At the end of the day, it just comes down to who you prefer to listen to. Their livelihoods literally depend on them streaming and/or making videos about the stuff they play.
For PVP, I think Cross slept on Perpetual Motion for this thing. +20 Stability, +20 Handling, +20 Reload simply for moving around the map. Perpetual Motion + Zen Moment is a really fantastic dueling roll.
NOT compared to any other hand cannon that has those stats without even needing those perk then either them on top or explosive payload eots or moving target or all of these S tier perks
Perpetual motion is great honestly. Usually takes the same amount of time to proc to get into a gunfight, so its almost always up. If the thing that worries you the most about a weapon is its base stats, then dont use it. Sure there are better weapons, but the farmability of this is literally just play crucible. It only costs 1 crucible engram to focus.
The nadir trait gives it the secret sauce in crucible. It’s awesome on controller. I like it better than austringer and rose. There’s something special with the recoil animation and the nadir focus origin trait.
I went and got one when TFS dropped, it worked perfectly for my prismatic warlock build. I got slice/hatchling w/range MW on my second engram with shaxx. I've enhanced it and have about 8k kills on it. This gun slappps
i was so lucky getting this, my 3rd drop on the first day of the season was hammer forged, accurized, moving target, explosive payload and a range master work.
With how deadly melee build are right now on prismatic, I think your'e really overlooking how good upgraded Swashbuckler is. Get one melee kill and you get 33% damage. Enhanced lasts 7 seconds.
most prismatic melee builds (and most prismatic builds in general) barely involve gunplay. plus why would i use a primary that, even perk buffed, does less damage than a random exotic primary
@@majormeatshield9558 there are like 20 legendaries i can think of that either do more damage OR provide more utility in a melee build OR both than better devils
Ngl cross, i saw you had 3 videos about the recent drama, and was actually afraid too watch them/sick of the topic. This was a good refresh to see. Thank you.
Impatiently waiting. 100% positive Bungie are saving it for a content drought or well, a time like now when players are upset with the way Devs have been treated etc.
Cross buddy, you actually sound burned out in this video. Most likely due to what's been happening lately across Bungie. If so just take it easy, and thanks for all your coverage lately.
I got one with slice/hatchling and I use it on my threadling build in the Pale Heart with that threadling perk... it's SO MUCH FUN, literally every kill spawns one.
I have a few pvp rolls that I really like. Full bore, accurized, perpetual motion, elemental capacitor(void), range mw. Makes it sit at a healthy 75 range and then nadir snow balls it into the 80's then perpetual and elemental juice up all the other stats to usable levels.(favorite roll and what I consider to be the true 5/5 god roll) Extended, accurized, perpetual, zen, range mw. Very consistent feeling, I'd probably want hammerforged but fixing the 88 recoil direction is welcome. Extended, accurized, moving target, elemental capacitor(void), range mw. Same case as the one above but it's very consistent feeling, just lackluster handling.
My favorite pve primary this season. Slice + Explosive payload for the free damage and enemy staggers, as well with slice making the enemies do nothing. Works perfectly on all my prismatic builds too.
@Aztecross You need to get the rewind Deconstruct roll on Ros Arago, it's infinite ammo. This combo is also on parabellum and Yarovit. As a warlock without actium I truly don't reload that gun when firing at 1 target
I still have my original Better Devils from vanilla D2, with a single Crucible kill on it. Glad to see that it has gotten a much-needed rework and is a fair option now even if it isn't outstanding.
In PvP a lot of the time with threadling and thread of rebirth I see 2-3 threadlings on precision kills. While I’m regaining health after winning an engagement they are hitting the next guy, helping my teammates, or push enemies back from that res in trials. I like it a lot. LoL Slice is another opportunity to make a tangle and nuke it with the artifact mod.
Better devils just had some sauce I can’t explain. It’s just hits I’ve been using it since it’s original D2 Explosive Payload roll and I’m just happy they brought it back
I love this HC and i´m using combos in PvP like Perpetual/Opening, Moving/Zen Moment, Perpetual/Explosive also i tried Perpetual/Zen moment and man... It feels like Luna in the end
I used one with Rapid Hit/Explosive Payload in the GM this morning and I was surprised how good it worked for me. Its not amazing but it's not terrible either.
