Elemental damage during nightfall

So just curious because I haven't really checked or compared but does anyone know in the nightfall do you take shields on enemies down quicker by using the correct elemental damage or the burn damage, for example this weeks nightfall is void damage but wizards and knights will have solar and arc shields, so would I be better to run fully void or solar, arc and void? EDIT: thanks for all the replies and tips guys, I really want to test this to actually find an answer to whether or not it is better to use burn damage or the correct element damage for shields, I have an arc 77 wizard and was going to buy the void 77 wizard to test actual damage done by 2 of the same weapon but it's the crucible vendor and I'm not rank 3 in crucible yet (thanks bee/caterpillar error anytime I play anything but skirmish, salvage or rumble) so what I was hoping is anyone who has 2 of the same weapons 1 void 1 arc or solar (try change upgrades to makes stats as similar as possible) and has 10 minutes to check if they could let us all know. By the sounds of the replies I've gotten it's all circumstantial what they run anyway but there have been people saying burn damage is better and some saying that proper element damage is better against shields so would be nice to get an actual answer to this...

  • Yes you need to use the proper element damage weapon to crack the shield of the enemy you are shooting at. After the shield drops they are push overs. The main damage mod will come more into play for the boss. Just ask sepiks prime how much he loved patience and time and arc modifier last week
