0 (XBOX)TheMadCash Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Daikyu with a heatshot & crits show some big numbers. But Dread has some big numbers also. Honestly I can't decide between Dread, Daikyu, & Rackta Cernos. Seen some good number on all of them. Paris p haven't really impressed me. I don't use it often.

0 -dicht.ThanksFrost- Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dread for endgame content +Great damage +Inate Slash +Red Crits and its fast Daikyu is bad, rakta is okay but does not compete with dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Raso719 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dread for big numbers on one or a few dudes at at time. Rakta Cernoa for good numbers on a bunch of dudea in rapid succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)robotwars7 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dread scores big, and you can get Red numbers, which are always nice to see. my second favourite is the Rakta Cernos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daikyu is awesome. It doesn't stand a chance up with the dread but Daikyu has great dmg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krymanol Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dread does biggest damage on just about any enemy, red crits are where it's at. 125% crit chance is nice, but 149% crit chance is nicer, though have to drop a damage mod for that which probably isn't worth it at end game.

0 (PSN)Sybaris- Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Dread without red crit does less pure damage than Rakta Cernos Edited January 8, 2016 by (PS4)seannowxxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RagingGrizzly Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) These are some screenshots I got from using the bows I have with Radiation damage versus lvl 30 Corrupted Bombards. These are the consistent numbers I got. Daikyu. (Non-crit) (Disclaimer. I haven't put forma on it to see it's full potential.) Daikyu (Critical) Dread Paris Prime Rakta Cernos (Disclaimer. I have not added any forma to this either.) Seems like the Cernos is in the lead in the regular Critical category by having the highest base damage to make the elementals better, but the Dread takes the cake when those red crits come into play, same with Paris Prime but not as much. They're all pretty good bows, I guess it all comes down to preference for them. I'll test again when I add sufficient forma to all of them.

I think the Rakta Cernos is either tied with the Dread or is better. The Rakta Cernos makes up for its shortcomings with not being able to have Red Criticals in speed and the blight effect. I'll continue testing. (And Formaing) Edited January 9, 2016 by PUR3K1LL3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 (XBOX)BULLS 0N PAR4DE Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Dread hits the hardest with a critical on a critical(red numbers) R. Cernos would be second with very good numbers plus the buff from Red Veil which is a viral proc and +25 base energy it is also the fastest drawing bow Daikyu is nice has the 3rd best numbers for me but is really slow to fire. Paris P... been so long and I never put forma on it to say anything to better the conversation..... All my bows have at least 4 forma installed BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 (XBOX)BULLS 0N PAR4DE Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 OK so running some quick tests and I'm going to maybe change things around but the OP needs to be a little more exact on what is mean t by BIG NUMBERS.. Pure damage/crit builds or elemental/crit/status builds/// My quick test pulled some interesting numbers based on what kind of build I did.

0 Tesseract7777 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Dread might give you more damage per shot overall, but Rakta Cernos will hit a lot more because it has such a fast charge rate. And that syndicate proc is really useful. It's more of a preference thing. Both are amazing bows and on par with each other. Rakta Cernos is more desirable when dealing with a horde of enemies due to it's fast charge rate. But if you are just looking for the biggest numbers per shot, then go for the Dread. Having both doesn't hurt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rakta Cernos is more desirable when dealing with a horde of enemies due to it's fast charge rate. But if you are just looking for the biggest numbers per shot, then go for the Dread. Having both doesn't hurt though. That's the big misconception. Rakta Cernos actually has a higher average damage per hit, even counting Dread red crits. Dread should be able to make a bigger number, but Rakta's are bigger on average. And if you count the sniper skinned bow, Lanka, a bow, it technically wins the "biggest numbers" contest.

0 TARINunit9 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) According to the numbercrunchers:Paris Prime has the best damage below level 90. After level 90, Dread catches up. IIRC they said Daikyu doesn't even come close, and this was before they could test Rakta Cernos properly EDIT: Apparently Rakta Cernos in the very-endgame wins out because you don't need to have Speed Trigger (or Vile Acceleration, but seriously why would-), freeing up a mod slot for more damage mods Edited January 9, 2016 by TARINunit9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chipputer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Dread does the highest damage of the bows, in a sense of per arrow, per headshot, overall. If you want big numbers, go with headshots with a Dread modded for high base damage, elemental, crit, and crit damage. That should answer your actual question.

0 RIOT Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 biggest number?probably a red crit from a dread.highest overall dps?rakta cernos hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flumi94 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Currently forma-ing my daikyu and the crits are insanely high. Now the downside tho, it's a status bow. 38% crit chance is very inconsistent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 saltygr33n Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Rakta Cernos is so darn fast, I just LOVE using it. I don't care about damage wise, I just care about releasing the arrow as fast as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
