I'm trying to understand the nuances of Magnetize. From this page:

" All hitscan weapons with  Multishot  only have one pellet taken into account for absorbed damage.   Beam weapons like the  Ignis  also are affected by this. "

Also from this page:

" Using beam weapons, such as the  Ignis ,  Atomos ,  Gammacor ,  Quanta, etc. will greatly increase the damage over time generated by the field and the final explosion. "

I'm confused. These are the only two mentions of beam weapons for this ability, but they seem to oppose eachother. And no rationale is given as to why beam weapons would somehow build damage faster. Can someone clarify either of these points?
