People on this thread do not understand how gas work. It has the same properties as poison except it pulses in AoE. Gas is kind of poison but with the Area damage effect of diablo 3.

Gas is extremly strong against corpus and infested. On goonies use Radiation or corosiveinstead. For instance you can own easily any kind of lvl35 mob type while walking forward shooting with an ignis as the proc is even better in aoe hence every proc will pulse around the target for moar dmg.

Gas when proc'd AoE pulse a dot, it's multiplicative by the number of targets hence each of them will pulse. For instance, if your ignis amo procs a status when hitting 5 ennemies each of them will take 5 times the damages. I tryed it last year in a T4 camp def and was toping dmg wise in my group just maintaining attack until pretty late into the waves.(ignis isn't high end AT ALL)

Status dmg are affected by weapon dmg unmodiffied, they will be more predominant when pure dmg mods(serration etc) will get removed from the game.
