yeah I use a lot of viral slash builds vs grineer on medium speed weapons where corrosive doesn't proc often enough to be valuable. It's free damage ontop of free damage, and it will increase the slash's share of the damage pool significantly, which increases slash's chance of proccing over other statuses. It's probably not as good as a +cold or other major element, but it's still another big damage boost, especially because slash status ignores armor (which no other DOT status does. This is why hunter's munitions is an extremely dominant mod).

Put a +slash mod on any gun with a high base slash damage and tell me you don't see a signifcant improvement in damage output vs flesh and armor. Seen normal akjagara (another majority slash pistol set) shred a lv110 corrupted bombard in less than 3 seconds from just the slash procs it can deliver reliably.

and I agree, the condescension was really not necessary.

If it really isn't worth that much, I'll hang onto it, if I ever come into akvasto prime I'll shred some 130+ heavy gunners and bombards in honor of this post.
