-fire rate would remove so much DPS from this weapon though. In higher levels your best way of dealing damage with the Baza is viral+HM, and - fire rate would increase your TTK by quite a lot. If you want to make it stop chewing through ammo, use a carrier or practice burst firing the gun to not waste ammo on an already dead target. Baza rivens with -fire rate give between -29.4% and 36.0% for a 2+ 1-, or 44.6% to 54.5% for a 3+ 1-. This means that the BEST CASE scenario with a  -fire rate riven gives you a fire rate of 11.76 and a base DPS of 188 (as compared to the standard 266). Mix that with a reduced amount of HM slash procs (29.4% less) and you get some pretty serious loss in overall performance.
