How good can this Riven mod actually be?

[Gorila_Azul]

Now, the only reason I think it might be good is because I know fire rate increases status/sec on weapons with continuous fire like the Flux Rifle. And the increase in maximum ammo might counter it becoming a little more ammo hungry.

Thing is, I've never even built the Flux Rifle. Do you think it will be worth the credits and endo or should I just try to reroll it?

I mean, it COULD be good as it at least increases your ammo. So theoretically it counters its poor ammo economy.

If you haven't even built a Flux Rifle yet, you may want to try it first.

Try it, and see if you like it. That's the only metric that matters.

It also increases damage.

No, it does not simply 'increase your damage'. This is misleading.

It will increase DPS in specific circumstances. It also reduces your time to kill.

a full magazine of a weapon used to kill an enemy in 3 secs vs 2 secs does not mean it did more damage, it just delivered the same damage faster.

Get your point, it actually increases the damage per second at the expense of ammo spent much like a Shred does for an auto rifle. Good note.
