What? And I can hit 4k per bullet with an Akstiletto Prime or Aksomati and part groups without even equipping Seeker. With my Spira Prime, I do far more damage with crit/corrosive than crit/heat/seeker and clean groups faster.

I've also got the Vectis Prime, catalyst of course, and it can do 30k, 50k, 100k. Of course, my Lex Prime can do 15k or 20k, but not often beyond that. I don't use Shred or Metal Auger on my Vectis Prime, because I'm not going to be clearing groups with it, that's the job of a high RoF weapon which doesn't require precise lining of shots. With the Lex Prime, that high RoF counterpart could be a Braton Prime, Soma Prime or Boltor Prime, depending on your preference, modded with Shred.

Of course then we get to the point that I think: Why would I bother using the Lex Prime for single target DPS when I could use the Spira Prime, which has far higher DPS, is sustained DPS and can clear groups due to its fire rate and reload speed?

Now, if you want to get around that by using a Lex Prime with Seeker, then you'd be suggesting that the Primary weapon would somehow need to do what? What ethos does your primary revolve around to compliment a Seeker-based Lex Prime? It sure as shit isn't going to be an Assault Rifle with Shred, given that your Seeker Lex Prime already has that "covered", it also won't be a Vectis Prime, because your Lex Prime has the single target DPS covered. Then you just analyse the situation closely and realise that an Assault Rifle with Shred clears groups better than the Lex Prime, and that the Vectis Prime has far better single target DPS than the Lex Prime, so why use the Lex Prime? It just reduces back to using another weapon every time you try to build your loadout properly.
