Prisma Skana's syndicate mod gives less direct damage than Primed Pressure Point (100% vs 165%), which will in turn reduce the boost of every elemental mod (because they use the modded base damage as reference). The health boost is based on base health, so it will be usually a 25-38 bonus max health, which is minimal. The corrosive damage and proc are not reliable since even if you go full melee it will only proc every 30 seconds at best, and 1000 damage is less relevant at higher levels. The only real benefit is the instant heal, which is 25% of your total modded health, but you have more reliable ways of healing.

Krokur has more base damage (27% more) but it also has 16% less attack speed. If you use berserker Dakra Prime has 1.75 attack speed while Krokur has 1.45. The fact that Dakra Prime has 36% crit while Krokur has 29% is a huge difference. If you put BloodRush on both Dakra Prime can reach 273% crit chance, while Krokur is 221%. As you can see, it is very likely for Dakra Prime to do red crit (73%) while Krokur only has 21% chance to red crit. Even if you add Sacrificial Steel together Dakra Prime would reach 352% crit chance (guaranteed red crit with 52% chance even higher crit multiplier) while Krokur would be 284.8% (84% chance to normal red crit). Dakra Prime would still be superior, even with the base damage difference, simply because the extra crit tier would increase the damage, A LOT.

Broken War rivals Dakra Prime, and you can pretty much build them the same way. As for the damage the 0.2 crit multiplier difference reduces the gap in damage.If you put blood rush and Organ Shatter we have:

Dakra Prime: 170 base damage, 273% crit chance with  4.56x multiplier (1,958 damage if red crit)

Broken war: 187 base damage, 266% crit chance with 4.18x crit multiplier. (1,970 damage if red crit)

As you can see, Broken War does a bit more damage if both red crit, but you still have a minor difference in crit chance, which will occasional make Broken War only have orange crit, which affects overal DPS. So it makes sense they're in the same MR rank. As for the status chance, it will hardly make a difference.
