Chrypsis Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Am I the only person that thinks the dread bow is incredibly underrated? I mean, its got really, REALLY high crit multiplier/chance, and above average damage (In my opinion.) I think that if you modded for damage/multishot and gave it insane crit boosts with a critical chance/damage riven it would be really good in 15hour survivals (granted you aren't doing grineer).

taiiat Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 it's pretty overrated, since people have been harping about how it's an "amazing Weapon for applying Slash Status" for years when that's nonsense because it shoots slow with a so-so Status Chance. hilariously, Dread got an upgrade in applying Slash Status when Hunter Munitions came to exist. but now that Dread Rivens are usable, you could get a Riven with Status Chance and that would help Dread be relevant as a Slash Status Weapon.

Chrypsis Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) I just never see them used, that's was what gave me the idea for the post & the thought process of it being underrated.

This. So much THIS. Especially the bolded part about low status chance. The Dread's low status chance is one of the reasons the Daikyu actually has more slash procs than the Dread.

CaffeineTanuki Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Back before any of this status vs crit meta nonsense, Dread was actually a very widely used weapon. If you got one then you had a nice solid single target weapon, perfect for assassinations. But now that all these crit mods have come out, like munitions, argon scope, and bladed rounds, Dread has fallen to the wayside to weapons like Rubico Prime and Vectis Prime, and even the Daikyu ever since its recent buff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0620 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I went to a bow only sortie, 3 Lenz 1 Dread (I was using Lenz), dread is not that popular now. We got better bows to choose from, you cant say it is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000l000 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Il y a 13 heures, (PS4)Quantaminum a dit : Dread isn't underrated. Bows in general are. All weapons are underrated cause most players are only using Ignis Wraith anyway. 😮 Edited October 4, 2019 by 000l000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegecraft Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 in a game where enemy come like zombies there not a lot of player who would like to shoot one enemy at a time when u can nuke a room ya it does lot of damage but in later match armor striping is important but after striping armor any weapon will do high damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzorn Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Dread was king of bows for a long time. It was never underrated. Unfortunately with the addition of Hunter's which Dread gets less value from since Hunter's prevents double Slash procs and Dread also getting the least stat buffs out of all the bows in the recent rework I fear Dread is no longer the king. It got a Charge Speed buff a while back which finally ended the annoying Rakta Cernos Vs Dread debate for good but recently Daikyu now hits for 700 f*&*(^ damage for some reason so that's pretty much game set. I'd be interested to try a -%Impact Rakta Cernos or -%Puncture Paris Prime but outside that it's pretty much Lenz and Daikyu at this point.

I've actually got a riven like that: +109% tox, +107% status, +122% crit damage. That plus 3x dual stat mods (corrosive & cold) gives you a status chance of 77.8% before multishot - not quite the 100% you'd want for such a slow firing weapon, but I suppose it might be good enough.
