dread can also headshot just fine. and in most cases the foot is actually easier to hit than the head in the first place. On top of that my Dread has a vastly higher damage per arrow than paris.

Long story short, if you can aim properly and dont mind REALLY trying to land hits properly, Dread will reward you with more damage than the paris will in a given situation. Paris has a bit more leeway as to where you hit stuff, but doesn't have the same damage potential.

As far as I'm concerned the ability to 1 shot a lvl 80ish ancient without split chamber and thunderbolt with a dread MORE than makes up for having to aim slightly better, and after you use it for a  while you end up aiming better without even trying to simply because you adjust after a while.

I want to point out that discounting the polarity slots on Dread because of forma is a terrible idea. The same forma you would use to upgrade a Paris to cancel out that advantage could be used on a Dread to give it that much more killing power, meaning forma for forma, the Dread will still have more polarities unless you max out all the slots.
