SWORD: best status chance mods?

[Gyrmadet]

which mods can be considered on top of the food chain when it comes to boosting Status Chance? (edit: for SWORDS)

All 4 Dual stats status/elemental mods.

Condition Overload. (Is highly recommended if you want more damage going status. )

Relentless Combination is really good if you got a high slash weapon. Since it will guarantee status with every hit once slash get proc on an enemy.

I don't personally use it, but Weeping wound is basically Blood Rush but for status. Try it if you can get one. Since it does help with status chance.

A riven of course.

One handed swords have stance Crimson Dervish and if you go to wiki to read about it reason it's good is because it makes weapon do 200-400% damage per hit.

With that I'd say going full critical is your best bet as critical is what adds pure damage while status is better over time.

If you can get high Status and chuck a bunch of elemental damage types (like Blast), then the [Condition Overload] mod can be amazingly powerful.

Combo'd with a Sentinel that is providing the elemental types you're missing, and improving your melee attack speed (to apply more conditions faster) makes the aforementioned "200-400%" damage pale in comparison.
The Cryotra sentinel weapon starts with 35% status, iirc, so hitting 100% (for the other elements, like Gas damage) is relatively easy.

The reason I mention Gas+Blast is that both apply 2 status effects each. Blast applies its own status, as well as the hidden Knockdown status effect. Gas procs apply Toxin damage - so on a weapon with high status, it'll apply both Gas and Toxin effects. The more status effects on a target, the more (exponentially) powerful Condition Overload becomes. :-)

I put some upgrades into Heat Sword (high Status Chance, guaranteed AoE burn on slam etc) and Infested just melt like snowflakes under the Sun. I am surprised how many players overlook this awesome weapon...
