Yes, damage 2.0 was kinda a Nerf to this weapon, but it was needed. But saying the weapon is no longer doing anything is just wrong.

Throw in Hornet Strike, Multishot, Toxic damage and Electric damage maxed and the weapon becomes useful again. Sure it's bad, but would the base damage be higher or the dot scale with the attached elemental, it would be again broken as hell.

The reason I say this is how the stacking of base elemental damage works. Normally you have Physical damage + Hornet Strike + Elemental. For the Acrid it is Toxic damage mod + Combined Elemental + Hornet Strike + third and fourth Elemental.

Now what does this mean? 20 + 180%(Panthegon+Convusion)=56 + 220%(Hornet Stikre)=179,2

After Multishot that's 358,4 damage of pure corrosive. Something you can easily get with a Potato alone. Now would this % based be a dot again it would just Melt Grineer.
