I really don't recommend electric mods on pretty much any weapon, but especially not on swords like this one. Electric damage does pretty much no damage to Infested, limited damage on Grineer, and is only really effective on Corpus.

Slashing weapons shine against the Infected, where you get bonus damage against everything but the ancients. While Fire damage is great against Infected, once again, it's of limited use against Grineer and Corpus. You only get so many mod slots, so why cripple yourself against 2/3rds of enemies, with either fire or lightning? You're best off having 1 mod giving Freeze damage, even better if it's a combo mod. Freeze works great against every enemy, as at the very least, it'll slow down the movement/attack speed of enemies you fight again, giving it both an offensive/defensive value. It does double damage against shields as well.
