One really nice thing about these is that with 3 status + element mods and Stunning Speed, you reach 100% status chance BEFORE multishot. That means you don't have to use all 4 status mods, and can have access to interesting status combinations such as Gas + Electricity, Heat + Viral, Toxin + Radiation, Corrosive + Cold, Gas + Cold, Heat + Corrosive and so on.

You also don't have to deal with the multishot readings lying about the actual status chance per hit. So you can add multishot and still be safe in the knowledge that every tick of your poison clouds will proc status. They also have high enough base damage that toxin proc stacks don't just tickle.
