Forthcoming Deviance god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

Forthcoming Deviance is a Raid-exclusive Glaive weapon that drops from Destiny 2 Salvation's Edge. This specific piece of gear is also the only weapon currently in the game that is of the Rapid Fire Framed Glaive archetype, and has the fastest TTK (time to kill) out of any Glaives available in the game. It has a base Impact of 55, alongside a Range of 52, which differs slightly from a Rapid Fire Framed Shotgun. Additionally, Forthcoming Deviance can deliver on the most important feature that any normal Glaive can, which is the shielding.

This article lists every perk required on the Forthcoming Deviance to amplify its potency in both offense and defense. The following perks will help you shape the weapon in a more balanced state. Note that Glaives got a 20% damage buff with The Final Shape expansion, and can be paired with Synthoceps' "melee damage buff" in all classes due to the implementation of Exotic Class Items.

Here is a list of perks recommended on the Forthcoming Deviance Glaive for PvE:

Ballistic Tuning (for increased Range on the weapon, alongside reduced shield duration and charge time)
Appended Mag (for increased magazine size)
Reconstruction (for auto-reloading up to a double capacity over time)
Close to Melee (for increased melee damage after kills with Glaive projectiles)

For a more elite and boss DPS approach, the combination of Replenishing Aegis and Chaos Reshaped is recommended. Forthcoming Deviance is a craftable weapon, so you can manually slot the perks, and enhance it further.
