PeanutMonster Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) ''Very effective against infested'' Gas is THE WORST possible elemental type against the Infested, thanks to the different auras of Ancient units. Toxic Ancients grant 90% damage resistance to Toxin and Gas damage for all nearby Infested. Ancient Disrupters grant 90% damage resistance to AoE attacks, in this case, Gas element's AoE Toxin Proc (which's damage is already reduced by the aura of the Toxic Ancients). Ultimately, Ancient Healers grant a general damage reduction. Suggestion: Buff the Gas damage to make it actually useful against SOMETHING! Make Ancients weak to Gas and light infested weak to Corrosive. Also, Toxic Ancients SHOULD NOT reduce Gas damage. This would encourage many more people to use Gas damage in infestation missions. Reposting once more RIP Gas Damage It's funny because Toxic Ancient aura not resist, but nullify the proc damage at all. There's a prime example how ''great'' Gas is against Infested.

PeanutMonster Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Umm, gas does 75% extra damage to light infested? Which gets reduced by 90% three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celle-Reveris Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Umm, gas does 75% extra damage to light infested? ^ While their spawnrate is a bit high, ancients are far from representing the entirety of the infested faction(all but the ancients, lephantis, more? are consired light infested and take a delicious amount of damage from gas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefPlays Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Which gets reduced by 90% three times. There's the problem with your logic. The problem isn't with the damage type, it's with the damage reduction auras... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eciria Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 How about we refrain from insulting the developers of the game when they aren't lying. Even if the Ancients grant resistance the fact remains that Gas IS good against light Infested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tails-san Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Do 10 waves of ODD and you already have more Ancient spawns than light infested spawns. Because ODD, a high-level area, is totally the standard for the entire faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockworkSpectre Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Umm, gas does 75% extra damage to light infested? So what, light infested die fast no matter what you shoot them with. What is important is what the ancients are weak to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanutMonster Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Because ODD, a high-level area, is totally the standard for the entire faction. Every defense missions has the same number of spawns, just lower or higher level enemies. I could had said Dark Sector defense of Venus but that wouldn't had made any difference.

GinKenshin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Gas is my fav kind of damage , specially when I use it with my Ignis in dark sector defense, but once I see those stupid ancient.....switch to my secnodary weapon, kill'em fast and then back to my Ignis....making poisons gas (lol, what a sentence XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netheroc Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Because ODD, a high-level area, is totally the standard for the entire faction. ODD isnt exactly a "high-level area". Its 90% of all infested maps played (except for dark sectors, and theres the same problem). So its pretty standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaethill Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No matter what you say, light infested gets killed and annihilated by gas damage. Like someone else wrote, the problem is only the heavier infested, and yes if you do OD, you are gonna meet alot of Ancients. That is the fact of the matter...So the title is misleading since DE know all to well about which Damage is the best against the factions. After all, it was them who created the damage, and not you?

Halisi Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Well prioritize the ancients then, if you kill them before they come close to other units their auras aren't a big threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulEchelon Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Umm, gas does 75% extra damage to light infested? Uh, this. Gas is extremely effective against Infested. Yes, Ancients are more effected by Corrossive, but Gas is the best thing to use against light infested (unless you're Ember. Then you wanna use Fire+Accelerant, or if you can, Corrossive+Fire+Accelerant). Best setup is a high powered weapon (revolvers, snipers, bows) with Corrosive for ancients, and an automatic/high RoF weapon (Automatic rifles/smgs/beam style weapons) with Gas for light infested. So...seems DE actually does know what they're talking about. /thread. No matter what you say, light infested gets killed and annihilated by gas damage. Like someone else wrote, the problem is only the heavier infested, and yes if you do OD, you are gonna meet alot of Ancients. That is the fact of the matter...

vaugahn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 That's the damage resist auras, not an innate resistance. Gas gets bonus damage against light infested, and suffers no penalty against heavy infested.Combine it with a high base damage weapon like Marelok and it's arguably the best element for use against infested because of its AoE.
