Primed Cyro Rounds vs Grineer on Dread/crit only weapons?

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

I currently run a quite simple build on my Dread:

Serration+Split Chamber 

Vital Sense+Point Strike 

Speed Trigger 

2 Elemental mods 

Bladed Rounds 

 

Now, I'd love to use Primed Cyro Round, but since I use Corrosive damage, I guess the only way to fit it in the build would be swapping with Bladed Rounds. 

Question is: what do you think it's best between the 2 in terms of raw damage? 

Should I consider another elemental combo? If so, just note that I play solo/puga a lot so I can barely count on 1 CP,  if any at all(have Steel Charge on my main frame).

u will get more consistent dmg...165% is big deal...

It is definitely compared to a 90% elemental, but is it compared to a 120% crit damage(even if situational)?

You don't have to sacrifice any build options on crit primaries with Primed Cryo Rounds. You simply need V x6 -- x1 and D x1.

Cryo doesn't really give more damage than Bladed Rounds, it gives slightly more damage per shot against Alloy and less against Ferrite,  Once you factor Bleed damage from anything that actually survives I don't believe it's actually better against either. Primed Cryo has a Cold proc weight of 22% on Dread, which means 22% less Bleed/Corrosive procs.

Dread Corrosive + Bladed
Charge Damage 200, Crit 50% x2, Status 20%
200 * 2.65 = 530 Base Damage (477 Slash)
530 * 1.8 = 954 Corrosive Damage
1,484 * 1.9 = 2,819.6 w/ Multi Shot
Crit 0.5 * 2.5 = 1.25 = 125%
Crit Multiplier 2.0 * 3.4 = 6.8
Damage per Shot = 2,819.6 * ( 1 + ( 1 - 6.8) * 1.25 ) = 23,261.7
Damage per Shot Ferrite = [(477 * 0.85) + 53 + (954 * 1.75)] * 8.25 = 17,555.59
Damage per SHot Alloy = [(477 * 0.5) + 53 + 954 ] * 8.25 = 10,275.375

Dread Corrosive + P.Cryo
Charge Damage 200, Crit 50% x2, Status 20%
200 * 2.65 = 530 Base Damage (477 Slash)
530 * 1.8 = 954 Corrosive Damage
530 * 1.65 = 874.5 Cold Damage
2,358.5 * 1.9 = 4,481.15 w/ Multi Shot
Crit 0.5 * 2.5 = 1.25 = 125%
Crit Multiplier 2.0 * 2.2 = 4.4
Damage per Shot = 4,481.15 * ( 1 + ( 1 - 4.4) * 1.25 ) = 23,526.04
Damage per Shot Ferrite = [(477 * 0.85) + 53 + (954 * 1.75) + 874.5 ] * 5.25 = 15,762.76
Damage per Shot Alloy = [(477 * 0.5) + 53 + 954 + (874.5 * 1.25) ] * 5.25 = 12,277.78

If you don't want to zoom, I'd go with a Primed Bane.

That's the power of slash procs.

Wait until you discover what the Atterax can do.

Instead of using Nova, try a Banshee going Sonar Build.... the numbers soar when you hit those spots... especially if 2 spots stack on each other
