  Seventh Seraph SAW is a high-impact LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "highest total damage without losing that much DPS, also stagger intrinsic". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Unstoppable, ×0.8 accuracy cone size and ×0.83 accuracy cone growth when moving 2.8m/s or less (crouch walking speed) as per the Destiny Data Compendium. The recoil direction is left but pretty tight so you could improve recoil control or look to boost Stability with the barrel perk to help hit crits, or Handling if you can land your shots. In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve Reload Speed or mag size work best for a boss damage roll. For sustained damage against bosses with Arc builds, in the first trait perk column Trickle Charge refills 10% of the magazine on receiving a stack of Arc Bolt Charge, and 20% when you discharge with a lightning bolt on a target - excellent sitting behind a Storm's Keep rally barricade - or Supercharged Magazine refills 5% of the magazine every 1.5s while you're Amplified or, after you sprint when Amplified to gain Speed Booster this accelerates to 5% every 0.25s while the buff is active, overflowing the magazine to up to ×2 capacity. In the second column for both target and AoE damage, Jolting Feedback applies Arc Jolt after 14 hits (11 when Amplified) to tougher enemies who can survive the weapon damage, triggering chain lightning, or Rolling Storm generates ×1 stack of Arc Bolt Charge (×2 Amplified) on a kill, to trigger a lightning bolt at ×10 stacks. Aegis ranks the Eyes Up origin trait as A-Tier, although the procs are a bit inconsistent, it grants up to ×15 stacks to improve Range, Reload Speed and boost damage by a max ×1.05 after a kill when in combat for a 8s, extendable to 25s on further kills. Otherwise, the C-Tier Rasputin's Arsenal refills 60% of your magazine on breaking an enemy shield or barrier. If you're interested, the name blends real-world military nomenclature (SAW stands for Squad Automatic Weapon) with Bungie's deep-rooted obsession with religious symbolism and the number seven. In Christian theology, Seraphim are the highest order of angels who sit directly at the throne of God, traditionally described as celestial beings of pure fire with six wings. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.
