Hey element damage, why are you the way you are?

Nah that's not a test.  Otherwise they would be immune to more than Viral.  Coz they have more than 1 resistance.    And we had bosses with absolute proc immunity for ages.

Yes but the Deimos enemies are only immune to Viral, not the other procs

Il y a 4 heures, _R_o_g_u_e_ a dit :

Viral heat outperforms corrosive in literally every scenario.

When you have enough room to mod for those elements that is, which is pretty often not the case if you don't wanna gimp other aspects of the weapon.

Corrosive can still do the job very efficiently on its own, and will always be a great bonus to add on top of the viral/heat combo when both armor and health start getting too high (for the long endurance crowd mostly but still).

All that to say : it has A LOT of uses, stating that it's "useless" is ridiculous, there are miles between something being outperformed by the meta cool kid and being straight up useless.

This is not true.  Turn AI off and spawn level 140 Corrupted Gunners and Corrupted Bombards in the Simulacrum.  Remove all pets and other aids that could impact the test, then kill them with body shots using the following Twin Grakata build:

  1. Hornet Strike
  2. Barrel Diffusion
  3. Lethal Torrent
  4. Primed Pistol Gambit
  5. Prime Target Cracker
  6. Pathogen Rounds
  7. Deep Freeze
  8. Primed Heated Charge

Now swap out Deep Freeze for Convulsion and try again.  One of the builds will have reduced kill times for the Gunners, the other will have reduced kill times for Bombards.  Personally, I prefer the Convulsion Build (corrosive + heat) because it feels like it averages out to better overall kill times.  But regardless, Viral+Heat doesn't out-perform corrosive against one of these enemies.
