warlockmaggie (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "My favorite roll for this can be summed up in two words: Stasis Forebearance. Unrelenting and Chain Reaction will obliterate a group of minor enemies and give you a decent bump in HP for doing so. Redirection is also very strong and can turn your add-clear into major/champion removal. If you play the multi-element mini game, Elemental Honing can reward you with up 35% damage bonus for 20 seconds!" Recommended MW: Velocity or Reload Speed.

warlockmaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Wave Frame grenada launchers take a little getting used to in PvP, but they can soften targets or get cleanups on a zone. Not a lot of perks that stand out for PvP, but Kill Clip is probably the strongest option that we have. Lead from Gold does proc from Heavy Ammo pickups, so that's a viable 3rd column pick." Recommended MW: Velocity or Handling.
