The Guiding Sight god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 77 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4RxkTOwLINWvKzUitNoAFy?si=1426d1f760c544b5) with @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr while @CourtProjects is on holiday. First-choice PvE pick for Strand synergy and Minor Spec enemies in general content. The good news is that reprised Guiding Sight is now a Strand Scout Rifle. the bad news is that it's still a high-Impact frame, so it's the least competitive subtype. The stats are decent, so this might be an easier to obtain option, if you've not got a Strand scout already. With the barrel, you can buff some of the low stats - Handling and Stability, and then the mag can help with the reload speed, or just choose from one of the combat effect mags. For Strand synergy, Hatchling as the second trait column signature perk generates Threadlings on a crit kill - make sure you have the Thread of Generation fragment to make the most of them. As the first column support column perk to work with Hatchling, you could choose from Demolitionist (and even more Threadlings for Warlocks), or Enlightened Action or Perpetual Motion add nice bumps to gunfeel stats. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "The Guiding Sight is similar to Nightshade with multiple revisions. Originally in Vanilla, and then dropping again in Season of the Hunt. Can we get a new gun? The Guiding Sight did lose one of its biggest attractors, the scopes you can select. Now with just barrels the best one is Arrowhead Brake to bring the recoil all the way to 100. Precision Instrument will be strong on this gun because you can keep a safe distance and still keep putting out incredible damage. Enlightened Action will also bring up the gun feel and help your reload." Recommended MW: Handling.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Now, while you can 3 crit at 0.80 at nearly every distance. I don't think this scout will be really strong in the close range. Fluted Barrel and Ricochet Rounds will bring up the low stats. Perpetual Motion and Enlightened Action will both boost your stats further and Kill Clip will allow you to 2 crit 1 body in the close range. It's not the strongest scout in the game. But it is now another high-impact scout with Kill Clip." Recommended MW: Stability.

First-choice PvE pick for clearing beefier Minor Spec enemies in end-game content.

With the barrel, you can buff some of the low stats - Handling and Stability, and then the mag can help with the reload speed, or just choose from one of the combat effect mags. The pairing of Enlightened Action as the first column support trait to boost Handling and Reload Speed and Precision Instrument in the second column signature perk for an escalating damage buff on crits is a natural pairing to help with long-range add clearing.
