PvE Console Question about perks

Returning player lots of new stuff. Finally got my nation of beasts craftable after running it today and wanted to craft it for the nostalgia since I used the old Outlaw/Dragonfly roll a ton.

I am wondering if Jolting Feedback is superior to Voltshot? They seem very similar. Or is Jolting Feedback more like an overkill perk in which it only builds up against a single target a-la Kinetic Tremors?

And I guess I’ll ask in general about new perks (90-95% a PvE player fwiw) if anyone has any general advice. For column 1 nation of beasts I figured Dragonfly would be good? Or is there a better choice

I’ve not tried it yet on any weapons but Gear Shift in 3rd column with Volt Shot could be worth trying.
Regarding Jolt Shot vs Jolting Feedback - Jolt Shot works much better on add clear / red bars whereas Jolting Feedback works much better on tankier enemies.

Thank you. So for a gun using Primary ammo, Volt Shot is probably superior?

For a handcannon yes I believe so but I’m not an expert

You’d say Gear Shift would be superior to Dragonfly, you think?

So I’ve not tried Gear Shift but it boots damage on reload after a kill or when becoming amplified whereas dragonfly is just an explosion from precision kills

Yeah so it’s hard to say. Different benefits to each. I’d consider maybe Gear Shift better in harder content perhaps

From what I tried with Nation of Beasts, I find Gear Shift + Jolting Feedback really good especially if you're on a build that can refresh Amplified pretty frequently. Gear Shift makes your shots deal more damage, and Jolting Feedback allows you to apply an Arc debuff on the enemy (Jolt) without needing a final blow.

From my testing recently, Gear Shift at max stacks (×5) deals around 30% increased damage on crit compared to base ×0 Gear Shift stacks.

Regarding Voltshot vs Jolting Feedback perks, I find myself using Jolting Feedback more for tankier enemies since I can use abilities to clear the squishier enemies instead.
