Yeah, Viral is terrible advice. 50% HP reduction is useless if the enemy still only takes 5 damage from your bullets because of armor. Here is some better advice, never use Viral unless you're against against grineer, since you can go Radiation + Viral.

If you need to know why; Magnetic is always better against Corpus, regardless.. always. So you can go Viral. It's best to do Magnetic + Toxin. Just toxin alone is actually better than Viral. For Grineer, Radiation + Viral; just going viral is a terrible idea because heavy Grineer have massive armor even at lower level. Try killing even a level 30 Napalm with nothing but Viral on your weapon... yeah. And against Infested, Viral is just downright dumb. In the Void, Corrosive + Freeze is the best combination because Corrupt Moa, Infested Ancients, Heavy Gunners and Drones give no shits about your viral damage because of shields and armor.

Considering when he posted there's no excuse for such terrible advice. Especially since he stated he tested, when clearly he hasn't. Also, a chunk (50%) of HP is not DPS.. this post.. ugh, I'm done. Just don't listen to him.
