Status Builds On Melee

[bodyguard121]

What are the best melee weapons to make a status build?And do melees stil proc when i use the quick melee button when i have my rifle in my hand?

[Drazhar14]

Melee weapons with high attack speed and/or high status chance. Yes they still proc from quick melee. 

[Cynick]

Lecta and Serro are almost definitely the best two because they have high status chance and no other physical proc's to get in the way of your element proc of choice. 

Silva and Aegis can actually do this reasonably well too, if you prefer a sword style weapon. 

Otherwise, I would definitely recommend the Bo Prime.

Atterax would be another option. High crit chance to make use of Beserker, wide aoe attacks, good status chance.

 

Also the Redeemer. Its normal attacks don't have much status chance, but the shotgun blast multiplies it by 10 pellets so it's very likely you'll get at least one proc.

If you're looking for some weapon for a quick melee wreckage, that's Jat Kittag.
Knock down on slam attacks with large radius.
Plus he has the same status chance with the other weapons mentioned here.

I seconded Bo Prime. Decent status on top of having great mobility.

Put this together very quickly

If you have the required Mods, Jat Kittag is probably the best melee weapon for Crowd Control
