Also, the reason I build it for status ir rather simple. The reason why status isn't viable on a lot of weapons is because of the lack of pure dps a weapon gets when modding for pure status. Even with that being said, it's still a requirement, status that is. Killing a lvl 140 heavy gunner without status is almost impossible not to mention how hard it is to accomplish against a lvl 140 bombard(bombards have an insane amount of EHP because of their armor values but don't have a lot of health in truth). What about melee weapons that have 8x multipliers, can deal finisher damage, can stack slash procs and gas procs like it's raining them, can be easily used, and can also get more multipliers on top of those multipliers? Status is almost overpowered on melee weapons. WITH THE RIGHT BUILD, my secura lecta WITHOUT MAIMING STRIKE and ONLY STATUS can kill 20 lvl 140 heavy gunners with a SINGLE HIT. I'm not really joking at all. That's pretty much how powerful status is on melee weapons. How does it work? Simple. I just crowded them into a single spot with ivara, used prowl with 40% powerstrength (overextended), used my secura lecta with gas, electric, weepings wounds, primed reach, a huge amounts of base damage and then tapped e. Once. This might not seem like much but the fact that gas procs can stack and are also AOE means that enemies that are within a 5 meter range within eachother can get more than 1 Gas proc. You might think this actually takes long for them to die. Not really. It takes 2 seconds. You can test it out. If it doesn't work, you're doing it wrong.
