The Karak Wraith is what the original Karak should have been. The stats on this thing are just plain mediocre; The Status chance is basically it's only saving grace, but here's the thing. Status builds on physical weapons just aren't the best idea, because you have a very low chance of getting elemental procs in comparison to getting physical ones, and physical status procs are just crappy. If you want a good proc'chance Primary, something like the Quanta Vandal will serve you much better, if you were around for it. Otherwise there are a multitude of secondaries, like the Atomos, the Nukor, the Tysis, etc. that are great for getting 2 or 3 elemental damage types with a nearly 100% status chance and the ability to hit many enemies at once, due to punch-through and dart physics with the Tysis, Extended Range on the Atomos also makes it very, very good at hitting many enemies, and the Nukor is a continuous beam which you can also apply punch-through to, making it decent at crowd proc'ing.
