It is generally not a good idea to overclock DoT weapons. The reason is because DoT usually leads to overkill, as a target that's already been dealt a lethal amount of expected damage will still be active for a certain amount of time while DoT slowly takes its toll. During this time it can still absorb projectiles, which will be effectively wasted. The faster you fire your DoT weapon, the more projectiles are wasted this way. Therefore overclock leads to greater overkill effect. Piercing, instead, is a more efficient way to increase DoT output.
