Crit is the only option. If you're focusing on the damage the cloud does -  which honestly.. why wouldn't you - then build for crit.

If you're camping, you will be getting criticals on weak body parts with the clouds consistently. This is the difference between a 800 damage tick, and a 40,000 damage tick. And if you're not camping, you want to kill anything that happens to wander into your cloud on the first tick since they aren't going to stay in it for long. Crits allow this to happen more frequently.

Its a fun weapon to build in other ways, but if you're going for pure damage then you want to go crit. Then again, crit is also more versatile since you can easily go 3 dual status mods along with it and abuse both the status and the crit.
