Sadly, it's only 50% of the base damage of the weapon, before applying IPS and elemental mods. So if you're using a weapon with 100 base damage (all slash), add serration to reach 265 base damage, and then add +90% slash and +90% heat and +90% cold and +90% electricity, you'll see 503.5 slash, 477 blast, and 238.5 electricity, but an electric proc will deal 132.5 electricity in an AoE (or 265 on a headshot.) Still good if your weapon has a high base damage (e.g. heavy caliber, spoiled strike, magnum force) and a high rate for its status, or you're dealing with a whole lot of very, very weak targets - like doing missions on the star chart. And if the damage isn't sufficient, you can still stun targets with the proc.

(Since we're expecting damage 3.0 in the nearish future, I should mention this comment is as of Silver Grove U3.1.)
