Dealing with rivens is sometimes so misleading, you can find a "god roll" only to realize that it actually isn't as good as you thought, and that another with not so great stats turns out to be better. I've seen this a few times, especially with Opticor Rivens.

I always wanted a CC/CD/Dmg/neg Sybaris Riven and today I finally found one. Turns out that it wasn't as good, these are the stats for both rivens:

"God Roll"         1118.4 CC / 96.9 CD / 129.4 Dmg / -28.9% Dmg to Corpus My old Riven:    109.7 CD / 82.3 Toxin / 82.8 MS / -40.6 Zoom

Well, turns out that when fully moded for HM+Viral, the difference in raw DPS is about 2.5%, the old riven has better status chance and of course a much better curse. But the real kicker is that due to it's innate Toxin dmg, it allows me to use Vigilante Armaments, wich in turn gives me a chance to shoot up to 8 bullets, which translates to more chances to proc Hm (0.35 procs per shot or 30% more chances of procing in one shot). In the end MS gives more consistent dmg than CC, who would've imagine it (for sybaris prime that is). Slash procs from the "god roll" are stronger, but consistency does matter.

Market wise, my old riven prob won't reach 1k, while the "god roll" will easily sell for more than 3k, what a joke.
