There's no need to use [Assault Mode] on [Shade Prime] as long as [Duplex Bond] is used, you might want to use a strong companion weapon to make the most of it

[Calculated Redirection] might sound troll, but it might be a lot better than 25% dr from armor... Plus (i think) it shield gates better with the help of [Reinforced Bond]

Because we have no [Assault Mode], it is easier to enter stealth while in combat... Because of this too, i've slotted [Spare Parts] in my build
