  Cataclysmic is a precision linear fusion rifle, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic for "total damage standout, notable for solo due to less reliance on reload/Div vs. A499 and Particle access". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Barrier, and a ×0.9 reduction in horizontal recoil as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are good by comparison with its peers - you can see them at https://destiny.report/w/999767358/cataclysmic and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/999767358will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. With precision frames, you need to worry less about recoil control so look to improve Handling or maybe Stability. As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Ionized Battery in the battery perk slot gets you the maximum of 7 shots. For sustained boss damage, in the first trait perk column, Fourth Time's the Charm generates 2 shots from thin air after 4 crits within 2s (3s when enhanced) of each other - that's 10 shots from a battery of 6, or 11 from a battery of 7, with 4 of them free. In the second column, for damage on a Prismatic build, Elemental Honing grants an escalating stack of damage up to an max ×1.35 for 20s (23s when enhanced) for each elemental damage type inflicted, which can be refreshed with a new damage type until you've run through all 5, or or Aggregate Charge provides a stack for each different elemental debuff up to ×3 stacks to boost damage by a max ×1.3 (×1.33 when enhanced), with each stack lasting as long as the debuff is active. The Souldrinker origin trait restores up to +50HP on reload, depending on the proportion of the magazine landed as hits. If you're interested, community consensus is that the Vow of the Disciple raid's weapon shapes such as "Fatal", referenced in the flavour text, represent stages in the Witness's and Rhulk's philosophy regarding the universe. Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Charge Time mod or your preferred choice to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.
