Talk:Damage/Viral Damage/@comment-1348475-20160425103707/@comment-62.158.104.4-20160605223244

Thats not right at all. Viral shines on high status, high firerate weapons. The viral status applies after the initial damage of the weapon. It´s pretty useless, if you do 2/3 of the targets hp and apply viral afterwards. You want sth like aksomatiP. It applies viral before you do most of your damage.

Viral is very good against any corpus and infested and low/mid level grineer. Against lvl 60ish+ grineer corossive will always be better.

PS dont use the physical damage mods for dps. Only use the 120% ones if you do sortie against elemental enhancement or you want the physical status effect.
