^ that's not entirely correct, the amount of status chance is not the problem with IPS, but that physical procs are more common than elemental ones. thus you need higher firerate/attackspeed to proc your desired non-IPS-element enough to matter.

the important thing is the amount of procs of the desired element per second or in other terms, status chance * firerate.

even if you only have a 10-20% status chance on an IPS weapon, if you have a high firerate, you will reliably proc a good amount of Corrosive (for example Azima -> ~6.5 Corrosive procs/sec with a status build).

on the other hand, even if you have 100% status chance on a very slow IPS weapon, Corrosive procs will not occur frequently enough to make it work (for example Daikyu -> ~0.8 Corrosive procs/sec with a status build).
