Regarding Mesa's Regulators: A build question

[Say]

After sifting through dozens of online guides, many youtube videos, and consulting with friends and other fellow players ingame regarding Mesa's regulators, I can't seem to find a consistent answer regarding the most efficient use of her 8th mod slot.

For those that don't know, the first 7 slots are pretty much the same, those mods being:

Hornet Strike
Target Cracked
Pistol Gambit
Barrel Diffusion
Convulsion (or whatever elemental combo you need)
Heated Charge (or whatever elemental combo you need)
Lethal Torrent

The 8th slot however is a tossup, and I've seen so many different conflicting accounts on this one. A bunch say use Magnum Force, others say Gunslinger, and some say Anemic Agility. I've even seen a few people running status mods with elemental damage to get more procs of elemental.

Whats your opinion on her 8th slot? What suits an all-purpose build best?

[Daizangan]

I'd say anemic agility.
Damage mods stack to a max i remember correctly

[Archwraith]

Gunslinger would allow you to get really high dps from the moment you cast it. I personally recommend that one.

Not to a max, simply mattering a whole lot less after a point.
I would recommend Anemic Agility or Gunslinger, yeah.

A third elemental mod. The two 90%'s to produce Corrosive (forgot the names) plus Primed Heated Charge.

I think I put Hollow Point on my build, gotta get that sweet crit multiplier.

Looks like you won't get consistent answer here either.

lol

[Walrus-Sama]

Damage, Crit, Multishot, Corrosive Damage and Fire Rate is what you want.

Basicly this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1614842640

So Anemic Agility.

[Mhblis]

Its because the 8th slot is up to a fair amount of personal preference.

I personally flip flop between fire rate and more damage. Either will happily deal with any of the current content.

[SpankyMcFlych]

Count me as another vote for anemic agility or gunslinger. Anemic agility seems to be slightly better then gunslinger but your mileage may vary.

[Rahlence]

Anemic agility, for sure.

Anemic agility

With Arcane velocity sure, without it I'd stick with either Radiation because of Primed Heated Charge, or Corrosive when you really need it. Tho apart from very high level play and specific enemies Radiation will work better cause 255% elemental is better than 180% overall.

Considering OP is not yet running a single primed mod I think it's safe to assume that there is no Arcane Velocity in there, I'd suggest he goes with fire rate, Gunslinger or Anemic Agility.

I personally use Anemic.

And depends on Ability Strength, you can also remove Hornet Strike (less impact with high Ability Strength), afaik ...... I removed it, and using Vigorous Swap's bonus damage instead ...... I changed it to another elemental (Corrosive + Primed Heated for me)

I use this (Index for radiation but you can swap out fire mod for toxin for corrosive)
