The Status Chance is way too low for a weapon that... well, there are a whole bunch of reasons. It one of two pure elemental damage one-handed swords and the only one with a combination element. It can only be gotten through alerts. Of one-handed swords it is tied for lowest critical chance, critical multiplier and status chance and tied for second to last in attack speed and damage.

I love being able to get Corrosion, Blast AND Radiation all on one weapon, but I really can't justify using it when there are so many better options are available. As others have said, one-handed swords in general need a rework. Their basic selling point is freedom of movement while swinging, and even that is lost when you add a stance.
