I disagree, while the paris has a lower base crit damage, it still does have armor ignore which does greatly increse it's damage on Corpus crewmen and pretty much everythign Grineer AND Infested ancients all of which the dread see's 0 increaded damage toward. IF it's trualy straigh up damage you want then the Paris truely shines vs those enemies.

I will conceed however that the dread has better base polarities( 2 V polarities vs the paris's single line polarity) but at no time is a Line polarity a bad one. Infact with Armor Pierce mod in that slot you further your damage versus the enemies you already slaughter. And if you really wanted you could also forma.

With the same mods the paris will generally deal higher DPS vs anything but Light Infested. Once you get to late wave Infested defence though it's effectiveness will drop off. VS any other faction and the paris wins again.
