Gauss' Thermal sunder

[Tinderox]

Does Gauss termal sunder does multiple ticks of cold/fire damage? In the wiki says that it deals more than one damage tick in the área.

I believe it's constant. If the enemies get inside the area they'll be continuously burned or slowed down, depending on the element. 

Not sure about the mixed blast area on that matter. Haven't played Gauss enough to tell.

yeah, im refering about multiple cold status in order to slow down the enemies. 25% is great, but not enough in my helminth build

The Blast damage will depend on the last Thermal Sunder casted: Heat Thermal Sunder will deal more damage than a Cold Thermal Sunder. The effect of the Blast will cause a vacuum (Cold Thermal Sunder) or it will repel enemies (Heat Thermal Sunder) should you use that.

The two Thermal Sunder auras will overlap, dealing its respective elemental damage. Mach Rushing into the auras will tell you the total damage.

No need to. Casting two instance of Cold Thermal Sunder on top of enemies or a Redlined Cold Thermal Sunder will freeze enemies cold. Force a Blast Thermal Sunder in a Redline will strip all armor off of any victim while applying the Blast damage after the armor strip. Makes it lethal even against Steel Path Grineer/Corrupted.

Yes I believe so, each cast of same element will do separate instance of damage, different elements combine to 1 stronger blast damage. Enemy will continue to be damaged as long there in th instance.
