"You normally don't go for a crit/maiming strike build with a weapon without crit chance"

Ummmm yes you do. You barely get any extra crit chance from a better base when you're using maiming strike. Low crit chance weapons benefit from it almost as much as crit weapons do. In fact if anything it scales better on status weapons vs crit because it's adding a new multiplier onto status which is already ridiculously powerful.

Having said all of that this weapon is hot water garbage unless you have a riven. It's popular because it has a high disposition for a whip. A +range +crit damage +slide crit with a non issue curse stat like impact shoots this weapon up to basically god tier. Otherwise it's 100% trash.
