Talk:Damage 1.0/Armor Piercing Damage/@comment-178.190.233.148-20131111012926

Since i find all these Discussions very amusing, i'll tell you a story out of a lvl 280 infested Survival I was part of once

With Novas Ult on it, without it it would have surely not been able to last that long so easily, I was able to take down an Ancient lvl 280 with roughly 7 Shots with my (allmost) fully dmg modded Strun Wraith (1050 dmg roughly, Crit Chance 38%, Crit dmg 2,6% = not maxed yet, 150% AP/ 60% Fire dmg, Crit mods, Dmg mods except for the corrupted Mod adding even more base dmg - I had shotty mutator there) - Yes i aimed for the head and yes, i usually hit it with allmost all particles of my Shots with the Strun Wraith since it's a very fine weapon

It seems like that AP damage is either veeeery effective on them (and scales with armor or simply is double or more effective), or I'm truly missing something, cause the Soma (Crit Build Rifle, ofc) of my friend was sure not even closely as useful there, he shot one Magazine and wasn't able to finish one and took at least 120 shots - though a Crawler with Novas ult took me 4 Bullets, Soma was clearly faster there (AP Reduction, yep, it sucks) - Implying that AP dmg is just double effective on Ancients, he should have also been able to take one down within a Magazine and his Elemental Dmg

Other fun fact: Lvl 120 Grineer Gunners - My friend kills one with his fully build Soma while I take down 2 in the same time with either 6-8 Bullets, depending on how good I aim, even though the DPS of the Soma base dmg is higher, adding Base Dmg/Crit rate/Crit dmg and Fire Rate to the DPS Formula - Just my Ap is about 90% higher of the one of my comrade, though he got Ice dmg on his Soma

Would like to know if even anyone hear believes me, has made equal experiences, etc

And no, I don't spend 20 mins writing this comment in details for nothing, i actually would like some intel on this
