Even the tysis doesn't get much status effect in practice and as of current state of status effect's effectiveness or the benefit it can get from the magnus, it's not something really recommendable. There is no 'damage build'. All the base/at least 3 elemental damage mods are essential to any build, obviously two multishot mods included. Then you'll get 2 slots for an additional elemental or utility mod. As I said the status effect is not that impressive for now, (I use cicero pistol mod so it's covered anyway) I go for crits. I chose 44%/ x3.3 crits that'll sometimes do over 10k headshot damage on mid-lev heavies over additional 400-ish for the best elemental damage in every shot. That was enough for me to go crit build.
