Does this Riven make the Mutalist Cernos any good?

[(PSN)subdermal13]

Got my first riven today, and it's for a bow I don't really know much about, as I don't even own it yet. The riven seems pretty awesome, but I don't know how well it'll mesh with a status bow, so looking for some input. 

Maxed out, the roll is

+58% to Reload

+163% Crit Chance

+168% Damage

-47% Magazine Capacity

 

What, if any, would be a good build to go with this mod? The damage seems really good, but with the MC's low crit chance, will this mod help that at all? 

 

Thanks for any feedback

It's not bad, actually. You won't be able to red crit with this, but with the addition of Point Strike and Vital Sense the damage should be noticeably higher than a full elemental/damage build, and the magazine capacity penalty does nothing (since bows don't have magazines). The build I'd make would be this https://goo.gl/VR4EzZ

Obviously nothing stops you from trying to recycle it hoping for better stats

It would be very good.   As in the above posts build, a standard crit build and 3 slots for alternate mods.   IE 2 toxin and corpus ban, 3 elemental. etc.   Based on what you are fighting.   Those crits also work on its Toxin secondary fire.

That would be amazing for the bow because magazine capacity shouldn't affect it to much.

Your riven is better than mine...I just have critical damage and electric and mines does just fine although I also use it with Saryn and a smeeta which I'm sure helps it stand out

The only thing that works for the mutalist cernos on that mod is really the damage and the negative does nothing. Crit chance only get's it up to what, 38%? Not very consistent on a 1 shot weapon. Reload on a bow is a wasted stat as well. I'd reroll until you get something status related, but that's just me.

Its plenty goos even without this riven. I mod mine to be a gas proc weapon and use it with my poison saryn. Pop off gas and poison procs and everything dies.

Thanks for the feedback all! DE doesnt really do a good job explaining rivens and rerolling. From the videos I've seen, I can reroll and if I don't like it,I can still keep the original, right? And does the Kuva cost keep growing or cap out at 3500? I've seen both..

 

I crafted and leveled the Cernos, so now I have the Mutalist cooking. Can't wait to try it out.

 

Edit - Did the Mutalist get a buff. I'm hearing conflicting video on if the gas clouds proc other status, or just the base gas.

Thats a superb Riven, the only thing which could make it better is getting multishot instead of pure damage. Plus that 60% crit chance when fully modded is gonna be killer.
