Lightning Criticals are effectively adding lightning ATK into the equation, that is undeniable. They are also adding a lot of damage in general to lightning criticals for no cost, a complaint more commonly associated with the previous iterations of Impure Element with elemental scaling skills.
Lightning Criticals are also a common target for the landscape of the game should damage start pushing too far again, they do not rely on SWA like most typical weapon setups do, making them completely an outlier when it comes to weapon skill balance sometimes. Base Chaser isn't really all that special, but suddenly its insanely strong with lightning critical effects, I wonder why that is?
It should be looked at, yes.
