Stasis isn't a damage type.
Edit: Think Monster Hunter. Fire, water, and paralysis are all "damage types". But paralysis doesn't function the same way as fire or water.

I mean... it kinda is

They said in Beyond Light reveal stream and I quote “Stasis isn’t just a new subclass, it’s a brand new damage type.” Might be paraphrasing a bit but still
-
I like how someone found a verbatim quote to go against this statement and linked it
-
Yes stasis is indeed a damage type, also comparison to monster hunter makes zero sense, considering the only things weak to x elemental damage are shields.
-
It works exactly like Monster Hunter. Solar: Does extra damage to things that are weak to Solar. Void: Does extra damage to things that are weak to Void. Stasis: Applies a buildup status effect. When buildup reaches max, the target is frozen. Calling Stasis a damage type is exactly as stupid as calling paralysis a damage type.

Editado por Knavenformed: 12/6/2020 9:51:38 PMThen why is there literal quests to kill enemies with "Stais damage" And the Salvation's Grip even has a unique damage type icon and color for Stasis.

Nothing is weak to void, solar, arc or stasis besides the shields themselves. Also paralysis is a status effect which is a damage type in monster hunter, including blast, poison and sleep which are all indeed damage types.

It doesn't function the same as the rest. That's the point here. Void, Solar, and Arc all simply do damage. There is absolutely nothing special about them outside of specific perks. "Stasis damage" isn't damage; it's a status effect. You don't get the Stasis color when dealing damage with Stasis. Instead you get a status effect buildup because it is not a [i]damage type[/i], but a [i]status effect[/i]. A Stasis gun would slow and freeze targets. That's it. Salvation's Grip currently does exactly that. It's not good, but imagine an auto rifle that does the same thing. It'd be ridiculous. Spray at someone, they get frozen, swap to second primary and one-tap.
