Romantic Death god roll & best perks

Inspired by @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for dealing with Minor adds in CQC in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Romantic Death is the first void wave-frame grenade launcher since season 20 - the subfamily is overshadowed by area denial GLs, so maybe save one and hope they're given a bit of a buff. The stats are pretty average, except for a better Ammo Generation stat, and they're helped at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/4169082039 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Look to boost Handling or Blast Radius with the barrel perk - you'll be shooting at your feet, so Velocity is less important than with other GLs. Of the two Magazine perks, High-Velocity Rounds is the easy pick. You have a few CQC-procced trait perks to choose from. In the first column, Proximity Power stacks up ×3 times to provide +15 (+18 when enhanced) to your Melee attribute per stack on kills when another enemy's within 15m - a total a +45 (+54) for a refreshable 10s on further kills, so you can invest stat points into other armour attributes. Alternatively, when you're within 15m of 1/2+ enemies, Threat Detector adds +15/40 Stability (+19/44 when enhanced), +18/60 Reload Speed (+22/64 enhanced) with a ×0.9/0.81 animation scalar and +25/100 (+29/100 enhanced) Handling. For damage, Surrounded procs to boost damage by up to ×1.4 (×1.47 when enhanced) while within 15m of 3+ enemies. The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die. Recommended MW: Handling or Blast Radius, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Inspired by @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for dealing with groups of Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with a Void build. Romantic Death is the first void wave-frame grenade launcher since season 20 - the subfamily is overshadowed by area denial GLs, so maybe save one and hope they're given a bit of a buff. The stats are pretty average, except for a better Ammo Generation stat, and they're helped at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/4169082039 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Look to boost Handling or Blast Radius with the barrel perk - you'll be shooting at your feet, so Velocity is less important than with other GLs. Of the two Magazine perks, High-Velocity Rounds is the easy pick. As with most current void weapons, you have Repulsor Brace in the first trait perk column to provide a Void overshield for 8s (10s when enhanced) after killing a void-debuffed enemy - duration boosted by ×1.5 with Echo of Persistence. In the second, to apply the void debuff, Destabilizing Rounds spreads Volatility on a kill in a 6.5m radius and provides Volatile Rounds for 4.5s (5.25s when enhanced). The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die.

Of the two Magazine perks, High-Velocity Rounds is the easy pick.
