Worth mentioning the reliability of damage. Without 100% CC, opting for CD will give you a wider spread of damage probabilities than if you opt for offense. Your non-crits deal less damage, but your crits deal more.
It may seem that no one has understood that you can have bigger crit damage with an offense set if CD bonuses are high enough.
Let’s take an example:
Night sister acolyte can have +200CD when using her special attack (5 ni in team and 5 debuffed enemies -> 20*10= 200% ) and she’s g13r7 with 9395 special damage base.
Let’s suppose we put square, cross and arrow with offense primaries and triangle with CD. Using 6* mods that’s 8.5*4= 34 and we have no other offense secondaries.
Let’s see damage done on crit if they are a set of Critical damage:
*(1+Off_Bonus)*(1.5+CD_Mods+CD_Bonus))
*(1+0)*(1.5+.42+.30+2)= 75440.12132
Let’s see damage done if they are a set of Offense:
*(1+Off_Bonus)*(1.5+CD_Mods+CD_Bonus))
*(1+0)*(1.5+.42+2)= 77921.52872
So, Offense set does more damage when crit and when not crit. Making CC irrelevant in order to choose the best set as Offense Set is doing more damage regardless of CC if CD bonus is high enough.
