Talk:Primed Heated Charge/@comment-25450485-20150123231751

It is totally worth it, period. Elemental damage is ALWAYS applied to the target, the only thing that may be applied is the status proc.

Which means if your weapon with 100 base damage has a mod with 90% heat damage, then the weapon in question will deal 100 physical damage AND 90 fire damage, resulting in a total of 190 damage, not counting modifiers like hornet strike.

Why would that be useful at all?

Well, take a Hikou prime, mod it with that and Scorch (60% extra status chance and fire damage) and mod it for max fire rate and multishot. Then give your warframe "Provoked". That mod increases your damage output when downed by 110%. Why bother? Well, if you get downed in T4 stuff, you can deal quite a bit of damage till someone revives you.

Also, try using that on an Angstrum (it's the pistol swarm missile launcher) with multishot and all (with Miraga and Hall of Malevolence)
