Even with all these stats and numbers on max damage potential, I still think the x3 infested damage should be substituted with innate armor pen. I'm a Paris user myself, got it up to 30 and used it for a while, and then I got my hands on the Dread. Now the Dread is a good weapon, don't get me wrong, but isn't it a bit silly to have a bow for a specialized infested weapon? I think the Dread should be a good all around weapon, not a weapon based on one faction. If you look at the Paris, it's not specialized to one faction, so why should the Dread have that fate? Giving it armor pen would just make it the standard thing for bows to have, which I think should happen. It's unique and makes people want to give the bow playstyle a try, but when you can only use a weapon to its full potential on just infested it turns people away.

And to the other Paris users who are against armor pen because you don't have the Dread yet, I get it, trust me, I've been using one. I'm not going to sell my Paris either, because I used it and loved it, and now that I have finally encountered the Stalker and managed to kill him, and by chance he dropped the Dread BP, I want to use and love my Dread just like I did with my Paris. When you focus a weapon specialized for headshots on infested which tend to run in huge ass packs, it just seems to be a waste.
