Warden's Law (Adept) god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Warden's Law got a buff recently and allows it to feel more like a hybrid Crimson. The two burst, feeling almost like a short version of Revision Zero or Graviton Lance. That's not a bad thing by the way. In PvE you'll want Fourth Time's the Charm, which should actually work on this gun, coupled with Vorpal Weapon for the highest damage and best mag utilization. For a more neutral weapon something like Enlightened Action and Frenzy for damage, reload, and handling all wrapped up into one." Recommended MW: Reload.

Appended Mag Fourth Time's the Charm Smallbore Vorpal Weapon Enlightened Action Frenzy Tactical Mag Flared Magwell Corkscrew Rifling Fluted Barrel

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "I would like to get my hands on a Warden's Law with Zen Moment to see if I can completely ignore stability as one trigger pull will grant my 4 stacks (2 per hit). It would feel incredible with that and Moving Target for more aim assist. Rampage and Kill Clip can both make the two burst easier and require less crits, but it won't be enough to one burst on its own. Kill Clip with a Ward of Dawn will be able to one burst dealing 124 to the head and 78 to the body. Really easy to down an enemy in record time." Recommended MW: Stability.

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 add clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content. The reprised Warden's Law is the first of a new Heavy Burst subtype, so there's nothing to compare it against. The stats look like those of a 120 but with less range and, although the magazine looks generous, every trigger pull shoots two bullets so in reality, you'll only have 8 shots at base. Handling and Stability could both do with a bump, but we can sort handling with traits, so Polygonal Rifling provides the biggest boost, followed by Smallbore, Fluted Barrel and then Corkscrew Rifling. We can sort reload speed out with a trait too, so you can maximise the rounds with Extended Mag, or play a little safer with Appended Mag or Tactical Mag. In the first trait column as the support perk, the most useful option is Fourth Time's the Charm, and then Frenzy as the second column signature perk maximises handling and reload speed along with the useful 15% buff to damage. Recommended MW: Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec), or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

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 Major Spec enemies in end-game content. The reprised Warden's Law is the first of a new Heavy Burst subtype, so there's nothing to compare it against. The stats look like those of a 120 but with less range and, although the magazine looks generous, every trigger pull shoots two bullets so in reality, you'll only have 8 shots at base. Handling and Stability could both do with a bump, so Fluted Barrel is the first choice for the barrel, with Corkscrew Rifling as an alternate choice. Appended Mag adds 2 "shots", or Tactical Mag adds one, but also helps with Stability and Reload Speed. In the first trait column, as the support perk, Enlightened Action will boost both handling and reload speed just for hits (so you'll get two stacks per burst), or Perpetual Motion will provide smaller bumps to stats. In the second column as the signature perk, Vorpal Weapon, particularly in combination with Lucky Pants for Hunters, can do some decent damage against Majors, but mostly for Champions, when a seasonal mod is in play - with the two shots, this should be particularly good against overloads. Recommended MW: Stability (with Enlightened Action) or Handling (with Perpetual Motion), with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec), or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-Champion, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller
