(PSN)Deeceem Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I can't look at the link but I'd say generally: yes, negative status duration is a bad Riven negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookoothepriest Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 The first roll is +64% crit damage, and 5.5 seconds combo duration the second roll is +60% crit damage, +64% electricity, 1.3 range, and -49.9% status duration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Rizghaz11 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Most status effects last 6 seconds, so with neg 50% status that's 3 seconds. Considering you are using the paracesis with a good riven if your regular grinder or corpus is taking more then 3 seconds to die then we have a problem. In my book for most weapons neg status durarion is a free negative. Your best bet is to chose it and see if you like it. If you dont like it then you will know not to pick it for the future, theres always a better roll. Edit: just thought about the arguement that neg status duration will hurt slash and DoT procs. Yes, technically it will since less durations means less slash ticks happening, but most things, even on SP, will die to 2 or 3 slash procs from a paracesis so I wouldn't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proscriptor Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 in general it is one of the worst negatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 it's not great generally, but at the same time Paracesis doesn't need to rely on spamming Status to be able to perform IMO. but i also use Paracesis in a relatively unconventional way. i think you can live with weaker Status performance, but it isn't desirable by any means.

Loza03 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Depends on the weapon. A crit-heavy secondary or Melee probably won't notice, as status effects aren't a major part of their playstyle and output. Hybrids likely won't either, since having both means that ideally you'll overwhelm the target with firepower and both crit and viral mulipliers to eradicate them off the face of the earth. However, Hunter Munitions weapons and of course status weapons will have an issue, particularly if they're of the 'lots of statuses in big slow chunks' variety like Tigris. In other words, if the weapon is reliant on Damage-over-time, then it's a major weakness, as this halves your damage potential. If it's burst or sustained fire, you likely won't notice.

Proscriptor Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 even if you relied on direct damage as opposed to damage-over-time, and even if you used corrosive, you would definitely see a big difference immediately between a riven with and without -sd when corrosive proc changed to how it is now, i tried out several of my rivens with -sd and they were bad if you rely on direct damage only and have only around -50% sd or less, that is however manageable, but it gets progressively worse as the percentage increases any riven with close to -100% status chance on a weapon that *can* proc status (come can't or almost can't) is instant trash if the only function of paracesis for you is to kill sentient, than -sd doesn't matter at all, but it shouldn't be it's only function because there are usually other factions present in the mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Calliber Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If you're focusing on Crit, then it's a great negative to get. But if you are going to rely on DoT or can't kill the target in a small amount of time then best to move on. That said, for the majority of content the negative duration is NBD as the target will in most cases be dead before the status effect wears off; high level content is where this can become an issue though the easy fix to that in your case is using abilities, secondary, or primary to establish the status effect. 17 hours ago, cookoothepriest said: the second roll is +60% crit damage, +64% electricity, 1.3 range, and -49.9% status duration Ya, I'd use that.
