Yeah there's no reason to break more than one armor plate. The first flesh you see should have all the firepower focused on it.

No it doesn't do any damage on full armour, but it's devastating when the flesh is exposed.
>no way to run for safety
Yes and no. If you dive in the exact moment he belly-slams, you almost never die. And since we are talking about getting damage, don't dive the acid attack: pre-stim and tank it. For some reason you even take less damage from acid if you don't dive.
Personally i use the medic medium armour + the fent stim piss booster, so i spam stims every time and it works wonders against it.
