Gamma Wave Emitters vs Overcharged Capacitor on Laser Rifle

[Fried Noodles]

Do the Gamma Wave Emitters add any noticeable damage over time that they're worth using over the higher base damage mod?

I'm going for a close-quarters / interior sorta weapon and I modified Danse's weapon with a Beam Splitter and the Gamma Wave Emitter.

The splitter seems to shoot 5 projectiles... so thought that if I'm close enough, I'd apply 5 stacks of the 'flaming' DoT effect...?

Or should I just go for raw energy damage?

Flame DoT doesn't stack, so no, OC cap is more efficent for scatter laser

I think gamma wave is 3damage/sec for 3 sec, and boosted gamma wave is 5damage/sec for 3sec.
(You can check it in the creation kit)
Alternatively you could use the console to check (click on mob before shooting them, getav health, shoot them, getav health, wait until they stop burning, getav health).
