hey does the acid damage on DX2 mean it damages continuously? the DX2s on my server have considerably lower stats than the FWG5 i'm using. (sliced 2.2, 50-210)

Is there any advantage to using a lower stat DX2?

Acid damage is the same as any other kind of damage. But it is rarely resisted, so often you're better off with Acid than Heat or Energy. But in addition, the DX2 has Armor Piercing (AP) of light. That means it does1.25 times more damage to unarmored targets than an FWG5 does, and does2.0 times more damage to any armored target.

So basically it's worth carrying despite the horrible stats... Especially for use against armored targets or those that have high Heat and Energy resists.
