[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Any] "Posterity's probably one of my favourite designs ever, along with all of the DSC weapons really. It has great access to the core basics; reloaders, along with stability and damage buffs. I typically like One-for-All over Rampage here, the buff longevity feels much better on a weaker weapon like a 180RPM, as Rampage becomes difficult to chain (within 3s) in mid-to-high level content. Similarly, Rapid Hit works a treat over Feeding Frenzy once you start dealing with more resistant enemies."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast Versus Enemies episode 48 with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE roll for end-game content. The Bray Inheritance trait is really useful for PvE, returning from 0.46% to 2% ability energy from hits (the amount depends on the weapon archetype). Precision HCs aren't the best choice for PvE as at v6.3.0.7, but just in case they ever get at little love, this might be worth tucking away. Stats are good by comparison with competitors. Fluted Barrel makes it feel snappier and Tactical Mag adds couple of extra bullets and stability. For end-game add clear, Reconstruction can double the size of your magazine, or Rapid Hit or Surplus and Frenzy between them can passively max out stability, handling and reload speed and add 15% damage. Recommended MW: Range, with a Minor or Taken Spec mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-Champion, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast Versus Enemies episode 48 with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE roll for arc synergy and end-game content. The Bray Inheritance trait is really useful for PvE, returning from 0.46% to 2% ability energy from hits (the amount depends on the weapon archetype). Who would have thought that the hottest property from DSC would be a precision hand cannon? Stats are good by comparison with competitors. Fluted Barrel makes it feel snappier and Tactical Mag adds couple of extra bullets and stability. Unusually, Voltshot rolls in the first trait column and is the runaway best option for add clear, and using Frenzy as a second damage perk also boosts handling and reload to 100 so you can proc Voltshot's jolt as fast as possible after a kill, which will also stun Overload champions from Lightfall (Season 20) onwards. Just chef's kiss good. Recommended MW: Range, with a Minor or Taken Spec mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-Champion, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB
