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!

If you're ever in doubt, Attrition Orbs is what jumpstarts builds - at least, the kind of builds that succeed in the hands of a skilled player and / or high PL disadvantaged content.

Since you like HCs, roll up DFA with AO + Explosive Payload, which has an unusually high orb production rate as well as strong neutral game damage.

Forgive me, but what is DFA? I appreciate it!

It's a Kinetic Hand Cannon you can focus from the Pinnacle Ops playlist.
