Her Mercy: your suggested rolls?

Got this baby yesterday for my Hunter, and it handles extremely well. Even at base lvl without upgrades, the range+target acquisition+impact work extremely well. After many re-rolls I ran out of weapon parts and my Mercy now has: -Triple Tap - Hidden Hand - Small Bore (extra stability and range, at the cost of less reload speed). This would result in a gun with a great reach and high chance of critical hits, which in turn would compensate the relatively small mag that the gun has. It would be a reasonable option for PVP and PVE alike. Plus, since I always go Gunslinger with my Hunter, the Chain of Woe ability would compensate for the slower reload. However, I was kinda hoping to get perks like Crowd Control (an absolute beast for PVE- once you pop, there´s no stop) or Luck in the Chamber (since the gun has few bullets, the chance of getting the magic bullet is quite high). I think my roll is not bad, but I may try to re-roll it later on. What do you guys think would be the most desirable rolls for the gun, and why? PS: Her Mercy is a legendary-grade Hand Cannon that drops from the big chest at the end of PoE.

    As a self proclaimed hand cannon expert I can tell you this. Her Mercy is a good weapon, it will get you by most of the games content. Some dudes even use it for PvP under certain roles cause it has 4 more range than Red Hand IX. It also looks cool, it has a number of things going for it. But the thing is, there are better Hand Cannons. Namely if you don't want the generic Fatebringer response. You got The Fulcrum, Red Hand IX, The Jewel of Osiris, Lord High Fixer and The Devil You Know. Out of all these weapons, The Fulcrum has THE best overall stats of any hand cannon of its subtype in the game, even Hawkmoon. The only thing holding it back is no elemental damage. Now, some people will say that the 8 round magazine is a downer. But it actually works beautifully with the perks Final Round and Luck in the Chamber, you can further increase the odds by adding Smallbore further increasing its stats but not really any downside. The Fulcrum has a ridiculous base reload speed for a hand cannon, using Smallbore will put it at the reload speed of Hawkmoon. Which is still pretty good, so you get the increased range and stabilty, 7 rounds in the magazine with Luck in the Chamber and Final round. This makes it have more damage per shot than Hawkmoon on average. To anyone reading this, The Fulcrum is really that good. Be sure to pick one up before it leaves the vendors because I am not sure a Hand cannon this good is going to be released any time soon. And no, I am not comparing this weapon to Thorn that is the exception. Overall for PvP Thorns subtype of handcannon is generally worse for PvP. And Timur's Lash' variant really is up for debate, people usually prefer the variant first given to The Devil You Know, Fatebringer, Lord High Fixer, The Fulcrum etc for PvP. Here is a list of stats of all the favorite guns in that subtype. http://www.destinydb.com/items/3378827888-the-fulcrum http://www.destinydb.com/items/120524974-jewel-of-osiris http://www.destinydb.com/items/3667595457-her-mercy http://www.destinydb.com/items/3164616407-hawkmoon http://www.destinydb.com/items/3259091099-red-hand-ix http://www.destinydb.com/items/335341128-lord-high-fixer http://www.destinydb.com/items/879791779-the-devil-you-know
