WARFRAME builder is using some kind of strange equations. Here are some actual in-game values I found, sorry if this is a bit long. Assumed all mods are maximum rank. Entropy +20 base Multi-shot: (base (+ entropy, if applicable)) * 1.9 = 4.7 or 38.4 (actual value with Entropy) Event mods 60% Base Status: 2.5 Base with Event mod: 4 Total gain: 1.5 Expected 1.5 Base with Multi-shot: 4.7 Above with Event: 7.8 Total gain: 2.8 Expected 2.82 (rounded after 1 place) Base with Entropy: 22.5 Above with Event: 24 Total gain: 1.5 Expected: 36 Expected gain: 13.5 Note: 60% gain only applies to base Now, here is where things get really wacky… Base with Entropy and Multi-shot: 38.4 Expected: 42.75 (=22.5*1.9) Base with Entropy and Multi-shot and Event: 40.6 Total Gain from event mod: 2.2 Expected Gain from event mod: 23.04 (based on in-game value) -or- 25.65 (based on my math) Clearly there is something strange going on with the math here. Honestly, I would not believe that this rifle would have all off the status applications without SOME kind of diminishing return, but honestly…I did not expect this much of a penalty. As you add event mods you only gain 2.2 status chance PER every 60 percent. Another interesting thing is that removing Entropy makes each event mod add 2.8% status chance with only Multi-shot equipped. Final analysis based on in-game values: Base + Entropy + Multi-shot + 3 event mods at 60% = 45% status chance. My math (without diminishing returns) puts the status of this rifle at over 100%. For the amount of work this rifle takes (around 4 forma), syndicate only mod and the very long reload, I find that this is very disheartening. I would expect this weapon to plateau maybe around 85-90% status chance. Without some kind of change to the reload time (something around 2-3 seconds), I have a hard time justifying this weapon even though it is one of the most visually appealing weapons to me in the game along with the boltor and strun, but that may just be because I am a little prejudice.
