@Andoryuu4:

1. "IPS mods don't affect explosion or any elemental damage.

"That´s wrong since elemental damage scales from a weapons basedamage and takes IPS mods into account.

2. "It isn't worth it to use IPS mods on any weapon because they are on the bottom of priorities (base damage, multishot, crit*, 2 elements, fire rate**, 3rd element, faction, last element and after all that IPS mod for the highest part) so there is no space left. "

Everybody keeps saying that but nobody points out why that´s the case. You wanne know why? Cuz for example a max. Slash dmg mod (30%) on Soma with 10 base damage (1 Impact / 4 Puncture / 5 Slash) would only be a 15% averall base damage increase from 10 to 11,5 (slash from 5 to 6,5), but for weapons like Penta who only got 1 type of physical damage it´s the full 30% what makes them worth again.

3. "Explosion and Impact damage are two separate numbers and don't affect each other."

That´s your only correct statement and this is also the reason why I asked my question which still didn´t got answered! How is the elemental damage dealt by Penta's explosions calculated? From the Impact damage, the Blast damage or both together?

Please guys just read my question and then answer it or don´t, but stop spamming this "IPS is worthless" as long as you don´t even know what you are talking about.
