I wouldn't say 'overall'. Soma has 1 Impact, 4 Puncture, 5 Slash damage distribution. So sed +30% Puncture is 1.2 Puncture dmg (got the numbers fresh from my Soma). Meaning you're adding 1.2 dmg to 11 base dmg - roughly 11% extra dmg (of Puncture type). For a 9 point mod this is hella' expensive, but as the poster above noted it might be the case that in the future it will count towards base dmg, therefor adding 11% to all your elemental dmg mods. Because Soma lives and dies by it's crit build, I find it unlikely that Piercing Hit will be worth sloting even with it eventually, possibly, adding to base dmg (unless ofc you're lacking in mods to slot, but even then there are more comon and better mods for it).
