Which Akstiletto Riven should I use?

Howdy Tenno!

Am currently using this Riven A.

Recently got this new Riven B and am wondering which one is better.



 

On paper (WF Builder), A seems better but I read somewhere that WF Builder doesn't handle Crit computations well (for B), so here I am tapping on the collective wisdom of the Tenno Community! 

Keep your comments and advice flowing! Thank you so much in advance!

Second for me, since the I use Akstilletto P  with a hybrid crit/status build, so the -status chance on the first would hurt it

Would replacing pure element mods with dual stat ones better cushion the impact of the -ve status chance? Just theory-crafting here.

Well at a glace the first would be better for Infested/Corpus while the 2nd would be better with armor.

Builder works fine mostly. But in this case you might want to know the head-shot DPS of both to compare since the additional crit does not factor the x4 head-crit modifier. Which would make their DPS when scoring head-shots a little closer than on paper. You'd also want to prolly calculate your expected status trigger per shot to see just how much the -%status is affecting the mod which can't be done with builder either.

if u want to use it as pure dmg A if u want to apply status with akstiletto's amazing status choose B

[Kuestenjung]

Personally I would reroll both

1. because of - status chance
2. because of - impact, cause AkStiletto are mainly impact

= 12,146.9014 Damage per Shot or 164,942.774 Burst DPS
Riven A Status
0.6315048 Expected Status Trigger per shot
Corrosive Weight 233.1965 / 751.4105 = 0.3104 = 31.04%
Expected Corrosive Status Trigger per Second
0.3104 * 0.6315048 * 13.579 = 2.66

Riven B Head-shot Damage

On builder Riven A has 20% more Burst DPS than Riven B. With Head-crit modifiers it has 14% more.

Sustained DPS would be even closer given the 1s reload, small mag size and that Riven A burns through the mag faster. If you notice the avg head-shot damage of Riven B is actually higher than Riven A before fire rate is taken into consideration. Riven B will give you 0.705 more Corrosive procs per second.

Thanks pal! This is awesome stuff there. Let me digest the maths and all.
