Sublimation god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 150 from 19 August 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/09YmSx1l928T7hFnj7Kvxi?si=eb827f2ac1974a14) with @CourtProjects, @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing minor add groups both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with arc builds. As a high impact frame, Sublimation is the second-highest damage output scort rifle subfamily, so might be a decent replacement option for longer range encounters. The frame intrinsic provides improved accuracy when stationary or moving slowly. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are middling benefitting from the boost at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that Range of 72 translates to 41.54m hipfire and 83.08m ADS before damage drop-off, 26 Stability is ×1.0150 flinch resistance, 27 Handling is 0.46s ready, 0.37s ADS and 0.48s stow speed, 27 Reload Speed is a 2.45s reload and Magazine Size is 12 (max 19). The two stats that need the most help from the barrel and mag perks are boosting Handling and Reload Speed - with this being slow firing, there should be time for the reticule to reset between shots. For a general-purpose roll, in the first trait perk column Demolitionist generates grenade ability on kills and reloads your weapon when using a grenade, Shoot to Loot is very useful to pick up ammo bricks and orbs from a safe location, Rapid Hit improves Stability by up to +25 and Reload Speed by up to +60 with a ×0.92 animation modifier at 5 stacks on rapid crit hits, or Eddy Current boosts Reload Speed by +20 with a ×0.95 animation multiplier and Handling with a ×0.95 handling animation multiplier for after sprinting for 1.5s (instant proccing and +60 Reload Speed if you're amplified. As a second column damage perk, Redirection is great to store damage by hitting minor adds, for 2 stacks per hit up to 30 stacks, for use against majors and bosses for ×1.33 damage used at three stacks per shot (×1.5 at two stacks per shot when enhanced). Alternatively, Explosive Payload is a ×1.15 damage boost to bodyshot damage or ×1.085 to crit hits. The Exhaustive Research Origin Trait is very good for PvE - ADS for 1s at an enemy up to 60m away, and the next shot will fire a mini-rocket - these are affected by and can proc rocket-based perks and traits too - with a 5s cooldown. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost 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
