Pure Poetry god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “Pure Poetry is a fantastic addition to the 120 family. With both Crimil's Dagger and Steady Hand being removed from the Iron Banner loot pool there really is only Loud Lullaby in the kinetic slot. Pure Poetry is not the best option, but it is nice to have it. The best benefit over Loud Lullaby is when you get a few resets in for your vanguard rep and have multiple perks within each column. For PvE outlaw is going to be your best friend. It can allow you to completely ignore reload and invest into handling or stability for your preference. Another great option is the newly buffed ambitious assassin to also circumvent the low mag / low reload speed. In the fourth column you cannot go wrong with any number of damage perks. Frenzy, rampage, harmony, focused fury, multikill clip, or the new pugilist. Any and all of them are fantastic, but slightly player dependent.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Kinetic Hand Cannon Primary Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (PvP Controller): Recommended MW: Stability “For PvP I do not see this as a great replacement for Loud Lullaby. Not having kill clip is a big miss on this archetype for the crucible. It can, however, act as a pocket sniper for clean-ups or to prime targets for your team. Fragile focus and opening shot together will give you some insane ranges to blint or clean up targets.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Kinetic Hand Cannon Primary Ammo)

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE backup roll for end-game content. Drops from Vanguard activities, so reset your reputation as many times as you have patience for first, to maximise the trait options from decrypting engrams. Maybe not meta as at S18 v6.2.0.6, but Aggressive Frame HCs are always handy for bounties or patrols that call for crit kills, anyway. Good stats overall, slow firing, so stability is less important - add Handling with your barrel, and reload speed with the mag perk. For your end-game needs, Ensemble or Perpetual Motion and Frenzy in combination will passively boost gunfeel stats and add 15% damage. Recommended MW: Stability or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major, or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.

Outlaw Osmosis Rampage Frenzy Swashbuckler Ambitious Assassin Fourth Time's the Charm

Inspired by DMB Podcast 278 with @Critbuff. First-choice PvP pick for duelling. As with all playlist weapons, the more reputation resets you can get, the more trait options you'll get to play with, otherwise you've only got a 1/144 chance of any pair of traits dropping, before you even look at barrel, mag and masterwork. Out of the box TTK of 1s with 2 crits and 1 body - the subfamily's low stability makes a third crit more difficult. Stats are average, so this won't replace a well-rolled Palindrome or Eyasluna. If you are duelling, then round out the stats with Fluted Barrel and Ricochet Rounds or Flared Magwell. Then, for duelling, Well-Rounded or Perpetual Motion fill out the stats nicely, and Eye of the Storm makes hitting your third shot in a gunfight easier. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Targeting Adjustor, Quick Access Sling or Sprint Grip mod depending on your preference.
