New Pacific Epitaph god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Velocity. Wave Frame(72) Stasis Grenade Launcher Special Ammo. "New Pacific Epitaph is our newest Stasis grenade launcher, at first I was disappointed with no Chill Clip, but then I saw why. A wave frame GL. This brings back up my excitement. Wave frame grenade launchers are arguably the best GL to bring into any content. They are easy to use, reliable, and unless the architecture messes with you very easy to secure multikills with. Collective Action is the best for subclass agnostic builds. Redirection will make easy work of bigger targets, and hordes building up that damage. Kill Clip is simple because you always have to reload to fire."

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Velocity. Wave Frame(72) Stasis Grenade Launcher Special Ammo. "In PvP there aren’t many good perks here. Perpetual Motion is solid, but not a replacement for Auto-Loading Holster. Adrenaline Junkie can build up that damage for the highest damage but won’t one shot a tier 10 guardian. Kill Clip and Harmony do less than Adrenaline Junkie 5x in that order"

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 67 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3wGaXiUGMNodLkPkGFdBd3?si=42e0db2e63a443b7) with @CourtProjects, @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr. Backup PvE pick for minor add clear in endgame activities. New Pacific Epitaph is the first kinetic slot wave frame grenade launcher, so there's no direct comparison, but compared to the energy slot versions the stats are decent. As ever, play is to get the shot speed as high as you can, so Quick Launch in the barrel and High-Velocity Rounds in the magazine are the best choices. For use against endgame minor adds, as the first trait column support perk Demolitionist (which returns 20% grenade energy on special weapons, and allows for an instant reload on a grenade throw), or Lead from Gold for ammo economy, or Unrelenting to help you stay alive all work well. In the second column as the signature Perk, Collective Action should be easy to proc with all the Elemental Pickups now available, for a 20% damage boost for 7s. The Restoration Ritual origin trait is also occasionally useful for an instant reload after proccing. Recommended MW: Velocity, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, Controller, M+KB
