How the math works on 60/60 mods and applying slash statuses - Lemmy.World

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 0.3125% 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.
