Help with New Ignis Build (Riven-Crit)

[Uppercut_Phoenix]

With the introduction of Riven Mods I wanted to revisit Ignis which has always been one of my favorite weapons.  Wanted to get some thoughts regarding the below build and the last slot.  I was thinking between a dual stat mod, vile acceleration, and maybe even primed cryo rounds for a nice damage boost.  I'm all out of Kuva and this last roll had me thinking if a Crit Ignis build would be viable at this point.  I mainly play Ember, Inaros, Nova and Frost and was hoping that maybe with this new Riven mod I could make a viable crit build. Thanks for looking and I appreciate any feedback in advance.  Thanks.

By the way, the last forma slot is Vazarin, it is right under the Riven Mod, I moved Hammershot to the far right to make a better pic.

When you playtest this, please post a video. I need to see this in action xP

Ignis definitely needs a firerate mod to be good (all beam weapons do), so either Speed Trigger or even better, Vile Acceleration. That being said, crit chance still looks too low, I guess if you like to use Kavats it could work, cause that 7.2x crit damage looks pretty good, otherwise, no, a crit build doesn't look viable.

I love the Ignis, use it a lot, to me it'll alway remain a status machine.

Yeah, kavats or arcane avenger would be necessary to make this really work.

yep, Crit Chance is too low despite using 4 Mod Slots for Crit Mods.
it's not useful but sure go ahead.

Hmmm even tho it s hilarious, i would suggest dropping Hammershot for Firestorm, the boost in range is huuuuge, and the last should be an elemental mod, the damage boost is way too good

Think of it more as a status mod with the benefits of better crits. Don't build towards crits since you're just gonna be disappointed.  

Now that I look at it, this wouldn't be too bad. There's only an 18% chance to crit but the crits are 7.2x which is a lot of damage. I recommend keeping the Heat damage since it's amazing with Ember but if you do change it into a multi element I recommend Gas for extra damage. I think your last mod (when you make more room) should be Firestorm. It adds a lot of range to the Ignis and makes it much more useful

That Crit Chance is too low considering how poor the damage rate for continuous weapons are.

You may have to test to be sure. Ignis uses pellets like a shotgun but it's UI does not reflect this well.

For instance through testing I've found that Ignis actually makes use of higher than 100% status/sec.

The Crit chance displayed could very well be per pellet or it could be divided between the pellets like a shotgun. I've never checked.
