Status + Crit or Crit and Crit Multiplier on War?

[Khalyserion]

I've been toying around with builds lately and trying them out in the simulacrum and I just can't decide. I know that status is usually valued above crit on many weapons, but is war one of the in between weapons? It has a nice critical chance and it also has a nice status chance. 

Here is my current build that I use for crits.

The next build is almost the same but I swapped out 2 mods.

The final build is one that I'm not too sure about, please critique all the things.

The thing about War is that it can be run in pretty much any way you can think of if you put the effort into it. I personally run a Blood Rush/Body Count build, but I do switch to status builds every once in awhile. It really just comes down to preference.

I run my War for Crit and Damage only. In my opinion the weapon is too slow for a status build.

A slow weapon with good range  can be good for applying procs that do not need to stack like radiation provided it really procs once you hit the enemiy ( so in this case it is really important to have a really high status chance and also important that the proc pool is not divided into IPS).

A radiation Lecta is an example of a weapon that can proc radiation consistently. 

On the other hand fast weapons with good speed and status like Dual Clevers on Nikana Prime will proc a lot and will shine with elementals that need to stack to be worth like corrosive or slash.
