For people who are specializing in energy weapons, what ammo/energy weapon are you using to take out deathclaws consistently? I've finally gotten my BoS gear and even with a tag of 90 energy and using the gauss rifle they shrug off my attacks (even with maxed out MF ammos). Unless I get a critical (and stupidly, I chose the perk that makes enemies explode when you kill them with an energy weapon, which means I've been killed by splash damage more times than I can count), I just can't kill these things. Is there another energy wep or ammo type I should be using? I don't need to kill them in one shot, but I'm tired of seeing that damn red shield next to deathclaw life bars. I'm level 30, playing on very hard and hardcore. My gun skill is 17, so I really need to stick to energy weps.
