Rake Angle (Adept) god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Rake Angle, oh how we've waited so long for you. Chill Clip my baby come home. We've needed a replacement since Riptide was nerfed. You'll want to bump up the magazine from 3 so you can fire 2 Chill Clip shots. Impulse Amplifier will feel the best neutrally but Overflow, Lead From Gold and Replenishing Aegis are all good pairings." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "While I wouldn't recommend glaives for most players it is a niche play style with high risk, high reward. The handful of players with thousands of glaive kills really pad those numbers up for the community. You know what to expect and grind for if PvP is where you're taking Rake Angle. For those outside the know, Replenishing Aegis and Unstoppable Force are great to start with and move on to Close to Melee or Chill Clip depending on your newfound build." Recommended MW: Range.

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.1.5.1 (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): PvE pick for clearing Minor adds in general non-underleveled content, particularly for melee builds. Rake Angle gives a kinetic slot Glaive option at last, for anyone dreaming of triple glaive builds. At base the stats are solid - 66 Range equates to 18.60m and a projectile speed of 112.32m/s, 52 Handling is 0.31s ready speed and 0.37s stow speed, Shield Duration of 42 is 11.27s when fully charged, while the Reload Speed of 43 is a 2.75s reload. Mag size is 4 (max is 6) and with 0/1/2/3 reserve mods, you'll start with total ammo of 24/28/31/33 (max is 33). With this being an aggressive frame, you could look to improve Handling with Tempered Truss Rods or Shield Duration with Auxiliary Reserves as the haft perk, depending on your preference. As the magazine perk, Light Mag improved reload a little and adds a smidge of range. or Swap Mag improves ready and stow speed. If you enjoy the melee lifestyle, Pugilist boosts melee energy on bolt kills or Handling on glaive melee damage - with Close to Melee, you can boost glaive melee damage by ×1.3 or with Swashbuckler, you can use a glaive melee kill to boost projectile damage by ×1.33. The Vanguard Vindication provides a little bit of health, or Stunning Recovery refills the mag, and provides health and Recovery stat bumps after you deal with a Champion, when there's a matching seasonal artifact mod. Recommended MW: Shield Duration or Handling, with an Adept Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create more Stasis shards or Stunloader when there's a matching artifact mod.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 124 from 19 November 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3n08KP410ui1TXoEdBmsvu?si=2badf5a8fcac408d) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Utility PvE-Champion PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE utility pick in general, and end-game underleveled content, particularly for Stasis builds. Rake Angle gives a kinetic slot Glaive option at last, for anyone dreaming of triple glaive builds. At base the stats are solid - 66 Range equates to 18.60m and a projectile speed of 112.32m/s, 52 Handling is 0.31s ready speed and 0.37s stow speed, Shield Duration of 42 is 11.27s when fully charged, while the Reload Speed of 43 is a 2.75s reload. Mag size is 4 (max is 6) and with 0/1/2/3 reserve mods, you'll start with total ammo of 24/28/31/33 (max is 33). You could look to improve Handling with Tempered Truss Rods or Shield Duration with Auxiliary Reserves as the haft perk, depending on your preference. The Adept Backup Mag mod maxes the number of shots to 6, and none of the other mag perks really offes much so Swap Mag is probably the best of the options for faster ready and stow. The second trait perk that makes this special is Chill Clip to show and disrupt Overload Champions, while three shots with a six shot mag will freeze, and stun, Unstoppable Champions - you can also build into Stasis verbs with your fragments. To that end, Overflow is great first trait perk choice, doubling the mag size when picking up ammo even when stowed, giving nine Chill Clip shots. Alternatively, Replenishing Aegis refills the mag when you bock damage with the shield or Lead from Gold helps with the overall ammo economy. The Stunning Recovery origin trait refills the mag, and provides health and Recovery stat bumps after you deal with a Champion, so synergises well. Recommended MW: Handling or Shield Duration, with an Adept Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Stunloader for a partial reload when fighting Champions.|tags:PvE PvE-Utility PvE-Champion PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