I got like 3 copies and all are awesome god rolls. 1). Demo / Pugilist and Explosive payload / Threadlings / Adrenaline Junkie This thing is awesome for grenade/melee regen, since demo/pugilist and threadlings synergize. Explosive is always good. 2). Slice and one for all / threadlings Slice and One for all is nice. Cross did explain these perks on video sections. These perks have good synergy. Slice and Threadling does not work :( Still looking for better version of Slice but this is my best for now. 3). Hammer Forge / Accurize / Rapid hit / Threadlings and Range MW. This is my PVP Godroll. I chose Threadlings over Elemental Capacitor because I like threadlings appearing when I dome someone. I use Dexterity and Reload mods to compensate for these low stats and so those Rapid Hit. You can use Elemental Capacitor if you need more stats.
I see Hatchling as an easier version of Dragonfly. The damage is delayed, but easier to proc and not as dependent on enemy positioning. The rapid kills especially adds a good amount of cleanup waveclear that’s useful for any build that would get use out of Dragonfly.
I’ve honestly fallen in love with Better Devils in PvP since it’s probably one of the best feeling HCs on controller despite its stats. Landed a Rapid Hit/Swashbuckler roll and it’s been great to use
Man I got a somewhat nasty Strand build on my warlock and my goodness!! That treaded blast with my The Calll with splice and some of the strand mods is some of the most fun I've had in this game. I get a crit then shoot the little strand ball and just watch everything die lol. I pair it with Glance and a arc waveframe GL with volt shit lmao. I've ran a few Strikes and nightfalls even onslaught and I usually have the most kills and a shit ton of orbs created. It's GLORIOUS!! I know I could make it better somehow but I'm a casual so i dont know how to do so right now. My casual brain fails me sometimes 😂
Lets start off by saying this gun is definitely made for PvE, and it ie a buildcrafters dream. This is the only Strand gun with Demo/Swash. It may sound odd, but this is the only weapon aside from The Navigator that makes the Grapple grenade useful in PvE. With specifically Syntho Strand Titan, and Prismatic Syntho Hunter, it will give you Unraveling Rounds, 33% damage buff (58 with prismatic fragment that makes you Radiant), reload your weapon and give your Grapple back in about 5-6 kills (3-4 with Buried Bloodline Devour). You can even bump it up uf youre a lucky Prismatic Hunter, as the explanation above with the combo Foetracer/Syntho on the Exotic, will bring it to 83% damage buff. I sincerely put down double special a bit bc of this gun
Dang, the sorrow and pain of the bungie news just bleeds through the video with the voice recording you have here. Theres always hope man, not idn destiny but beyond.
@@daveyselby7346 It was, at least for me, one of those weapons that on paper should be fairly mid but "feels" amazing due to the small model and the deterministic recoil (I think these were the first weapons to get it?).
PVP without doubt it's damn good! PVE it feels fantastic but there's really no perks that really pick it up for meta builds. I was genuinely excited for perhaps that Slice x Hatchling combo Better Devils has. Major Bummer!
As much as I like Kept Confidence, its perk pool is so ass. They only lend themselves to PvP but the problem with that is that there are already top dog PvP hand cannons.
I have the same exact roll I use on my Hunter. I like it, but don't use it that much, I can't put the call away 😂 I don't have the luxury of buried bloodline, I swear the game hates me!
I wish they didnt shit on kept confidence with the rolls it was given. What would be dope of bungie is to look at all the existing craftable weapons and update/add newer or favored rolls.
Now I want to try a Slice weapon paired with my Renewal Cyrtarachne ECI build. Will that really decrease outgoing damage from bosses by 90% for damage phases?!
I've been trying to get slice and hatchling for so long. I focused like 30 crucible engrams and still nothing. I hate how many perks it has on each column...
I really like better devils, but not as much as i love the call. i can't put away the call to use better devils, some of us don't have buried bloodline!
