I don't get all the builds on Warframe Builder then.

More times than not, when attempting to choose a new weapon, i'll go and build to get an idea of the damage output the weapon is capale of. As such, I typically check the "builds" section to see what others have come up with. Here, i'll see things such as "GODLY 95k Burst etc etc" and load it up to look, to find while they've stacked the elemental damages on, the weapon still only has 5-10% chance to proc the status in the first place. To me, this makes the build invalid. If the weapon is depending on elemental damage (exclusion of weapons that do elemental damage to begin with, such as explosives that inherently do burst) but has only a small chance to proc is a waste of time.

Especially when I can use mods with dual stats that add 30% lower elemental damage, in general, but add a 60% chance to proc.

Are these people just slapping together invald builds with insane damages just for show, or am I missing something?

To me, I want to get that status % as close to 100 as possible. If a weapon fires one round at a time, has a 100 round clip, but only a 10% chance to proc, thats, on average, 10 bullets out of the entire clip doing the extra damages - and thats not worth my time.
