbows and heavy disruptor snipers, so this is more to think about keeping in case there's a future rebalancing. The stats are low by comparison with its peers - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/766122634 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Look for a barrel perk that helps Handling, and then a battery perk that helps with charge time or magazine size. For a burst damage roll, which can also be useful for shorter boss DPS windows too, in the first trait perk column Reconstruction refills 25% of the magazine every 6s (5.5s when enhanced) up to ×2 capacity when stowed or not firing, or Overflow overflows the magazine by ×2 (×2.2 when enhanced), rounded up, on picking up an ammo brick. Pair one of those with Reservoir Burst in the second column to provide a ×1.25 damage boost when the battery is at or above maximum capacity, and trigger an AoE explosion on a kill. For the Origin Trait, Dawning Surprise has a hidden counter - 6 red bar kills (5 enhanced) or 2 orange/yellow bars will fill this to generate a pickup which last 10s that grants 10% energy to melee, grenade and super, +22 HP and start regeneration, but as LFRs really aren't for add-clearing, Veist Stinger providing a 10% chance per hit to refill 25% of the battery, is probably more useful. Recommended MW: Charge Time, with Backup Mag or 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-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Look for a barrel perk that helps Handling, and then a battery perk that helps with charge time or magazine size. For a classic sustained boss damage roll for longer DPS windows, ignore the weird collection of add clearing trait perks, and go with Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch, which both proc on dealing damage with both of your other weapons to refill the magazine from reserves and boost damage by ×1.3 for 10s (11s when enhanced). For the Origin Trait, Dawning Surprise has a hidden counter - 6 red bar kills (5 enhanced) or 2 orange/yellow bars will fill this to generate a pickup which last 10s that grants 10% energy to melee, grenade and super, +22 HP and start regeneration, so can be very useful or Field Test provides steady boosts to Range, Stability, Handling and Reload Speed on hits and kills, lasting until you die.
