Between Retraced Path (adaptive/perpetual, incan/demo) or acasias dejection (recon/rewind, incan) which is better for SFP wellock

#

Just wondering if I should spend time leveling my acasias or if I should just use retraced

#

Given the SFP nerf demolitionist might actually be an important perk, but the first column options for retraced are lackluster

#

It does get stl and subsistence but idfk

#

Help me out in understanding this

i dunno much tbh about this but if you're doing anything with trace rifles im pretty sure the only one you should trust is agres sceptre the rest are seemingly considered much worse although i cant say

#

much due to cold heart and agres sceptre being the only trace rifles i own so im just going off of what ive been told

#

I want one of the legendary Solar traces so I can run double special on SFP wellock

#

Why does this entire thread have such bad takes

merry berry
#

Agers scepter for the primary slot, since there is no legendary

#

and all the exotics for the energy slot are garbage, prometheus lens is a bit better though due to the catalyst

#

trace rifles are basically primaries

#

The 2 good ones are hollowed denial and retraced path

#

the god roll for retraced path is subsistence and incandesant, basically a better prometheus lens before it got buffed

#

you dont have subsitence though

#

so run acasias disjunction

#

since it has a better roll

#

but tbh it comes down to personal preference

#

more damage than your average trace like hollow denial

#

and it’s pretty much permanent with the current orb meta

#

infinite volatile too

merry berry
#

ok and hollow denial doesnt give infinite volatile?

#

the extra damage isnt that good

#

I would much rather save the exotic slot for witherhoard

#

or something fun like conditional finality

#

and the damage hollow denial has isnt bad either

#

if I want to chunk champions im using witherhoard + my nades

#

and wavesplitters overcharged mode doesnt chunk champions that hard either

#

sometimes it’s good just to put a blinding gl in kinetic

#

isn’t demo same slot as incandescent

#

honestly i would prefer the latter even after nerf

ancient scarab
#

But the nerf is 75%, 20% grenade energy on hit down to 5%, without demo you’ll basically not have grenades

#

Plus that frees up the third slot to run a non-reload mod like adaptive munitions

#

Acasias outclasses it purely on an incan in fourth slot basis

#

But it doesn’t get demo while retraced does and I think that’ll be a more critical perk in the coming months post SFP nerf
