Vital Sense or Point Strike?

[Desphael]

So.. What i see. Maxed Common Point Strike - 150%, Maxed Rare Vital Sense - 120%. So can anyone explain me why are there 2 crit mods for rifles? Let alone the fact that they make no sense on numbers at all, commong being better than rare

1 increases the crit chance the other increases the crit dmg. the 120% or 150% etc increases the base crit dmg or crit chance of the weapon
there are also more than 2 crit mods for rifles. These crit mods are mainly for crit build weapons like soma, synapse etc. Without them the weapons are garbage but with them they are the best dps weapons in the game.

Oh right! dmg and chance, didn't notice :D just got Soma and was looking which one to use, since it has 2 v polarities. And i have Shred too ready for it, with v too. I see now, thanks :)

There are a number of mods that do the same thing though. Most of them have the rare provide a larger benefit, but with fewer levels.

Hammershot and Point Strike would be more similar in terms of adding crit damage, but mods like Hammershot and Heavy Calibur are more of a supplemental thing than putting on top of the normal mods, since they cost a lot more for much less of the effect.

Besides the crit-reliant weapons, bows like the Dread & Paris also benefit a lot from these two mods because they have high crit chances. This allows you to put out crit damage more often (e.g. Dread can reach 100% crit chance with just a Rank 3 Point Strike).
Be sure to charge the arrows before firing, or else the crits won't happen :P
