Best used with armor strip/reduction for scaling.
Galvnized Aptitude doesn't work on the AOE component but does affect the direct hit of the initial arrow (about 25% of AOE dmg) and the direct contact of the appendages (only 9% of AOE dmg), and is only 10% less status chance than [Rifle Aptitude] (which is the alternative).
[Primed Firestorm] increases the AOE from 7m to 10m, but does NOT affect the 9m pull radius of the appendages. Since without Primed Firestorm the mod already pulls all enemies in 9 m into a compact ball, and there is 50% fall-off at the edge of the AOE, the 1m extra 'effective' range is NOT worth a mod slot.
