IMO: Hero Formula - The roll is really nice, but this archetype of scout is a 24 karat nightmare to try to get kills with in PvP. You need a ton of crits, and most of the time, the target simply ducks for cover before you can finalize the transaction. The Palindrome - One of the best rolls possible for this gun. Since you can't roll rifled, Rangefinder, LitC on this gun, this is the most complete choice for beneficial perks; the only other contender would be Icarus, Rifled Barrel, and LitC, which is possible. The only negative: Sure Shot sights instead of True Sight. 44 Curtain Call - A great roll, particularly with Kneepads; Kneepads make this Buick feel more like a Cadallac. Reinforced Barrel may end up getting you killed though, since the recoil might make a follow-up shot or melee harder to land. Anton's Rule - People will disagree with me on this, but this archetype is one of the least consistent in PvP. It has a huge rate of fire, meaning the recoil can get out of hand and it's hard to maximize the shots per minute well. I'll take a decent Wormwood over a god rolled Anton's almost any day. Event Horizon - I love this roll (although I can't recall the scopes). Perfect Balance keeps you more on target for follow-ups, Hidden Hand adds to the already decent AA, and S&P makes downtime very minimal. If you need a good sniper setup, this is a great one to try out. Parthian Shot - Ah, the Parthian Shot...on paper, it looks like such a great choice. 2-bursts, huge range, massive flinch. In reality, the gun almost never lands the 2-burst kill, and it is abysmally bad in close range, forcing you to use a shotgun, fusion, or sidearm, often. I rate this gun as better at PvE than PvP, unless you can get high stability and Headseker to round out the 2-bursts a bit more often. Good roll, just a gun that I'm not sure I can recommend over a Nirwen's or Hopscotch. Angel's Advocate - Buy this gun if you like PvP scouts, hands down. It's one of the scouts in the Build-Your-Own-Mida-Kit archetype, and it's one of the most competitive in my opinion. I actually encourage Rodeo (for once), since it's function is to reduce the recoil in -any- direction by a flat percentage. Coupled with Hidden Hand and HLS, this thing will be super stupid and easy to use. The Waiting - Skip this roll. Before anyone screams, I have to say I don't like the way you are forced to choose between the much-needed stability boost, and Kneepads (arguably one of the best mechanical perks on a fusion). It's got a lot of great things, but the fact that you have to give some of them up for others is a turn-off for me. Accelerated coils is also a bummer, since it makes this a 5-bolt kill, rather than a 4. The Wounded - I want to love this gun every time I see one, and so far, I haven't. This is a really bouncy scout (almost Jade Rabbit level recoil, stock), and it required a great stability boost to be solid in PvP. I have some with nearly identical rolls, and it just doesn't hold up to some of my Cryptics and other past scouts. Good archetype, but the roll isn't there for PvP for me. The Wormwood - The reigning king of the sidearm court, the Wormwood has a great perk pool. This basically results in there being so few terrible rolls on them that most of them are pretty good. Think of this a Last Word you can carry in reserve, and you're about there. But with better range and stability. The perk combo is about the baseline of what makes a good sidearm, and it will serve you well. That being said, I'm sure most people are like me and have sharded about 30 nearly identical rolls in the last few months. Pick it up if you don't have a solid sidearm, pass if you do. Thanks for putting up a recommendations post, I hope I haven't offended too much by adding my 2 PvP cents.
