Why buff this thing? Having two V polarities allows for cheap adding of serration and thunderbolt. Any elemental damage scales of the base damage making it pretty decent. And wtf give it 30 % crit chance? You even realize how crazy that is? Crits are supposed to be rare, with a few exceptions. Having a 20 % crit chance on charged shots is pretty good and upgradeable to 50 %. Firerate can be improved with mods. And if you want armor ignore, then use one of the armor ignore weapons like the paris or boltor. Stop whining about buffs, this thing is a fucking beast. I killed bosses with a few headshots of this thing when its properly modded. So either you are not modding correctly or you just dont know the power of this weapon. If you have the aim it takes to get headshots you WILL own the living hell out of most things but light infested. But thats where thunderbolt gives you a little bit of extra help.

Not saying this weapon is uberpowerfull on later levels, it has its downsides. But saying it plainly sucks and needs a buff, then giving some options for buffs that would turn ANYTHING into a superweapon is just retarded.
