I don't think so. There is almost no difference whether weapon's base damage is slash or piercing on fully modded weapon. Look at Dread and Paris Prime as they almost same damage (without calculating with overcrit) and they differ in base damage. Against Infested Dread gets 4% bonus damage, against Grineer ParisP gets 10% bonus damage. Is it a significant reason for taking Dread against Infested instead of ParisP and maxing both weapons instead of just focusing on ParisP? Not really.

And those two weapons have similar dps. What difference do you think the base type will do when comparing weapons where one has more then double base dps?
