I think it's worth mentioning that on any weapon that does a single damage type, you shouldn't take the status chance at face value.

When you have Impact, Puncture and Slash on a weapon, in addition to one or more elementals, then the status chance is showing the chance of having a proc, which may not be of the damage type you want.

You can increase the chance of one damage type happening by boosting its damage above the rest, but that will never get all procs to be the same, and it's also been suggested that the IPS types still seem to have a higher chance of proccing over elements than should be happening, going by the damage numbers.

This makes weapons like the karyst a better choice if you want to go for certain elemental status procs, because 15% on a weapon with just one elemental damage type, will actually give you a higher chance of getting that damage type to proc, than a higher status chance weapon that also has IPS on it.

You'll also see lower status chances on weapons that have a high rate-of-fire or attack speed, because it normalizes the status chance per second, when compared to slower, higher status chance weapons.
