The changes to shotgun status chance killed Euphona Prime's buckshot in terms of its ability to proc status. As it stands, even if you were to mod it with all status chance mods and a riven with positive status chance and a negative, the most you will be able to get is ~54% status chance per pellet, which is abysmal.
Before the changes, the Euphona Prime had a flat 30% status chance, with the possibility of sacrificing damage to achieve 100% status chance. As it stands, the 30% was divided by 10 bullets to give a 3% base status chance, then multiplied by 3 to give our current 9% chance to proc status per bullet. Needless to say, the gun's current iteration does not fit it's intended dual purpose of a deadly critical slug and ravaging short-range status shotgun.
Linked below is the full status build as proof.

I propose buffing the status chance back to the original 30% status chance, as there are sacrifices to be made to achieve hybrid builds. If not, the shotgun should scale with crit and allow the gun to become a full crit menace.
Also I did post this on the WF forums but would like to know if anyone else feels my heartache by losing one of their favorite weapons to a nerf.
