The problem with ur riven is the +120% slash damage. Why would you ask? I mean extra damage should always be good right? In this case no. Let me explain. This weapon already has high slash damage built on it (78% of it's base damage it's slash) that means that your riven exacerbates this even more. In terms of status procs, physical damage has 4x times more chance to proc vs elemental damage (I recommend reading a guide on how status procs works, but basically every time a status proc is calculated to proc, there is a "priority list" regarding which damage has a priority to apply a status based on it's damage vs total and physical damage it's calculated as 4x compared to elemental in that regard) and since your riven gives you so much slash damage that means that your Condition Overload won't work properly, because of two bad things that are being put together by your riven: the negative status chance and the fact that your slash damage is a very important chunk of your damage, in other words, most of the time the only status proc you're applying will be slash procs whilethe rest of the physical and elemental procs on your weapon won't proc at all so your Condition Overload shouldn't give the damage you expect since only slash damage is applying procs 99% of the time and you need several status procs on your target for Condition Overload to be effective. This gets even worse considering that most of the time, slash-based weapons work very well with Viral damage since both procs synergize so well and yet even if you build Viral on your weapon, Viral procs will proc few times compared to slash, which means that if a Viral procs even happens in the first place, there is a high chance that the Viral proc will fade from the target before you get to proc it again to keep the enemy target at 50% HP. In other words, both the extra slash damage and the negative status chance of your riven just make a Condition Overload practically useless in your weapon, even adding Viral won't have much effect.

Hope this helps.
