Is Hunter Munitions still the meta on Nataruk? Does that make Status Damage the most desirable spliced stat?

First, a PSA: WEAK POINT DAMAGE DOES NOT WORK ON NATARUK

Now, that leaves us to splice either:

a) a combined stat (probably viral if you don't have external panzer/nourish, corrosive otherwise)

b) stats damage and build around hunter munitions

I haven't used the bow in a bit, has anyone tested this?
