This is base dmaage, which is multiplied by crit and elemental effects. the more external multipliers you haven the better. Sjure, having 5 of these and a hornet strike wouldnt do much dmaage, but tradign one elemental mod for it would increase the dmage even more.

for example: 100 base damage +260% elemental = 360 mixed damage

166 base damage +  + +260% elemental = 431 mixed damage

This is a poor replacement for an elemental mod, but with 8 mod slots you could easily have 4 90% mods and hornet + magnum for increased damage relative to the amount of crit/elemental boost you have.
