i like it for status; as you have 2 other weapons that may be better for damage; i use sonicor for crowd control; and it does do damage, so it kills, but so easy to incapicitate then finish with melee, or switch to primary and mow em down

I've gone back to the blast mechanic, as it complements the inherent impact. If 'impact' does not proc, you can be fairly certain that 'blast' will, for the same effect. Sometimes you get a high flyer but mostly they just fall down. You can do something else for CC like electricity or radiation. Blast has the added effect of putting them out of the fight, sometimes, as when they get knocked off a ledge or walkway or thrown sky high. It seems like the double proc of impact + blast is really powerful. Is it my imagination or does it look like they are staggered twice?

Adding in a second elemental status can be helpful, like corrosion or magnetic or whatever works. You can throw in a couple of crit mods, make it more of an all-in-one weapon.
