Build Details
The main allure of this build is the massive damage stacking that Hand Cannons can achieve with Lucky Pants. This exotic can build up to a 600% damage bonus after 10 stacks are built up from landing Hand Cannon precision shots. Potential pairings are Malfeasance, Crimson, and Sunshot. Malfeasance is best for boss damage, Crimson is a hybrid of boss damage and add clearing, and Sunshot is best for add clearing and has the benefit of resetting Restoration and Radiant timers by swapping to Ember of Empyrean and Ember of Mercy for Firesprite creation.
Further damage stacking is build up with Ember of Torches which gives a 25% bonus after a melee hit. Weapon Surge mods will also increase damage, so equip as many as possible, maxing out at a 22% bonus for 3 mods. Hand Cannon uptime is increased with Marksman's Dodge which will reload your weapon, Marksman's Dodge's cooldown is improved with Ember of Singeing which gives a 300% class ability cooldown buff when scorching a target.

- All enemies - 967%
