Modding Sweeper Prime?

[Ifeno]

I'm mainly a Rifle user so I don't know much about modding Shotguns.  What's the preferred / recommended way to mod the Sweeper Prime?

Status. Something that'll keep people off you like blast, cold, fire, electricity. For me at least.

[----Fenrir----]

• Status (preferably something with CC like blast)
• Punch through
• fire rate

Damage is a bonus. Yet knocking enemies that try to come at you from behind on their asses with let's say a blast proc is a lot more useful and also has unlimited scaling since it's just as effective against lvl 100 enemies as it is against low level stuff.

Any specific builds you guys can recommend?

Currently I have:

Hell's Chamber

Blaze

Scattering Inferno

Incendiary Coat

Chilling Grasp

Point Blank

Seeking Force

Seeking Fury

[OvAeons]

high fire rate and status is a good direction, can go gas electric for AoE procs DoT on HP and CC clouds or normal corrosive/heat but that is no fun... or blast electric for full CC

I have mine modded for fire rate, reload speed, punch through, status, and Viral/Radiation

Is reload speed really that good?  Also, is firerate important enough to warrant Accelerated Blast despite the low puncture damage on Sweeper Prime?

I haven't gone and crunched numbers, but I figured that the sooner my Sentinel begins firing again, the better.

Modding for Status and Viral/Radiation means that the target will either have half health or engage its enemies (and be a distraction), so I want my Sentinel firing as often as possible lol

Plus, the standard fire rate mod is decent enough

I mod all of my sentinel weapons with fire rate, status, multishot, and maybe reload speed.
