Why do we use?
[Mag] Progen to combine with innate Viral for debuffs
[Volatile Variant] causes barbs to explode instantly and repeatedly on punch through hits. VV gives this weapon 3 meters of punch through and extra status chance.
Crux for a massive boost to status chance and ammo efficiency allowing us to stack tons of fire rate and solves long reloads / low [Mag] issues
Vile Accel – Though it isn't listed, VV already gives us punch through so we can spec free into accel.
Aptitude? — After more time using [Sporothrix], Radial Damage just isnt impactful enough to consider anywhing over Aptitude direct hits. Anything you actually want dead you will be aiming direct to kill anyways. Also gives significant chance.
RR / TR? – Dual status blast, Sporo has innate viral making this one of the very few weapons that can use Viral / Blast combo. Remember: Blast is PHYSICAL damage, so it does not care about elemental bonuses beyond weight and chance to proc, which is why we use 60/60
Elementalist – Multiplicative blast damage
Bane – Default faction bonus, applies a second time to blast explosions.
