Help me chose between these 2 Dread Riven mods

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Which one do you think is overall better? 

I personally think it could be the crit dmg+crit chance as it pushes the Dread to perma red crit which doubles the crit damage already; the multishot loss is annoying, but I still have half chance to fire 2 arrows equipping Split Chamber.

The second one tho has 3 bonus stats with no malus and they're all solid.

What do you guys think?

[Gwenwed]

Crit crit crit and super crits!

[Sajochi]

The second one. Having a guaranteed crit with the base critical chance mod (name escapes me atm)  makes crit damage a nice thing, and more base damage pretty much adds to it, moreso than perma-red crits. Higher status for slash prices too. Second one hands down.

[Arxfiend]

I think Dread maxes out at 125% crit chance. Even then, that's a lot of damage on that second one.

[BansheePrime]

The ultimate question... can negative multishot give you a chance to not shoot ANY projectiles?

Bottom one, for when you want crits with your crits. A question though, does Riven mods work with exalted abilities? Because Ivara says hello.

The first one pushes me at about 190% crit chance, so I basically red crit every arrow.

I cant test it but what would be the status chance with the second mod and dual stat mods? The slash procs from the seond mod might be really nice but I guess just 58% more status wont be such a great difference.

If I recall correctly 2 dual stats mods would give the Dread a 50% status chance, with the Riven mod I'd get about 70%.

Early on till a certain level, just the power of the first mod will one shot anything. After a certain level I guess that reliable slash procs from the second mod will be better. 

Nice mods by the way man... lol

[taiiat]

the one that doesn't reduce Multi-shot is much more practical.

while you will sometimes spike super high with the first one, is it really worth making your Weapon deal very inconsistent Damage per Shot?

[Teloch]

Second one.

Bleed. So much bleeding...

[-BM-Mitz]

I'd take the second for end game bleed, can one shot way more and carry you through way more than even a rakta cernos can.

May I ask if you can equip 2 Rivens for the same weapon? Also, real jelly of those sweet mods ;)

2nd mod, base dmg is underrated but ppl forget its the base for crits to multiply on, dread is already above 100% crit chance and the -multishot decreases crit dmg cause it lowers base it calculates on, second adds full dmg even tho it doesnt add crit chance, but it doesnt rly need that to begin with

id even take it over the crit one if it was +multishot +base dmg +elemental dmg because the crit multiplier has such a much bigger basis to calculate upon, did similar maths on 2 soma mods where i had one with crit dmg/chance only and one with base dmg/multishot, basedmg/multishot one was better even with crits, only red crits won the number-war

so, pretty easy choice imo, 2nd one over 1st one

@Major_Phantom no you cant add 2 rivens on 1 weapon, they count as the same mod even if name and stats differe, similar to a base mod and its primed version also count as the same mod and cant be equipped at the same time, only primed chamber being an exception afaik.

[Monsterwithin]

Second one forsure.

[--RV--arm4geddon-117]

I love slash procs and procs in general, i vote for the 2nd mod, hands down

[Vactro]

Second

[S0V3REiGN]

2nd one as everyone else has said. The first one looks more "sexy" but the 2nd one should be more damage overall.

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Thanks to everyone for the answers, second mod it is then! 

Another question: with that and a dual stat mod I reach 66% status chance, do you think it's enough or I should put a second elemental as dual stats too? 

I'm asking because I'd love to put in Primed Cyro Rounds, but I have only 2 slots for elemental mods so I'm trying to decide if I should go full status ones or not! 

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Also, is the second mod in the OP better than this one too in your opinion? 

[(PSN)CoolD2108]

I'd go with status...the dread is nice, like rly nice, but what sells slash in higher levels is the slash status which is finisher damage.

They are about even. This would be a case of which you prefer more: the second one in the op for high level bow sorties, this current one for basic runs just to see how high your red crit is.

Yea well, considering I've been asked to spend 5k plat for the last mod I posted, I'll just stick to the second one in the OP. 

Since you seem very competent on the subject(thank you!), mind answering to the Cyro Rounds vs Dual Stats mod post above? 

Thanks!!

Nowhere near even - a 53% multishot basically means 53% more independent dmg AND 53% more status. Put split chamber on an unmodded dread and see it for yourself.
