Succession god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 102 from 23 April 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5kuhrmYKBDwvLtzZJQmxiK?si=7f73118bec6743ac) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects. First-choice PvE pick for burst damege against Major and Boss Spec enemies in end-game content. If you find a roll you like, keep for the ability to enhance perks when Final Shape arrives. First thing to say is if you already have the DSC raid version, you're already covered. If not, this is an excellent kinetic frame sniper rifle with pretty much best in-subfamily stats. The best rolls are more for burst damage against majors and stunned Champions. Fluted Barrel adds handling and stability, or go all-in to stability with Polygonal Rifling. You can use Tactical Mag to add stability and reload speed, or maximise your magazine size with Extended Mag and Backup Mag. For Majors, Reconstruction will double your magazine size (so you can get up to 10 in the mag with Extended Mag and a Backup Mag mod), and Recombination give you an Izanagi-lite first shot with up to 100% bonus damage, Firing Line provides a passive 20% bonus crit damage in a fireteam or, if you're running solo, Focused Fury can proc after three crit his, so your remaining shots have 20% bonus damage, or Vorpal Weapon is just a straight 15% damage against Majors and Bosses. The Indomitability origin trait seems built for the Prismatic subclass, generating grenade of melle energy according to your subclass type. Recommended MW: Stability, with a damage boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-BossSpec, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I understand Bungie wants players to get a taste of the raid weapons to get players to buy the expansions and then play the raids, but Heritage is arguably a better Deep Stone Crypt weapon that doesn't infringe on other weapon types. Nevertheless, there are not many rolls you will be farming for. Reconstruction will give you more ammo in your magazine by rebuilding itself over time. Pair that with either Vorpal Weapon or Recombination for some high damage shot(s). Firing Line is great if you can link up with teammates to get the extra damage." Recommended MW: Handling or Stability.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Over in the crucible snipers have taken a hit. Not only did they get harder to use with an aim assist nerf, but the ammo economy shifting makes it feel as if you're never getting ammo. In order to make the most use of Succession you'll need high handling alongside Snapshot Sights. Then you can choose your column 3 perk from Moving Target for added aim assist and strafe speed when ADS, or Firmly Planted for better accuracy and a slight handling bump when crouched." Recommended MW: Handling.
