4 dual stat mods bring it to 68% without barrel diffusion. (3.4*20 or 20 + 2.4*20). 3 dual stat mods would be 56% without barrel diffusion. The problem with your status build is that it would barely be able to crit 1k per bullet. However, a crit build will punch out 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k against various targets. I use a full power corrosive crit build for that reason, it begins to struggle around 35 minutes into solo Tower Survival IV, but I can still solo 40 minutes with it at least. The status build doesn't clear groups fast enough to get that far, not is the status build really able to kill bombards or heavies reliably. I used to use a status build, I do know this, and I chose to forsake it for crit when I went build testing in live play and found the crit build simply outclasses the status build even at high levels.

But you're arguing based on the fact that you prefer a status build and not that you've even tried a full power build, right?
