DoT effect can't hit weak spots ...

Despair damage on mediu grineer head: 165

Acrid damage on medium grineer head; 25*2+25*0,75*4=125

Same for elemental damage from mods.

So if you always shoot in weakspots with Despair is better than Acrid vs Griners & Corpus.

And anyway Acrid is better than Despair only in one case(with boodyshoots): when you can't kill your target less than in 2 second with Despair, but there is no such target(except bosses) below 100 lvl which cant die less than in 2 second.

So in my opinion Despair is far more usefull than Acrid, even with fact that Acrid have higher DPS on bodyshoots(only after 4 seconds of continuous firing).
