Sacred Provenance god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Sacred Provenance used to be the only aggressive burst pulse rifle. It had counterparts but they were sunset. Now that there's a better population, does it still compete? Well with an updated perk pool it certainly does. Blast Furnace and Sacred Provenance both get Kinetic Tremors but Sacred Provenance can also get Demolitionist for grenade heavy builds. For general use I'd still say Blast Furnace is better because you can pair Kinetic Tremors with a damage increasing perk but if you like the look or feel of Vex themed weapons like Adriana, Enlightened by the Vex, you cannot be stopped with this pulse." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Aggressive frame pulse rifles fall short of their High-Impact frame brethren. They still two burst but ever so slightly slower and the longer bursts can make tracking difficult. Rapid Hit can make landing those two taps easier and Headseeker can bake in some forgiveness if you hit a body shot first. Kill Clip bakes in even more forgiveness if you secure a kill first and Desperado can make your two burst even faster than the High-Impact Frame pulses which is neat. Unfortunately it takes activating a perk to achieve the same success they have natively but it will catch people by surprise." Recommended MW: Stability.

Although the Sacred Provenance Aggressive Burst subfamily isn't top tier for pulse rifle PvE damage, it wouldn't take too much to make them shine so it's worth keeping a good roll, just in case. At base the stats are good - 69 Range equates to 38.12m when ADS and 21.18m hipfire, 24 Handling is a 0.47s ready, 0.41s ADS and 0.46s stow time, and 36 Reload Speed is a 2.12s reload. Arrowhead Brake as the barrel perk deals with the wonky Recoil Direction of 70 and adds Handling. High-Caliber Rounds adds useful flinch or Armor-Piercing Rounds works well to the origin trait against shielded enemies. For a general purpose roll, Demolitionist in the first trait perk column is always fun and can be paired in the second with Frenzy, which maxes out the stat gaps nicely as well as boosting damage by ×1.15, or Desperate Measures for up to ×1.3 damage by using all your extra grenades. The Photoinhibition origin trait is very strong for PvE - a ×1.343 damage boost against barriers and elemental shields and ×1.216 against combatant overshields plus disorienting your target and, if matched with the shield type adds nearby too for 7s. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create power orbs or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader.|tags:PvE PvE-Minor PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
