Bonus damage never hurts, especially if you're fighting Grineer and Slash is having a hard time, throw a bit o' Acid on there and it makes up some of the difference.

As stated, you could do that or just slap an Anti-Grinny mod on. Both have similar  effect with the Bane of ____ Mod being more situational, but overall much, much more effective than the elemental.
