I agree and think that DE should seriously consider a full rebalancing of the assorted modules, and polarities of them. 3 of the 4 elements are the Bar polarity, Cold and status mods are the D, but then the element/status combo mods are neither Bar or D, and are the Checkmark/V polarity instead.

the D polarity does set up for Gas-Magnetic, or Blast damage, which is brutal in a chain-spamming AOE (Try a blast-electric Amprex sometime for hilarity). However the status chance is so low that you cannot really count on procs. AOE combo elemets shine on chain fire weapons like the Amprex, Atomos, or Quanta however, as sweeping the weapon back and forth across a closely packed group (like corrupted in a narrow doorway) can lock the entire set down, with Electric, Gas, or Blast procs chaining themselves across the crowd separatly from the actual weapon fire.
