Acrid Or Embolist?

[HYPEPHASE]

Sup lads, which one would you suggest and why? Thing is, I'm nearing mastery 7 and I plan on crafting one of these two fancy pistols. I'm really stuck into this, since Embolist looks cool and seems to be quite a nice weapon y'know. Although I don't really like the fact it has a limited effective range if compared to the acrid. I could possibly be wrong about this, since very little info is provided on the wiki :-/

Of you want your stats to look pro, go acrid. If you want to look pro, go embolist. And tell me how it is.

The embolist so far looks like a flux rifle that deals poison damage, from memory 150 damage  per second, acrid deals a bit more damage from memory but its a whole different playstyle

Acrid 

Embolist is currently not worth it according to those who've made and rushed it

Acrid all the way, when fully modded you can 1 shot level 50 enemies.

The acrid is ammo efficient, has a high fire rate, has a fast reload speed, 100% accurate (probably a bug), deals a ton of damage over time if you have high damage and multishot mods (the poison stacks with multishot and damage unlike the torid), and who doesn't like poison dart guns? The only downside is the dart travel speed but it is pretty fast, if you put a ice mod on you won't have to worry about that.

Current cost of both Dual Ichor and Embolist is wayyyy to much, I'd just wait till DE does something about these prices and if they don't just make Acrid first than spend a week making the Mutagen Mass's than 3 days building the Forma and the wep itself if you don't already have em.

The Acrid is not 100% accurate, in fact it's terribly inaccurate. You can easily see the darts diverging at a dozen meters and it's nearly impossible to constantly hit your intended target at more than 25m.

depends, do you want a super bazooka or a water gun? 

[HYPEPHASE]

I'm not going for the latter one, EagleRise :-)

 

Basically you guys are saying that the embolist doesn't really stand this comparison at all. I guess this settles it. Anyway does that mean that the Acrid is actually the best secondary wep out there?

[HollowExistence]

Its the best gun out there

[Phoenix86]

Acrid... no doubts

[Woonagi]

lol. Acrid.

Found a youtube video about the embolist.
