[2019] [PvE] Best DMG Weapon Roll

So u/DzhoArisu started a Guide to compare weapon dmg against riven. The conclusion was, that Heavy Grenade Launchers with Spike nades do the most dmg. Based on this information, I wanted to know what rolls would (theoretically) increase the dmg even further to a MAX. I can't test this on Riven, because i only got 3 outta 4 required perks on my best launcher (Velocity/Spike/Fieldprep).

I came up with this build

including the weapons which can roll it.

Sitenote: The full GodRoll can only be achieved by Doomsday, which is the only GL that can roll the new perk FullCourt.

Reasoning for every perk:

1. Velocity Masterwork - Increases impact dmg.
2. Hard Launch - Increases Velocity even more and decreases BlastRadius.
3. Spike Nades - 50% Buff on impact dmg.
4. Field Prep - One more shot in reserves.

The Ratio between Velocity and BlastRadius determines the balance between impact and explosion dmg. Spike Nades buff impact dmg by 50% so I try to get my Velocity as high as possible and my BlastRadius as low as possible.

Doomsday is a exception since it can roll with FullCourt, which buffs explosion dmg for 25%. So for this launcher it could be better to go for more BlastRadius instead of Velocity.

But if you get a launcher with all the other perks and Velocity Masterwork, please for the Love of God keep that gun and lock it down, because you have propably the strongest weapon for melting in your hands.

TL:DR: Get this build

and melt every boss in 10 seconds.

EDIT: I made a second build just for the Doomsday based around BlastRadius to get max value out of FullCourt. In theory this should be the best of the best

and do even more dmg than the Spike-Velocity build.
