dread does only 4k more when using my 30k paris build, then looking at how much damage it will do vs enemies, as in not maximum damage, you all of a sudden see dread ends up having about a 3-5k decrease in damage compared to the paris prime to anything that isnt soft squishy infested flesh (aka dread only does more damage to the low level garbage that can only take about 500 dmg before popping), higher level enemies and/or anything not infested will have armor, meaning that the puncture damage will destroy like no other. before this last event wich gave the 120% puncture damage mod dread had undeniably higher damage (but still only to infested), but now that theres the 120% puncture mod to counter that 120% slash mod, paris has by far better dps if youre doing anything other than hitting enemies that are going to be swarming anyway, which is the worst nightmare of a bow, and seeing as you can just use melee to destroy them anyway.....

TLDR: in theory the dread has higher damage but not in practice, as the only thing it really does more damage to would be something where if you one hit one of them you still have 50 on screen
