The max damage is a factor, but only -1% crit vs. +14% speed increase tips the scales to Paracesis for me. The status rabbit hole isn't worth going down when you can get 150k red crits after 15 hits.

All the sentient talk is just a distraction at this point in the game as it never comes up, along with anything about formas vs. catalysts - you can easily top out any melee weapon without much investment these days, so it doesn't matter what it needs. At the end of the day, we're in a crit meta, and this weapon is a crit beast.
