I play to end game content...
Your sentiment is flawed, with many weapons you will achieve higher sustained dps by reducing reload times. I solo all the endgame content, far harder than running it coop, and many of my weapon builds use reload mods and or fire rate mods, because that is the best fit for that specifc weapon. Just throwing all the elemental damage on you can fit is a flawed approach and unnecessary.
We have three configurations for weapons and frames (have had for some time) they were added for a reason, and it is no coincidence there are also three factions.
The extra fire rate given by a reload mod can be usefull, and it's usually worth it just for the decreased frustration...
Wave 15 on Ceres is now end game? So, for you every single weapon in the game is end game weapon.
For the original poster:
I use both, Grinlok and Marelok, both potatoed and 4 formas, and suprisingly, I'm using Grinlok more. Marelok is better, but I like the slow pace of Grinlok, It's pretty good for defense missions If you like well aimed shots with Banshee's sonar.
I never said Wave 15 Ceres was 'Endgame' (I think that's a pointless concept), that's just as far as I've taken the Marelok.
What is endgame in a game with no end? At the moment the only way to quantify endgame would be the last possible level to survive on, in which case only the three best weapons are endgame. Obviously this is silly, so perhaps we revise it to the last non-endless mission, the boss on Pluto? But now all weapons are endgame....

You are either a noob...OR...you have no clue what I meant by end game content....and the importance of DPS.....Reload mod will NEVER increase DPS of a weapon over another element or speed trigger...Go to Warframe-builder.com and do as many builds as you like...reload speed has a very small effect on increasing DPS...I read a comment above where someone mention the effect of the Marelok on Defense...I agree..Marelok on Defense is a great weapon...but in Survival mod...where I go 70 mins on appollodorus...or 60 mins on nuovo..(my favorite map)...DPS is key to getting far....Marelok's reload is limits my DPS....so I prefer other side arms over the marelok...Which btw I forma'd 4 times and happen to really love....

Can we play nice?
^^ That DPSa**hole is a pure cliché... And totally wrong.
13:34, April 29, 2014 why is this alive?
How was this even a question in the first place? Grinlok is a sniper rifle, Marelok is a pistol. You are not even comparing apples and oranges, you are comparing apples and cantelope. It's like you all fell for a Troll post.
^um the Grinlok is just a rifle full stop.
and they are like apples and oranges since one is just a shortened version of the other however one is a secondary and teh other is a primary so why not have both?
