Psi Hermetic V god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Psi Heretic V has some incredible uses in PvE. It's not the absolute strongest weapon, but it will be a reliable workhorse if you need a pulse. Being one from the the highest damage archetype paired with Frenzy, or even Kill Clip you'll be able to have some great damage or stasis utility through Headstone. Outlaw is the best neutrally but Enlightened Action boosting the low handling will feel really nice." Recommended MW: Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "So Psi Heretic V is a great PvP pulse. Don’t believe me? You can hit 100 stability with Smallbore / Steady Rounds / Void Elemental Capacitor / Stability MW, and you have your fourth column perk to do with as you please. Perpetual Motion for more handling and reload, Headseeker for more forgiving bursts, Kill Clip for a bit of chaining, Headstone for Stasis shenanigans. The world is your oyster. Crack it and find out what you want." Recommended MW: Stability.

First-choice PvE pick for Stasis synergy and add clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content. The name's a bit confusing - Psi (Ψ) is the 23rd letter in the Greek Alphabet, and Hermetic can mean something that's occult or mysterious and difficult to understand, relating to the legendary alchemist Hermes Trismegistus, tightly sealed, immune to external influence, or solitary like a hermit, so your guess is as good as anyone's. Anyway, this is a Stasis High Impact pulse rifle with decent stats. Look for something that helps with recoil direction, handling, stability or a mix as the barrel perk, and add range with Accurized Rounds or the useful gunfeel boosts of Tactical Mag. The traits are a bit PvP focussed - Enlightened Action is the best of the first column support perks, for big boosts to handling and reload speed with just two 3-bullet bursts. For Stasis synergy, Headstone generates a crystal on a crit kill, to use to proc your subclass fragments. The Wild Card origin trait is great for PvE - the occasional drop of Telesto-like "Experimental submunitions" on a kill for a bit of free additional damage. Recommended MW: Charge Time or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-BossSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller
