Redrix's Estoc god roll & best perks

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for use against Minor adds in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty, particularly with Prismatic builds. The reprised Redrix's Estoc is a Legacy PR-55 frame pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated D-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ as "essentially just a worse high-impact auto". The frame intrinsic offers built-in anti-Barrier and "dramatically increased accuracy, stability, and targeting while hip firing" as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats make this the best in class by comparison with its peers - you can see the stats at https://destiny.report/w/747743636/redrixs-estoc and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/747743636 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The recoil is vertical but loose, so to tighten that up, look for a barrel perk that helps with Recoil Direction or, if you can handle it just go for extra handling, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For add-clearing, in the first trait perk column there's the choice of Firefly which procs a 4m AoE Solar explosion on a crit kill plus +50 Reload Speed for 6s, Demolitionist which generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use, for your neutral game, or Crystalline Corpsebloom which procs on a kill to provide a 4s buff - kills with the buff active generate a Stasis seeker which travels 3m before spawning a medium Stasis crystal (large when enhanced) - these are weapon-generated entities so can inherit damage buffs, and proc Stasis subclass fragments when shattered for AoE damage. In the second column, syergising well with Prismatic builds, Elemental Honing grants an escalating stack of damage up to ×1.35 for 20s (23s when enhanced) for each elemental damage type inflicted, which can be refreshed with a new damage type until you've run through all 5. Handily, crit kills with Firefly that inflict solar damage alongside the stasis damage from the weapon will grant an instant ×2 stack to get you started. You have a choice of stocks rather than origin traits - any can work so look for one that boosts your preferred weapon stat. If you're interested, Redrix-3 was an Exo Titan who was a legendary champion of the early Crucible, while an "estoc" is a 14th-century longsword designed to punch through chainmail or gaps in heavy plate armour. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.|tags:PvE PvE-Minor PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing groups of Minor adds in activities rated Normal difficulty, particularly with Stasis builds.

The recoil is vertical but loose, so to tighten that up, look for a barrel perk that helps with Recoil Direction or, if you can handle it just go for extra handling, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For Stasis synergy and clearing groups of adds in general content, in the first trait perk column there's the choice of Rimestealer which generates ×1 stack (×2 stacks when enhanced) of Stasis Frost Armor on shattering a Stasis crystal or killing a frozen enemy, or Crystalline Corpsebloom which procs on a kill to provide a 4s buff - kills with the buff active generate a Stasis seeker which travels 3m before spawning a medium Stasis crystal (large when enhanced). In the second column, Headstone generates a Stasis crystal on a crit kill. The Stasis crystals are weapon-generated entities so can inherit damage buffs, and proc subclass fragments when shattered for AoE damage.

In the second column, Headstone generates a Stasis crystal on a crit kill, these are weapon-generated entities so can inherit damage buffs, and proc weapon traits (like Demolitionist) and subclass fragments when shattered for AoE damage. Firefly and Headstone together will create and shatter the Stasis crystal with a single crit kill.
