Status duration question

[(XBOX)Adams Eden 8]

Got a riven with 100% negative status duration, so no melee hit will inflict a status correct?

It will inflict a status (do status damage) but you won't have a proc. For example, if you were to get a slash proc, instead of the target bleeding, it will not do anything.

Dealing damage is not Status infliction.

All damage types deal damage, that has nothing to do with Status.

Status effects are "just" a bonus you might get from a damage type on top of their regular damage.

With that much negative duration the status will apply, then instantly fall off.

Not an issue for snipers, but for most other weapons, that would suck

Requires status' on the enemy, with negative duration this will do absolutely nothing.

Also the ability is just bad. When you have enough status' on an enemy to kill them, why bother using an ability to kill them?

Oh.. my bad. I mixed it with the Mark for death where it "activates" after you shoot AND affects enemies around you.
