Also looking at a shotgun build as I'm not really enjoying a Machete build. The wiki states "5 to 6" strength is needed for shotguns, and 7 is required for Full Auto. How much strength should I take? I'm guessing Combat Shotguns have a req of 6 Strength, at which point I might as well just go for 7 and Full Auto, if not though and 6 is just for some specific ones I might look at saving the 2 stat points for elsewhere.
Additionally is it worth taking perfect scattering? I imagine with burst fire it would be a lot of extra damage with hoppershot, unsure if it's worth a feat though.
