[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Accuracy] "Whispering Slab is a decent Kinetic option if you're a fan of Lightweights, or just don't like Biting Winds / Accrued Redemption for some reason. Whispering Slab definitely has the "cool" factor of firing from a portable surfboard, and if you can snag a Vorpal roll, that will do decently well against Champions, Majors and the like. Spec highly into Accuracy to make up for the Lightweight archetype's shortcomings."

(PvE): Mercules904 (OK PvE) - "A slightly faster draw time does not make up for how much less damage they do, which makes them harder to use in both PvP and PvE (even with the 10% damage buff to red bars from the most recent sandbox patch). They're less likely to kill injured enemies in PvP, and their accuracy (which is basically the range stat for bows) is really atrocious which means you're a lot more likely to find enemies outside of your optimal engagement range than if you use a Precision bow, Trinity Ghoul, or Le Monarque. That being said, they do have some benefits to them statistically, like high aim assist within their optimal range and a snappy feeling thanks to quick reload speed and handling."

What these Whispering Slab perks do

Archer's Tempo

Precision Hits decrease Draw Time by 25% for 3 seconds. Buff is removed on stow.

Vorpal Weapon

Deals increased damage against Minibosses, Bosses, and Vehicles, as well as Players in their Super Ability. Damage increase by Ammo Type: • Primary Weapons: 20% [60%] • Special Weapons: 15% [20%] • Power Weapons: 10% [20%]

Opening Shot

Grants the following benefits for your first shot (of the burst): • 20 Aim Assist and 25 Range • 5% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 10% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth Special weapons only receive 50% of the benefits. Stats are rounded up. Firing the weapon prevents the perk from activating for 3 seconds.

Demolitionist

Weapon Kills grant 10% Grenade Ability Energy. Kills with Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Glaives, and Fusion Rifles grant 20%. Using your Grenade Ability refills the Magazine with a 3 second cooldown. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Sympathetic Arsenal

Passively grants 20 Reload Speed. Finishing a reload within 3.6 seconds of a Weapon Kill refills stowed weapons from reserves.

Firmly Planted

While Crouched: • 30 Handling and 20 Stability • -40% Accuracy Cone Size • -17% Accuracy Cone Growth • -80% horizontal Recoil Effects are halved on Fusion Rifles (decimals are rounded up).

Swashbuckler

Weapon Kills grant a Stack of 'Swashbuckler' for 4.5 seconds. Maximum of 5 Stacks. (Glaive) Melee Kills grant all 5 Stacks instantly. Damage increase at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks: 6.7% | 13.3% | 20% | 26.6% | 33.3% Stowing the weapon removes the buff.

Hip-Fire Grip

Grants the following benefits while hipfiring: • 25 Stability and 15 Aim Assist • 2.7° larger Precision Aim Cone Angle • 30% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 20% increased Aim Assist Falloff Distance • 20% increased Damage Falloff Distance The Damage Falloff increase does not apply to The Last Word, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Fusion Rifles. PvP-specific note: the Precision Aim Cone Angle increase essentially just allows you to hit Crits while aimed above or slightly to the side of the head. (This is already the default behavior of Submachine Guns, Sidearms, Bows, Machine Guns, and Linear Fusion Rifles so it does not affect them)

Unrelenting

Starts Health Regeneration and restores 65 HP upon reaching 100% Activation Progress with Weapon Kills within 5 seconds of each. Activation Progress by Enemy Rank: • Minor Combatants: 34% • Players: 67% • Elites, Minibosses, and Bosses: 100%
