Vaykor Marelok: status or hybrid build?

[bAllu]

Which one is better on the V. Marelok?

[Sithis]

Personally, I use a hybrid (with Primed Pistol Gambit and Target Cracker), and it works well enough for me to be easily usable on Level100 enemies. Can't say I've personally tried it in more pressing conditions, but it definitely works well anyway.

I use hybrid. Even in that build I managed to get 90% status chance.

Was my go-to secondary for a long time.

Mine is at 88.3-something, and could've been more if I had another elemental damage + status chance mod in place of my multishot-damage riven (used that mod until I got said riven).

Yeah I don't have a Riven so it makes sense.

I'd put Primed Pistol Gambit, Primed Target Cracker, Convulsion, Pistol Pestilence, Hornet Stike, Barrel Diffusion, Lethal Torrent and Primed Heated Charge, if you have access to all of that stuff. That should put you at around 90% status/shot, with a 3.2x60% crits and base damage of about 5k Corrosive, 5,2k Fire and 2k Impact, 1k Slash. In fact, my current mod loadout is inferior to that, and I should take care of that as well.

I'm using exactly that, except maybe Jolt instead of Convulsion?

It's been ages since I equipped my V.Marelok.

EDIT: yeah I have Jolt and Pathogen Rounds and it gives me exactly 90% status.

It's the one pistol you can build crit, hybrid or status and it will happily do sortie 3 stuff for you.

Beyond that level of difficulty you need to focus status but there is nothing currently in game at that level unless you choose to run extended endless missions.

I personally run hybrid just gives me the flexibility when I'm lazy to sort out a load out.

None of the above, ditch the mare's leg and git you sum 6 shootas!

Likewise, and it was my favorite handcannon. I should give mine another roll, too.

Mare's Leg is classy; also, I definitely will get a proper revolver as soon as we get one with as much power to its sound as this gun has.

Personal preferences. I don't like their sound, I don't find them powerful enough in gameplay (not usable, mind you, I know they can be fairly decend in DPS, but I strongly prefer weapons with more damage per hit, even if their DPS is the same), and... Eh. There are two of them, and I want a single powerful handcannon.

Fair enough

Two of the three issues still stay - sound and per-bullet impact. But yeah, it's kinda nice anyways, yet I still prefer Marelok.
