Status effects use the sandstorm's base damage. Weapon mods effect status weighting per proc.

Because of the status chance scaling with power strength, with damaging statuses this compounds power strength such that +100% power strength isnt double damage, it's closer to 7x damage with pure slash (500x2x3.45). 11x with Toxin (500x2x5.5), but that usually requires something to reduce enemy armor. Your non-damaging statuses WILL decrease status damage, however, some are worth it in small amounts. Rad disconnects ancient auras for much more damage, Viral halves health, doubling effective damage.
