"Hikou has more burst & sustained DPS. (Assuming do to its status chance) "

dps does not take into account status chance, it just means that hikou does more damage in a second

"but when considering a proc-build you could even go for viral and radiation, which are more useful, I think."

actually, due to hikou prime's status chance and fire rate it is one of the few weapons that should go corrosive, as it can proc corrosive enough to shred useful amounts of armour. Rad/viral is better on weapons which will proc once or twice before killing their target as both elements only need to be proc'd once to be effective.

"They are about even, simply another case of the Dread vs Paris Prime argument. I say they are even. " not true, hikou prime are almost flat better as they have better dps and far better status, without sacrificing too much ammo economy.

"Despair - http://goo.gl/IVu2jF

Hikou Prime - http://goo.gl/QClaeC " good builds, more for hikou prime though then despair, despair should not be used in void survivals (pretty much the only time builds really matter) due to its low proc (<1 per second) during low survivals proc matters a lot (either halving the enemy's health with viral or removing armour as a factor with corrosive).
