Talk:Status Effect/@comment-91.153.188.131-20151006202137

Something that should probably be added to the wiki is that (at least with corrosive damage) the bullet that procs the status effect is not affected by it. As in, if you shoot a single bullet and it procs corrosive, it's damage is not increased by the armor reduction.

Tested with a Lanka for a pure corrosive element with High Voltage and Malignant Force (and no other mods) on Grineer Heavy Gunners in Simulacrum.

Shooting at the head, the damage numbers were: 325, 325, 325 (with corrosive proc), 414, 414.

Further procs of course increased the damage further in the same manner, raising the damage always on the shot FOLLOWING the one that procced the status effect.

So basically what I'm saying is that if you mod a bow or a sniper with corrosive, status chance is completely irrelevant. You'll of course still be getting the damage type bonuses, but this is just something to note
