[DE]Momaw Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Grinlok's one extra shot in the mag does not come even close to the raw killing power of Sybaris. Unless you have a raging lust for awkward looking Grineer weapons, it's an easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hijinks_the_turtle Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Lex Prime I have LP thank you very much. XD Grinlok's one extra shot in the mag does not come even close to the raw killing power of Sybaris. Unless you have a raging lust for awkward looking Grineer weapons, it's an easy choice. This is actually a hard choice for me since I like Grineer, Tenno, and Corpus aesthetics. lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celle-Reveris Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Personally I prefer Grinlok, for no statistical reason I just like how it feels and looks more than Sybaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayoshi Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The first time I put my hands on grimlock, it felt slow, awkward, didn't pack the punch that I thought it would, after some time, I decided to put a catalyst on it to see what it could be, a new path opened after I made it faster, but something was missing...then I noticed it's potential as a status weapon. Sybaris on the other hand, had everything I felt was missing from grimlock from the start, with a catalyst it went even further, but on the other hand....it was a crit weapon. Both have it's pros and cons, but in the end, marelok still is a better grimlok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero.No.Hikari Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Having used both, I say Sybaris if you want something that feels fast and has a powerful punch, Grinlok is more of a slow marksman rifle with procs, kinda like a weaker Latron but higher proc rate.

Monolake Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sybaris is something like twice better. But you need to forma it for a proper crit build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijinks_the_turtle Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Personally I prefer Grinlok, for no statistical reason I just like how it feels and looks more than Sybaris I truly like how Grinlok looks, it has that cool rugged look that I just can't find in the other two factions.

Both have it's pros and cons, but in the end, marelok still is a better grimlok. I thought status chance was something that's more valuable in high tier gameplay? Hm... Which is better for long survival runs? The status or the crit? Sybaris is something like twice better. But you need to forma it for a proper crit build How many formas? Only got one left so far just to build the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynick Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 5 Forma is what it needs in order to reach its potential. It is expensive and requires a lot of effort, so make sure you love the gun. Once maxed out though it has some EXTREME burst damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quizel Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sybaris has far more potential. After quickly dumping the clip the reload is painful, but the burst of the weapon is solid. But I enjoy using Grinlok more D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got one left so far just to build the weapon. Grimlock can get near 100% status change, while Sybaris gets around 75% crit, because of the crit multiplier Sybaris can have higher damage, but on the other hand, Grimlock can weaken enemies(corrosive/virus) or have some crowd control(blast/cold/etc). As I stated before, both have it's pros and cons, it will depend on your gameplay style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnin Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Sybaris seems stronger; I looked at both and made sybaris over grin. The wiki / comparison info is a little misleading. The grinlok does more damage PER SHOT. But sy shoots 2 per trigger pull. So every "shot" does twice what is listed, and the total is > grinlok. Couple that with the significantly higher crit chance and the sy should pull ahead in raw dps; nearly every shot should contain a critical hit if you install a half or better ranked crit mod. At the same time that means sy effectively has only a 5 round mag. On top of that sy has decent values for all 3 physical damage types so it works reasonably on any enemy -- and tailored to be strong vs any enemy with elements but you could also consider puncture mod when facing grineer or the like. the only advantage grinlok has is the status chance. There is a place for that, but its not as general purpose as a dps setup. I suppose you can also say the grinlok can be tailored to do better vs corpus, slightly.
