For a Paralysis build: Vigor in Place of Fleeting Expertise or Fast Deflection would be nice. Also if only looking to deal Paralysis damage ... Prolonged Paralysis works as a decent stun..since stun duration is based on Power Strenght, which you have maxxed. Or slot Rage or low ranked Quick-Thinking

Raksa Kubrow With Protect would be ideal (or Sentinel with Guardian) can be paired with Shield Osprey Specter. Extra normal shields can be had if paired with Sequence Syndicate effect.

Overshields (Large Restores) are a better way to boost Paralysis Damage without using Mod Slots that scale off Valky's absymally low base shields. Overshields will always add a max of 1200 Shielda to be used for Paralysis damage calculations. 1200 from a single gear slot as opposed to 280 Shields from both Max Redirection + Max Vigor.

Overshields allows for Max Powerstrength build to be focused on something else, allowing for a more diverse build. Either slotting some Augments or possibly slotting a Continuity/Constitution mod and /or Eternal War to have both a Useful WarCry + Paralysis damage build.

As for the diminishing damage over distance....it seems to deal full damage over the area of effect but the knockback force(possible ragdoll damage) is heavily reduced over distance.

Just as a quick comparison or level 29/30 damage-wise: 430 Shields with 284% Power Strength is 2137 non-headshot damage. (Max Redirection + Max Vigor)

1630 Shields with 284% Power Strength is 8101 non-headshot damage (Max Redirection + Max Vigor + Max Overshielda)

1350 Shield with 284% Power Atrength is 6710 non-headshot damage (Max Overshields)

So Overshields are more than 3 timea stronger than slotting Redirection + Vigor and only a 2k deficit if looking at Overahields + Redirection+ Vigor. But that frees up two mod slots for something else.

Efficiency is not needed for Paralysis as Max Blind Rage raises Parakysis coat from 5 to 8~ish power cost.
