Fang Prime, Fang Blades, And Status Chance

[RejectionOfFate]

Alrighty. To sum things up rather nicely: the Status Chance on the Fang Primes and the Fang Blades are ridiculously low.

 

0.5% For the Fang Primes. No chance whatsoever of giving a Status Proc. Even with the new event mods, combined, it goes nowhere.

 

Older weapons need to be relooked at in general when it comes to Status Chance, having dismally low percentages.

 

On a side note, when will the Basic Status Chance mods be getting that promised buff from a few livestreams ago?

 

Maxed out, it is still somewhere around 15%? What is the point of wasting that mod slot?

Maybe it's a weapon not really built for a status chance build? Just like how not all guns are made for crit builds? 

 

Also, Fang and Fang prime hit insanely fast. If these weapons had any moderate status chance, it would be close to overpowered.

The Fangs have one of the highest attack speeds in the game and strike two to three times per press of the button. If the status chance were any higher than 5%, you would never stop getting procs.

Not a weapon that excels at status builds. It is one of the fast and hardest hitting melee weapons in the game.

Agreed, honestly i want to like fang prime but they are just too weak, even with that ROF,

And if someone says melee 2.0 (about the thread) im gonna punch him in the ballet shoes

None of the older weapons excel at status builds, to be honest, save for the ones that were hit by the first swing of Scott's Galatine of Buffing. The rest have been rather stagnant.
