@LoneTenno 1, Watch the mouth, you happen to reply to an expert, I know exactly what I'm saying. First of all impact damage sucks, gets penalized vs flesh, procs deal no dmg and as soon as you strip armor or deplete shields, you start dealling less damage. In contrast slash procs bypass both armor and shields and deal extra dmg vs flesh, extremely useful vs eximus units. Second, you are not losing DPS, you are simply changing the IPS proportions to favor slash procs. When it comes to status weapons having the right procs is more valuable than having high dmg, this is why status weapons beat crit weapons at higher levels, and it's the only reason ppl use Hunter Munitions despite it giving no dmg. It's like using Primed Cryo Rounds, it gives a lot of raw dmg, but it sucks anyway, cold procs deal no dmg, magnetic procs do nothing and blast ones actually reduce the DPS, procing heat actually deals more dmg despite the massive difference in numbers. Third, Vulkar is not a status weapon, it has a high status chance, but no one in their right mind will build it that way. Vulkar is a sniper rifle, a one shot one kill machine, when you one shot an enemy, status doesn't matter, so in the end raw dmg is all that anyone should care about. I don't think you have a point, you are simply missinformed.

@Felicss, the base dmg is actually high, it's more than 250% the base dmg of Soma Prime. Impact procs not only prevent slash procs from happening, also prevent elemental procs, so if you are using corrosive, you are truly hurting your DPS by adding more impact. Finally, yes, Karak doesn't have the beastial base dmg of Tigris Prime, but shots a lot faster so you'll be impresed by how quick it can take out heavy units.
