The Prophet god roll is WAY BETTER than they say

0:00 - The Prophet Scout Rifle
1:11 - The Prophet STATS
3:23 - The Prophet DAMAGE PERKS
6:49 - The Prophet UTILITY PERKS
8:46 - The Prophet PvP GOD ROLL
I've never liked Aggressive Frame Scout Rifles in #destiny2 , not dead man's tale, NOTHING. The Prophet changed my mind on it. I am pumped for an Adept roll and I am absolutely hunting that Discord Cascade Point roll. I have a feeling it will become another one of those constant rotation weapons I keep in my pocket for larger maps.

I swear people keep dogging on this scout bc of its hipfire. It’s not an exotic, it’s a legendary scout. Leave the hipfire capabilities for guns that are purposely designed for that (last word, DMT’s catalyst, Tommy’s matchbook)

[@st0nedpenguin]

A great argument if Bungie wasn't literally leaning into the hipfire role for these weapons while also making the hipfire garbage.

[@BombStars]

@@st0nedpenguin yeah it is a bummer, but people also forget that Tex mechanica is also made for perk combos that shouldn’t exist but do: like the two burst sidearm with desperado. This scout with kill clip is pretty cool.

[@Legoleflash]

Yup. The perks are totally a trap with it. Unfortunate

[@incendiarypoprocks8700]

Crazy how you can build 100% into it and it’s still trash. Biggest complaint about a lot of guns, that the background tuning on accuracy and bloom and hipfire headshot/bodyshot preference can hurt guns this much even stacking all these perks.

[@BombStars]

@@incendiarypoprocks8700 maybe the enhanced perks will help it a lot.

[@st0nedpenguin]

Bungie: Here's a whole bunch of perks based around hipfire. Also Bungie: They're not gonna make hipfire viable though.

[@Legoleflash]

I know right? What a trick 😅

[@tybrunz]

Bahaha

[@rainbowhippos9035]

Average keyboard and mouse last word experience

[@spzm3665]

Youd figure with the hand holding of bullets bending and hitting targets for you they wouldnt mind

[@st0nedpenguin]

@@Legoleflash I can understand why they did it but I think the big mistake Bungie made was putting hipfire perks on weapons with long ranges. If they'd stuck to say sidearms and shotguns they could make the hipfire perks actually good because they'd be limited by range. Right now the perks kinda have to be mediocre because otherwise we'd have an even better version of DMT mapping people with hipfire.

[@grantgore1035]

You’re the only reason I’ve been saving taraxapos’ and they have cascade point

[@xAbsynthex]

You know, in your Summoner video, someone asked in the comments how you felt about this weapon and how they had a Cascade roll, and your response, if I can recall correctly, was almost exactly “oh I have some things to say about THAT”. And ever since that comment, I kept a Cascade roll sitting in my post, waiting for this video

[@JizzSock_]

Yeah, that was me.

[@lucaseureka2998]

Rapid it Cade point is nice

[@SY-mo2rs]

This scout is better than expected but I found it to be hard countered by other popular scouts like Jade and BB hung Jury. Been rocking the keep away kill clip roll

[@theveryamericaneagle3657]

Get precision hit on it as well thank me later :)

[@arjunbaweja7755]

Jade does get countered by this with cascade

[@huegofarley4684]

Just finished farming and finally got the discord cascade roll! Excited to try it out next trials

[@ladynocturne]

great review as always! my first adept drop was keep away kill clip. i've put a few hundred kills into it in supremacy and i'm hooked. and as it turns out, after watching this video it turns out my roll is your 5/5 :D

[@ryanhinson7329]

The roll on my adept that I love using is small bore flared mag keep away and kill clip with stability masterwork which just feels great in trials and is perfect for the lane on jav 4 this weekend

[@DermyOP]

the issue i have with cascade point is the fact that my other weapon im using is usually a different range. like if im using a sidearm or shotgun and im in the thick of it, proc my scout rifle perk at close range is foolish. the discord cascade roll was the first i got and personally didn't like it on tarax either. but i respect you for giving your own personal god roll that you've used and not just picking the general consensus as always.

[@0DeathTheKid15]

Its my fun loadout this week. I use it with trinity Ghoul. One Headshot counts as three hits. With a Bow that activates Cascade Point. I use it on Hunter with Speedloader Slacks for the good old Bow swap. People dont expect to be hit with a Bow and instantly die from the "Long Word". Is it competative? NO. One missed Headshot ruins the build and most AR's kill you faster than you can swap, but its fun and get some kills.

