Hi, can someone explain why people use gas weapons with saryn? I was trying to get the pieces together, it says this on saryn p spores:

If an infected enemy is being damaged by a    Toxin  proc, popping a spore on that enemy will also spread     Toxin  damage to surrounding enemies. The spore will have  25%  of the initial base damage that triggered the    Toxin  proc

Considering that it is 25% of the initial base damage that triggered the proc, wouldn't it make no difference to use toxin vs gas in a certain weapon to pop spores?
