Which Fire Rate mod for Dread?

[bat]

Speed trigger, Shred, Vile acceleration...

Why not all of them?

Vile

Due to the fact that most bows, including Dread, already have innate punchthrough on kill, Shred isn't the best choice in my opinion. Apart from that, it's really a matter of personal preference. Which would you rather have - faster fire rate, or more damage per shot? Personally, I use Speed Trigger because I am turned off by the idea of a mod with -damage. Other people's preferences, however, may vary.

Because you would be wasting a mod slot that would be better served by increasing the weapon's damage significantly.

Vile Acceleration , because the -15% damage is easily fixed by other damage mods .

If you're facing enemy levels up to lvl100 (sortie 3), Vile Acceleration. That -15% damage is nothing when facing enemies in this level range. You won't notice the difference.

If you're facing lvl100+ enemies by playing the same endless mission for hours, then Speed Trigger.


Provided of course you have all other mods maxed out and you understand how damage 2.0 works and invested forma in the weapon to reach a high / max modding potential.

just use Speed trigger, no need for Vile acceleration and the +punchthrough is useless from Shred

180% fire rate > 120% fire rate

But would you even see the difference at that point?

vile acceleration lets you fully charge the dreads shots in the blink of an eye speed trigger takes too long and will cost you damage per shot when things get heated... you barely even notice the -15% in all honesty...

Not really.

180% = 0.23 seconds...
120% = 0.29 seconds...

...to fully draw the bow.

Using 3 fire rate mods is unnecessary overkill.

Bows are crit sniper weapons, they do massive damage as it is. The -15% damage from Vile Acceleration is indeed negligible.