[@jinxcustomcontrollers]

Can not wait for an updated fusion list!!!!! Love the info

[@Legoleflash]

Appreciate it! Definitely on the radar

[@jinxcustomcontrollers]

I’ve had great results with the IB strand fusion. I’ve seen an increase of high impact frames lately but those don’t jive for my play style.

[@brandsdiggity]

I’ve been using my small bore/ accurized rounds/Outlaw/Headstone adept roll with reload masterwork in both PvE and PvP and I have been pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t that big of a fan of DMT and really I’m still not, but this gun got me liking this frame type. Throw on the adept stability mod and let it rip! Now I am going to be looking for your god roll and see how I like it. Game play looks like a blast!

[@fluffyfingersmd]

Great video, thanks man

[@itsroost3846]

wicked stuff Lego i like that you referred it to the Last word Its fun to see where Trials Is taking us, Gonna give killclip ago with Bakris that sounds fun

[@golddagger1276]

Rapid and cascade is a really good roll as well because the scout by itself is good so I like rapid hit when I’m just sing the gun but having cascade point was icing on the top when I swap from my summoner after a kill.

[@moagmesmerize6986]

Thanks for clearing things up, especially with whole hip fire thing.

[@Legoleflash]

Yeah that’s the part I hope I emphasized the most. It brings the most disappointment for sure.

[@skuirrelTV]

Love your vids!

[@pjdvd24]

I really feel like one quiet moment proc's more than you think and is great on this archetype with the slow reload.

[@gabodee]

The roll that I got and went with was rapid Hit precision instrument and kill clip in the other slot. Precision instrument really helps when it comes to peak shotting. And enemies dipping in and out of cover alternating who's shooting. It happened multiple occasions where I was ramping up. Damage doing over a 100 damage per head shot with the amount of precision hits. I was getting against OS Titans and Stag Warlock. It has a place in 3s and that's what I mostly play.

[@jacob7927]

I found this video long after I settled on my discord Cascade point roll. It's such and incredible roll with trespassers and bakris, or just on its own

[@Boorph]

I've been running a Arrowhead Break/Accurized Rounds/Rapid Hit/Cascade Point and have been having a lot of fun with it

[@Verticas]

honourable mention with the icefall mantle and kill clip combo, icefall also gives stasis surge bonus.

[@gommyboi380]

You can run rapid hit+precision instrument to get an even shittier version of pre change dmt

[@dukestarfighter]

I actually played against you while you were trying the hip fire perks a week or so ago. Don’t remember the outcome of the match but yeah I think I caught you a few times. I was hoping that perk combo would be nice but disappointed to hear it doesn’t

[@nicklaszzzz]

I got ONE drop the first weekend it was availible and it was Enlightened Action + Kill clip. Mine has reload masterwork, which actually feels insane with alloy mag and one quiet moment

[@halocheckup5399]

Can you look into scalar potential? Feel like its a real sleeper in this over shield meta with Under-Over

[@mikehoncho5326]

I have an adept version with fluted/hammer forged, accurized, keep away and kill clip. As soon as I realized hip fire was trash on this I really started to enjoy using it

[@KryptidShadow]

I use it with my stasis hunter build. Got a precision instrument/cascade keep away role. I love it and ive been seeing alot of others swap to theirs after getting beaten by it. Including dmt! I use it with bakris and trespasser for those being too aggressive. It can 2 crit 1 body. And with precision the headshot goes up to like 105-107. Consistently hitting 90 at long range

[@tenacity25]

I saw cascade on this thing and wanted it day 1. So fun

[@AceInTheSpade]

I've tried to like these 120 scouts they just are not for me outside of DMT. Maybe I just need more time to adjust? Idk, but I did get one with kill clip, enlightened action, flared magwell, fullbore/extended barrel, and a reload masterwork.

[@kenrocker7427]

I knew this was going to be a cascade video!

[@Legoleflash]

Haha had to! 😉

[@OsamonGaming]

In the low special ammo sandbox I find myself having to hipfire in clutch situations, so I like hipfire grip. Plus you can enhance it in the future

[@Legoleflash]

That’s a good point on the enhanced version. Will probably make a pretty big difference

[@ICannotBelieveIAmHere]

I got a Demo/Headstone roll for PvE and sort of dipped from Trials after that. I wasn't sold on the weapon for PvP but perhaps I just need a god roll to try out.

[@Based_Shogun]

Got the discord harmony roll and when it procs, it's really fun.... But I'm not really good enough to utilize it often.

[@1BITfuerGamer]

Keep a precision instrument roll, people. We will be able to enhance it retroactively in final shape, and if im pretty sure that slight increase in dmg allows for a 2 tap on all resils after a 3 crit kill on first target, as well as serving to counteract overshields.

