Maybe Just Make All Ether Weapons Do Innate Finisher Damage

[Roboplus]

You know what? I changed my mind. I do want this.

 

Toxic can bypass shields, and that's dandy, but what really matters is that the flesh under the shields is weak to toxic. Finishing damage would gain no such benefit.

 

Outside cases of extreme armor values, Corrosive/Radiation still does 75% extra damage to Alloy/Ferrite. In the presence of powers like Frost's Avalanche, the highly weakened armor would cause the enemy to take more damage from those sources than straight finishing.

 

And against armorless Grineer or Infested, Heat will do more damage than straight finishing too.

 

It even makes sense lore-wise, because the Ether Sword was used against infested Tenno. Tenno have both armor and shields.

 

The whole thing is pretty brilliant.
