I was in a discussion on reddit where someone suggested using unranked 60/60 mods so they don’t reduce the chance of applying slash too much but can still apply viral. I tried posting this on reddit but their website is shit, wouldn’t let me post on mobile, and I’m not downloading their app.

50% slash damage on the weapon with 30% chance of status effects = 15% chance of slash being applied.

If you add 1 60/60 mod then you have 31.25% slash damage on the weapon with a 48% chance of status effects = 15% chance of slash status being applied.

Please don’t put unranked 60/60 mods on your weapons because you think it will reduce the chance of slash.

    Well the elemental stat will skew the distribution more away from slash the higher the status chance is before the dual stat mod is thrown in

    If you repeat the calculation with another dual stat or the 80% aptitude mod (or weeping wounds for melee) already on it you’ll get a lot different results

    The Overframe site or whatever it was called is pretty good for checking out different mod combos. Not sure if it’s anywhere close to 100% accurate with how much weird spaghetti nonsense warframe mechanics have, but better than nothing.

    Unranked dualstat mods pull ahead once you also get status chance bonuses from other mods, like the galvanized status chance mods or slash status mods like Carnis Stinger. Sharing a few builds with a Vasto Prime (77 slash damage, 33 non-slash damage, 22% status chance):

    ## Galvanized Shot + 2 dualstat mods
Total damage:      242
Slash:             77 (31.8182%)
Status Chance:     66%
Slash Proc Chance: 21%

## Galvanized Shot + 2 unranked dualstat mods
Total damage:      143
Slash:             77 (53.8462%)
Status Chance:     46.2%
Slash Proc Chance: 24.88%

## Galvanized Shot + 2 dualstat mods + Carnis Stinger
Total damage:      311.3
Slash:             146.3 (46.9965%)
Status Chance:     79.2%
Slash Proc Chance: 37.22%

## Galvanized Shot + 2 unranked dualstat mods + Carnis Stinger
Total damage:      212.3
Slash:             146.3 (68.9119%)
Status Chance:     59.4%
Slash Proc Chance: 40.93%

    As you can see, unranked dualstat mods do increase the chance to proc slash on a shot. Whether this is worth the loss in raw damage will depend on additional variables like enemy defenses.
