Riven mods for Sicarus, multishot vs raw damage

[(PSN)AizazyT]

Hi all,

Pretty new to this, rivens as well as the forums. I'm not a regular user of Sicarus prime, but I got this riven and after some research I found the gun had been buffed. Started rerolling and came across this choice. Bit stupid of me not to level the riven up fully but the damage was at around 300 percent when maxed when I checked for the first riven. Any advice? Btw this is going to be used on Sicarus Prime.

Thanks

 

FIRST RIVEN

+34.5% DMG, +14.2% HEAT

SECOND RIVEN

+10.2% ELECTRICITY, +15.9% MULTISHOT, +10.7% STATUS CHANCE

Neither have been upgraded at all

Base Damage will benefit everything, so I'd say the 1st one.

Multi shot means you have the chance to fire extra shots each time though

 

Depending on the total combined %, Multishot should do more for you

 

What % was the multishot riven mod maxed?

This is where my stupidity comes in. Im currently on the screen where I have to confirm the roll, my riven mods r on rank 0. Unless theres a way I can check the max rank stats of the riven without confirming, I can't check the max rank stats of the second roll.

multishot can double your damage. Id probably go for that

You simply multiply un-ranked riven stat by 9.

Keep 1st, you'll end up with more damage.

Dam builder isn't saving riven mods to show difference

Is it really that simple? Just times it by 9. That makes my life easier. So 1st it is then? Does status chance not affect anything?

Yeah, in short, you take max rank of your mod, add 1(to represent rank 0) and that's what you use to multiply. So for any rank 10 mod use 11. ex Vitality: 11 * 40% Health = 440% health. Same with Rivens except you multiply by 9 because they are rank 8. Sometimes the ui displays a bit different amount but that might be because of rounding. Also there are some mods with exceptions, for example the increase is half of the base stat.

Status is good for slash weapons, or if you want to build gas. You can also use corrosive proc to remove armor but you'll still have decent status chance with 1st mod anyways.
