MODERATORS
It looks bad like that, yeah, but in practice:
A corr/cold verglas will apply 10 corrosive to the enemy, then an Archon Continuity Prismatic Gem applies the final 3 or 4 stacks very quickly. You can go the other route and continue to run a Panzer and use a corrosive beam like an Atomos, Gaze, Cycron; or for Primaries anything from a corr/heat Phantasma to your favourite corr/cold beam or multishot weapon like the Boltor.
That said, you're right, there's about parity between Viral and 92% and over Corrosive. I double-checked my maths and realised I'd misremembered fullstrip as being a 7x multiplier.
So, I guess my new conclusion is that Arch-Con Citrine is mostly just a buff if you're doing a corr-viral or corr-viral-mag setup.
edit:
I forgot, one thing I definitely don't know and will test soon is whether the Prismatic Gem beams spawned by squadmates count as Citrine's ability, and if so whether they inherit her jade shard.
Allies also shooting the target doesn't really make it better, in the end it still results in needing lots of hits to strip - likely more than it's required to kill.
It still sounds like this is all more due to Verglas being OP than anything to do with Citrine, if it alone accounts for instant 80% armor strip. With a companion, shards and corrosive weapon even Loki can fully armor strip then, it has nothing to do with the wf or prismatic gem.
I'm not saying it doesn't help, each free corrosion stack when near Citrine helps a bit even if you dont equip emerald shards. In my experience though, in practice, it's easier to just cast pillage, immediately fully strip that thrax centurion and oneshot him than depending on corrosive stacks building up. It's just too slow.
edit: You mentioned mutlishot boltor, I dont think prismatic gem triggers off multishot otherwise shotguns would be completely busted with it. Shooting an enemy with a single shotgun blast doesn't proc the gem a dozen times afaik, maybe it has an internal cooldown.
Bad writing on my part, I was trying to get at high-multishot weapons being an alternative route to high procs per second than just beams, in case it seemed I was restricting Citrine's loadout options to just beams. Boltor is just a standout since it's a great hybrid weapon.
