here's my response.

First off, the Paris has a base damage of 45, while the Dread's is 60. 33% of 60 is 40, so when you take the armor into account, the Paris does MORE damage than the Dread when one subtracts armor, so there's that. Second, the Dread is ridiculously hard to obtain, being a rare drop from a rarer boss. And then it requires a bunch of materials to craft. Meanwhile, the Paris's blueprint is cheap in the market and requires few materials to craft. Thirdly, the Paris is one of only a few weapons that can effectively headshot human Corpus, something the Dread cannot do. Finally, at higher levels, where enemies have higher armor and health, the Dread's effectiveness really begins to plummet below Paris's, making Paris a better choice for higher levels. But that's just my opinion. You're entitled to your own.
