Talk:Damage 2.0/Magnetic Damage/@comment-26544821-20150725205612

You know, there is one thing that I always wanted to know and never had patience (or actual method) to test one thing that MIGHT redeem magnetic = does the damage overflow?

What I mean by this: say that target has 1000 shields and 100 health, and I'm doing 700 magnetic damage. Magnetic gets multiplied by 1.75, so that's now 1225 damage. I take down the shield and I'm left with 225, will that get transfered fully to hp, or will it get recalculated with weaknesses and resistances of flesh? Does anybody know?

If this is true, it might make magnetic/cold/impact at least a little bit viable for corpus, even though toxic is better.

Unrelated - gas is beastly damage type but only with high status and high damage weapons.
