Mutalist Cernos...

[Wretched little man]

Is it worth giving up my cernos I'm able to one shot enemies on pluto with?

XD

Yes, because the basic Cernos is pretty much the worst bow (barring the mk1 paris).

But Rakta Cernos is the best one

It's worth to give it up, but not for this garbage. Holy trinity of bows is:

Dread - slash
Paris Prime - puncture
Rakta Cernos - impact

[Wretched little man]

aight I'll just keep it until I'm mr 12 for that rakta cernos

It has a 15% crit chance. So no. Innate gas proc can probably be useful. But you can't add it to a decent impact based build, and you don't have enough mods to increase the base modified damage to fill two new slots. And 25 extra base damage doesn't shift things all that much. The same for adding to the poison proc - you can already gain an almost as heavy gas proc on the regular bow, with a similar stat% if you create a stat build. So you'd basically end up with free slots (for an extra or different type of proc) and for example a 90% crit chance or higher. And trade that for heavier crits.

It probably has the heaviest poison proc/base poison damage for any weapon in the game, though. So if you want to have something that both hits shields very hard, as well as probably kills the target's health if the shields didn't disappear, then it could be useful in that sense. Poison also does have a bonus against armor and flesh-type enemies, so.. might be useful if you go that route.

Debatable regarding Dread.

Rakta Cernos beats Dread, the calculations were made. However, if Rakta Cernos did not have the proc, it would lose to Dread. So it's not really debatable unless they nerf the proc, otherwise Rakta Cernos is still the winner in overall damage.

Why not just build another cernos and use the unranked weapon as the component?

Exactly this.

[Frastey]

Mutalist Cernos alarms enemies. Don't craft it if you usually use bows to stealth.

I would but I don't want to waste 24 hours for an apperent trash weapon

RIP this guy he thinks killing things on pluto is what matters in a weapon XD

[retroquark]

Blerghblergh. :p It was an informed observation about how an impact weapon is still effective against shielded enemies. And if it really was worth it to switch it out with a poison-based weapon (that is technically more effective, etc).

It's.. something like this: you don't raise the cutoff for the weapon on sorties and 30min+ t4 survival by very much by going from a crit-build cernos to a poison cernos. And it's only /maybe/ the case that the new corrupted cernos is much better than a normal cernos. While it's probably not going to last longer than a crit-based cernos. The aoe is probably useful, but situational. Etc.

[WalterREQUiEM]

IT's absolutely better than the regular cernos but still not as good as the Rakta.
