Talk:Damage 2.0/Gas Damage/@comment-216.229.21.80-20150830080238

Near useless as far as I'm concerned.

Do not even bother using it against it's intended target - horde-type infested enemies..the chargers, leapers and crawlers...

They are easily enough dispatched by pretty much any weapon as their given armor rating is piss poor at even high levels, and a strong weapon will make short work of them.

What you want is Corrosive / Blast to better deal with the wider array of larger infested enemies that are far more irritating and dangerous enemeis, especially the Ancients. Also, if this is with a weapon that has a high status chance, Blast is more useful anyway for Crowd Control against the infested.

Hell, Corrosive and HEAT is actually even still better than trying to use Gas damage against the infested and you find your out of mod points.

and Finially, the last nail in the coffin for Gas damage's uselessness : the larger infested enemies (those that are Fossilized) are 50% resistant to Toxic damage - the damage type the actual gas-cloud proc deals to enemies.

As well, when building for Corpus, forgo the gas proc and just double up Toxic damage if at all possible - since the Corpus typically don't fight in as large of numbers...if the gas cloud does actually proc on a target usually they're too far away from their fellow corpus to really have it matter.
