Advanced Fleet Plasma versus Corrosive Plasma

I have two beam banks I have upgraded to epic. I am surprised the Advanced Fleet Plasma does more secondary damage (78.9 over 15 seconds) than the Corrosive (51.3 over 15 seconds.) The Corrosive does add a damage resistance reduction of 1 to 20 over 20 seconds. Is that significant? Is it more important than the 27 extra damage points?

    Neither is that significant with the chance of the effect (proc) going off being only 2.5% per cycle. Go with whatever you think is better looking.

    The debuff on the Corrosive Plasma can be significant.. they are currently the best Plasma weapons in the game. That being said, the difference still isn’t huge, unless you’re trying to get better numbers while parsing you probably won’t notice any real difference in ‘every day’ use. If you’re focused on maximizing your performance then the Corrosive are the way to go.
    Insert witty signature line here.
