We've got few new mods and a few new factions since the last time I updated this build in 2020, but it's 2024 now and the Crowdpleaser is better than ever!
We're still viral/heat for general use, but now we have Cascadia Flare for the damage backbone and [Pistol Elementalist] to solve our reload speed issues while also nearly doubling the damage from our copious procs.
If taking this against the Murmur, you have the option of swapping to blast/electricity and changing the arcane to Secondary Encumber. I won't say it performs strictly better than viral/heat with Flare, but it'll hang in EDA just fine and it is very fun.
