Dual Pistols - Defender's Modifier

Hello again folks, was just curious as to whether or not there's an updated listing of each of Dual Pistol's abilities with all types of ammo types. I'm wanting to see if the secondary effect stacking of Lethal/Cold/Chemical are anything special by comparison to other Defender secondaries.
(And if so, which of each is more powerful and would be better suited to build a powerset combo around!)

In general the advantage of Dual Pistols is that it offers three different types of damage mitigation (knockback, slow and -damage) and no other blast set offers -damage. However to balance this the debuffs are weaker than in other sets.

Thank ya sir, wasn't sure if CoD had been updated in a while; every guide on here is several issues old : (

Just wondering if this ability to swap ammo warrants such low numbers and how greatly it effects overall performance. It's a "fun" set purely for blasting, but.. not too sure about the numbers.

EDIT: O_O -12.5% DAM per-application of Chem Rounds?! That's got great potential! Have no idea why I was told differently; you can easily stack three applications of that on a boss or tougher target and keep it at least at x2, which is as good as a second application of Enervating Field's -DAM debuff.

Now, if only ammo swapping COMPLETELY changed your damage from one element to another of your choice- THAT, would be extreme.

The old version of CoD is no longer updated, however the link I sent you is the new version which is still being maintained (at least to some degree, it's not 100% up to date).

Could I get some clarification on this -

The secondary effects of swap ammo, they're still a 'chance to' and not 'automatic' correct? Stacking these effects sounds awesome but when you consider that it's not certain it kinda loses it's pizazz.

It's been a while since I played my DP though so I may be wrong.
