Psychopomp god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "What a fun little grenade launcher. Area denial where all the kills also build up your Bolt Charge. Ambitious Assassin gives you more chances for those kills. If you prefer less Arc synergy (look elsewhere????) then go for Unrelenting in the final column to get passive health back as unsuspecting Thrall walks through your pools." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Area Denial grenade launchers have not been meta outside of Witherhoard because Witherhoard can stick. The area denial frames just leave a nice pool around them, but do even less tick damage than Witherhoard. I know you're giving up your exotic slot, but Witherhoard is a straight upgrade over the legendaries in PvP." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 129 from 4 February 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/19eFPPXbMv7cC0w8kJ234H?si=d61c9144b9aa4974) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for clearing Minor add crowds in general, and end-game underleveled content. Psychopomp adds an S-Tier arc option to the lineup of area denial frame grenade launchers. At base, the stats are in-band - at the time of writing, D2Foundry isn't showing the in-game stats, but hopefully they'll be added in soon. With 0/1/2/3 reserves mods, total ammo is 24/25/25/25 (max 25). Quick Launch as the barrel perk boosts both Handling and Velocity, and the High-Velocity Rounds magazine perk adds more Velocity with Reload Speed. In the first trait perk column, Ambitious Assassin overflows the magazine for two shots from a reload after a kill, as can the Runneth Over origin trait when you're with 15m of at least one other ally and, when the stars align, they can both proc for a physics-defying three in the tube. Alternatively, for melee builds, you gain 20% ability energy per kill from Pugilist. In the second column, Frenzy maxes out Handling and Reload Speed and boosts damage by ×1.15 just for being in combat. Runneth Over is probably the more immediately useful origin trait, overflowing your magazine by 10% of base magazine capacity per nearby ally (up to 5) when reloading. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a Quick Access Sling mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Ionic Traces or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