[@danielvigario3477]

about the "cascade is a special weapon perk", just wanted to add that its also cracked on bows

[@InTheZone85]

if you run any form of a sidearm or smg just run cascade on your other gun. Tarax + out of bounds smg (or any smg/sidearm) made me a believer in this perk. Out of bounds rolls with harmony, was literally getting some shots in with the smg and was ready to chain.

[@thekingfin8171]

The prophet with rapid hit kill clip on Titan icefall mantle Reaper 3 surge mods and stasis siphon is a damage monster hitting 122 to the head normally I don't run siphon in pvp but this thing gets multi kills so fast once you get this flow going this is MDT and I love it

Handed in my card earlier today, I sadly cannot be bothered to grind a cascade point roll, I just have to hope one of my 6 godrolls just happens to have cascade point in the extra perk slot I also find that keep away on this gun is completely useless. It’s a *scout rifle* it has a lot of range already, I just feel outlaw or the other perks offer so much more.

[@_BELMONT_]

Fantastic!

[@TheMrMayo]

I had wondered if The Prophet had been one of the lucky weapons to be made more exclusive towards PvP, and I'm surprised to be correct after you stated to not go for any of the PvE perks. After having listened to your love between the recommended perks, you sold me in thinking that Bungie had done right with this one. And I would be lying if I said the Osiris-eye aesthetic didn't look better on this Tex Mechanica scout. Side note: I don't suppose there would be a proper way to send you some honest questions other than KZbin's comment section, because I don't know how awkward it would be to ask five-or-so questions to you, knowing you're probably busy making new videos and scoring kills out there. As always, Cheers for the dedication you take to making these videos, and know that you've got me hooked on thinking about getting this scout and a Summoner roll sometime next week (when I feel ready to face my fears)! I legit really want that auto for more reasons that I'd like to admit!

[@anthonycassola4241]

I got hipfire and offhand on my adept roll. Typical. I did get cascade as a secondary perk. So perhaps when its ehancable, hipfire cascade will be good.

Hey gg! That’s awesome! Was cool to get a game with ya!

[@GroundbreakGames]

Rolled 3 the other night and got a keep away / kill clip / range mw. This thing is crazy. Also, the reason to take the headstone roll in to pve is simple. To practice for pvp. :P

[@ReekieVR]

What roll are you running on your Heliocentric dude?

[@life-destiny1196]

The point of Precision Instrument on Prophet is to 3tap overshield titans; Prophet does something like 273 in three headshots, so just needs that tiny bit of help

[@Legoleflash]

Yeah, I could have mentioned this. I think I just would really like to avoid using this scout at base.

[@Voidova]

That's the main point, yeah. But it is possible to 2-tap with Precision Instrument but it's not reliable. You need to get to stack 4 first and then the 5th and 6th shot let's you 2-tap although I'm not sure at what resilience.

[@Blackhart-7]

It's the red dot, it's so fricking clean and feels so accurate

[@viviciuszn]

Future enhanced hipfire grip does change things or nah?

[@IggyMidomi]

I hear that Enhanced Hip-Fire Grip is noticeably better than regular Hip-Fire Grip. I don’t know if it would save the viability of hip-firing The Prophet, but I would save a roll with Hip-Fire Grip for when Final Shape drops, and we can retroactively enhance perks on The Prophet. It’d be worth testing it one more time.

[@pelikanvernichter]

Will it work on normal guns or only adept?

Also can't recommend reload scaling perks on this gun enough, I run double loader on my gauntlets. I actively slam bullets into this thing as I'm firing. People do not expect it!

I'm a little dissapointed that it's another kinetic 120. I've been using DMT constantly since it first came out and I really want something similar in the energy slot, but I don't own the dungeon pass. I'm still getting a few Prophet rolls but most likely I will stick to my DMT. It with a sidearm was my go to pvp build before the sandbox changes. Now I've been trying it out with glaives, mostly Enigma or my max range Unexpected Resurgence. Glaives feel a lot more useful in this new meta than they did before.

just a PSA, dont give up on hipfire if you are on M&K. if explosive payload ever gets fixed to not need 3 crits against 10 resil, it activates the origin trait in 2 shots. combined with the gun getting enhanced hipfire in the future, I suspect it will be quite strong when that happens. so if you play M&K and get hipfire + explosive, just keep it around until final shape and see how it performs. also with all the complaints of how poor the hipfire is on this weapon, i can see scouts getting a specific buff to hip accuracy.
