The status is a nice addition but the weapon is sadly slow and it procs too much junk. If it was purely elemental bow with lower base damage and super high fire rate, I could consider it as a decent status machine. Right now it doesn't fill that role properly. It's like Daikyu can't decide if it wants to be a proc gun or a heavy hitter. I guess it was meant to be a combination of the two.

You can also mod Dread / Paris P with two status mods and split chamber which brings the status chance up to 66.176% per trigger pull. So in the long run, out of the 100 shots you get roughly 66 that proc. For Daikyu it is 100/100. But Dread's delay is 0.7s + 0.526s and for Daikyu it is 0.6s + 1.446s (with vile acc). So for Dread it takes 122.6s to fire those 100 shots. For Daikyu 204.6s. Now divide the amount of procs with time spent firing and you will see that Dread has actually higher '''proc rate. '''Not to mention that Dread procs unwanted effects (impact and puncture) very rarely which is not the case for Daikyu.

DE didn't want this to be the best bow in the game and I think that's a good decision. Well I wouldn't have minded if they brought it to Dread's and Paris P's level but oh well. Maybe Cernos Prime will be the next bad boy (that impact though.. eww).
