Damage\Crit(on crit-base weapons)>AP\Fire>Multishot>Frost

Damage increases all damage, so is a general modifier

Crit is crucial for weapons with crit build, as it makes the damage much, much higher, which is then incredibly multiplied by other mods(damage, MS). Examples - Soma, Dual Ichor.

AP - best scaling mod, but if you are going against infested and can aim yourself - fire will usually bring more damage to most races.

Multishot - second general damage modifier, simply makes you shoot 2 projectiles most of the time with all the effects.

Frost - decent for dealing with shields and CC, it's only better than Electricity because it's also useful against corpus and it brings CC for other races, unlike Electricity(or well, nothing fire can't do).

Most of the time on primary weapon your setup will look this way:

Usual weapons: General modifier(damage-MS),Damage Mods(all 4(hellfire or Wildfire, depending on weapon)), 2 Utility mods(crit(if weapon has at least 10% crit\200% crit damage), reload\Wildfire\fire rate)

Crit weapons: General modifier(damage-MS), Crit(Point Strike, Vital Sense, Hammer Shot), Wildfire\Hellfire-Cryo Rounds-Piercing Hit

For secondary - 4 basic mods: Damage, MS, Lethal Torrent, No Return. Must have on any gun. Elemental damage may be 3 elemental mods+-Ice Storm. Crit mods: DeepFreeze\Ice Storm, Heated Charge+ crit chance\damage.

Melee:

Charge build: damage, AP Rending+Sundering Strike, Charged Strike, Molten Impact, North Wind, Killing Blow, Fury. North Wind can be changed to Reach, if your weapon has problems with range(non-orthos heavy), but generally you want to dice 3000+ AoE 0.5s charged slashes.

Hack'n'Slash build: damage, Sundering Strike, Charged Strike, Reach, Molten Impact, 2x crit, Fury\Berserker. Reach is good to be sure to slice the most, but you may take second speed mod(althogh one, especially berserker with crit-weapon is more than enough). North Wind may be good to make slicers universally modified, but still is the weakest link. Even if you have a non-crit weapon, with fast attacks there is a good chance you will proc a crit sooner or later, and making this crit stronger is better than North Wind.
