[2022] Disclaimer: Do not let content creators dictate you what you should craft as your god roll. The point of crafting is to create a personal weapon to personal taste, not to copy RNG god roll system.

I know that it is obvious, but for New Lights out there - this system allows you to have god roll out of anything that you'd like. It is your choice and crafting is there for you to make it, it is not like with rng weapons till now where you had to keep anything remotely "good" because you had no other option.

I for instance reshaped my glaive enigma with strong focus on faster projectiles and reload speed, because it was abyssmal whenever I needed to reload and was trapped in between enemies. Also I invested into Unrelenting perk to boost my survival on close range.

It was my personal choice and it is working well for me, it really is a great feeling.

EDIT: I want to add that I do not think that content creators are overall bad for the community, they are still important source of references and tips on how the game works, and it is nothing bad to watch their videos to gain some knowledge. I just don't want people to feel like they "must" choose certain perks while crafting to have a decent weapon at all.

Browsing youtube videos/recommendation threads for ideas is always recommended on my part, but getting hands-on is always required for the best decisions as you start to craft your weapons.

Sometimes you'll get incredibly prescriptive players who define a single roll to hunt, other times you'll get a list of good perk combos and things to try out. I wouldn't discount a "you must get this gun" video based on the title - but I'd try to listen for specific strengths and weaknesses of the weapons as the creator talks through it.

I'm enjoying some of the deepsight weapons I've been getting as they're pushing me to use weapons I may have just dismantled in the past, leading to some nice discoveries of "oh wait, this combo actually isn't half bad!" (and yes, we see the feedback on crafting - don't take this as a spin saying every deepsight weapon is perfectly rolled!!)

All in all, try what you're comfortable with. Not every player rushes constantly. Not every player sits back to plink away at enemies from range. Find your personal sweet spot and have fun with perk combos that work for you.
