Well, not everybody are power creeps that play only with Soma Prime, Boltor Prime, and Vaykor Marelok.

Playing with God-Tier weapons all the goddamn time gets really boring, that's why people simply forget about existance of those and trying to find something which is both good and fun to use.

Grakata is one of those.

It deals only 1 less damage than Soma Prime, it has crits that only SLIGHTLY less effective than those of soma, butt still higher than average ones, and it also has insane fire rate (bigger than Soma's that is) that doesnt need spin up time and high status chance makeing it perfect for corrosion and viral builds which destroy enemies in seconds, not to mention all those impacts and slashes. Status chance alone is what compensates Grakata against Soma Prime.

Soma is not better than Grakata "by two times". They are almost on the same tier-level, with Grakata following Soma Prime step by step.

TL:DR: Prisma Grakata VS Soma Prime

Damage: 11<12

Crit Chance: 25<30%

Crit Multiplier: 2.5<3.0x

Status Chance: 20>10%

Fire Rate: 21.7 (no spin-up) > 15.0 (with short spin-up)

On closer look you will see that with the same build Grakata will simply out-run Soma by amounts of bullets put in enemy in short period of time, while also procing twice as much procs as Soma do. Soma is not "x2 better" than Grakata. They're basically the same.

You can go now and ask DE to buff Soma Prime to at least 15 damage per bullet now, or buff crits to 35% and 3.5x damage, maybe then Soma will be "twice as good as Grakata".
