paris or mk1 paris is better

[xx]

I want to try and buy a bow, I find out that mk1 paris' damage is weaker but chaging time and reload time is much much faster than paris, so which one is better

if that speed increase makes the DPS higher than the one with higher base damage then you get speed.

go with the paris, it has a charge and reload time similar to the paris prime (which you will probably get if you like bows because its super powerful, or you may prefer the (Dr) DREad)

I'd suggest leveling up the MK1-Paris to level 30 for the Mastery Rank, and then get the regular Paris.

lvl 30 the mk1 then get the normal paris because you can do so much with that 30% (i modded my to the point where i get crits 75% of the time and you can easily fix the fire rate with a mod because i got mine down to .6 charge up time )

*All* the Mk1 weapons are inferior versions of the regular weapon. But they can be bought for credits.

Get the MK1, level it up for Mastery, sell it, get the regular version. Don't waste plat for a slot for it though.

The Paris is far superior to the Paris Mk1 because of it's higher damage. Damage mods (such as Serration) scale damage by percentage, therefore the higher the number it begins with, the larger the boost. With the right mods fitted, the Paris can do double or more damage than the same mods fitted to a Mk1, negating the loss of reload speed.
Along with this, higher damage also increases the chance of killing an enemy in a single shot. Since bows are silent you can use them to gain massive affinity boosts from stealth kills to rapidly level up your equipment (level 20 corpus missions for instance, you can get around 2000 affinity per kill on some moas), as well as easily run spy missions which offer huge affinity bonuses for aquiring data without being spotted.

If the firing and pull-back speed on the Paris bothers you, you can use fire rate and reload speed mods to speed those up significantly.

But others suggestions are a good one to go with. Get the Mk1, level it to 30, then trash it and use the Paris, then later on run some void missions or buy some platinum and check in trading to get hold of the Paris Prime, which is one of the few weapons in the game capable of red crits and is even able to 1-shot some bosses making for speedy resource and frame farming.

Daikyu is a... weird one. As a status weapon it's amazing, but it's damage is on par with Cernos, which is not very good. I wish it still had crit AND status. Long loading animation can stay.
