How much does the burn help in Nightfall?

My best void special weapon is a 294 fusion rifle. Given this week's Nightfall strike, I'm thinking I need to be using a sniper rifle though. Problem is, my best void sniper is a 242. Will the void burn make up enough damage to be worth using this thing over, say, a maxed Ice Breaker? Basically, I'm wondering if there's any kind of hard data on how much the burn helps. Any thoughts? EDIT: So sounds like the general consensus is that any void is going to be far better than a little boost in regular damage. Good to know, thanks!

  • Also something to consider is what shields do the enemies have? While this varies from strike to strike I'd give a general guide: Primary - Burn damage Secondary - Heavy enemy shield burn / long range shield burn (ie, Minotaur, Captain, Knights) Heavy - Weak shielded enemy kill (Shanks, Psions) If one of your equipment slots is lacking try and remember that you can use it as a shield breaker.
