I was talking about status effect weapons though, like for example the paralysis kjarr long sword has about 150 ( or more depending on the awakening skills you choose) less raw than safi's longswords but I'm curious how much easier it is to proc paralysis with it compared to safi's paralysis ls.
I'm sorry. I totally read your "crit status" as "crit element"! Whoops!
Usually status isn't worth it overall given the high levels you start to need to proc the status after the first one or first couple. Getting one more proc of paralysis isn't worth the raw damage you are giving up over time. To my understanding, it's always best to think of status as a bonus.
That sad, not a stone cold expert. Anyone else?
