I'm not familiar enough with the current enemy armour/DR calculations to do this myself so ill ask my fellow tenno:
I understand that when up against the grineer the current damage meta is slash+viral, but if slash was not an option, I'd like to know which would be better to mod for against the steel path grineer out of corrosive and viral.
Viral:
The viral damage deals +75% damage against all grineer (except robots, but they don't have many of those)
Can grant a further 325% damage from all sources
Corrosive:
The corrosive damage deals +75% damage AND ignores 75% armour but only against some grineer types (some of which are less common in steel path)
Grants up to 80% armour reduction for all damage sources
So is the 325% increase in damage better than the 80% decrease in armour when tackling the steel path?
If the answer is different from earth to the kuva fortress, is there a specific point level-wise where one starts to outclass the other?
If there is a difference, is it super significant, or relatively minor?
I would love to hear your opinions, and reasoning! (the maths is welcome too!) (also i know that viral+heat probably blows corrosive out of the water, but if you would like to show by how much, i am definitely curious about that too!)
