Magnetic and robotic damage also are iffy.

Its like, people mainly spec on for magnetic damage but don't really care about robotic damage as much.

Corpus shields are insane, and without magnetic damage, you pretty much cry inside. Same goes for impact.

So pretty much rainbow builds are faction based.

Corrosive, Gas, and Magnetic are what everyone is mainstream riding on now. Because it is the most favorable things to pick from.

Specing on individual stats like puncture, impact, and slash is sorta stupid. Mainly because elementals are so much better.

HOWEVER its different for some cases.

Despair, has a crap load of puncture. Putting in No Return is worth it, in conjunction with mutlishot and base damage mods + elementals.

Still I just don't see the other damage types getting love.

Single elementals are also worthless.

Fire, Electric, Ice, Toxin, by itself doesn't do much.

So people mainly spec for elemental combos, and the combos overshadow the indivdual elements. But I like the status effects of single elementals, I mean  the electricity status effect is good, a splash damage of electricity.
