Shotgun or Psionic Build?

Critical damage bonus. Also in the best case that all Flurries hit, the damage output is higher overall.

It's missing two belts, but I think it's up to date aside from those.

I'm not that good at psi so I won't comment on that. For shotguns you basically always want short barrel instead of long, vindicator is the best type by far, leading shot is much better than barrel stare (being able to reliably hit death stalkers even at low level is sooo goooood), auto shotguns are fun but not really that useful most of the time, pumps always want foregrip, autos always want magazine, choke is a joke upgrade that you should never take because it's worse than nothing. It has two negatives and no positives what the fuck why did you put this in the game?
Oh yeah, critical power doesn't multiply the bonus crit damage from fragmented chaos. I don't know why. It just doesn't. You might think crit power+chaos+3p shells would be awesome, but nope, doesn't work.
Shotguns got a huge buff with AP rollover since now pumps can fire three times every second turn instead of being capped at two shots and having 10 AP you can't use, so that's great. If you want to play shotguns then now is a good time.

My last run was a pure psi, and towards the 2nd half it became a slog. These builds can become too fidgety, and you basically do the same strategy 99% of the time, and it was very tiresome in expedition, where you fight swarms of the same enemies. I don't think I'll ever play another pure-psi build again.
I've never played shotguns, but they're probably more fun.
