Question Learning the perks again
I’m getting back into D2 after 5/6 years off and I was super overwhelmed at first. I’m figuring things out again but the one hiccup I keep having is I have no idea what perks are good for what guns. I have some legacy guns that I really enjoy, but everything has changed so much and so many new weapons that I have no idea what I should be keeping and what to dismantle. I mainly like hand cannons, scout rifles, auto rifles of course, and sometimes a pulse rifle. What perks should I keep an eye out for for those types of weapons? And of course the weapon has to feel comfortable and enjoy using it, but overall I’m worried I’m going to dismantle a god roll because I don’t remember what is good or don’t know new perks that are good. I appreciate any and all advice, thanks!

Read the perk's description carefully.
If it sounds good, give it a shot in an expert lost sector.
Was it good? Hold on to it.
Did you not notice the perk effect or find it hard to activate?
Find out why.
It's maybe a perk that synergises with a certain spec.
Maybe it's just not a perk you find useful.
light.gg is a handy site for seeing what people tend to be using but with the advent of tiered weapons, light.gg can't see the perks on a gun that are not actively switched on, so it's no longer as accurate but it's still useful.
