I'd say that it basically should increase base damage - the damage increase is affected by mods that affect damage - like Pressure Point, elemental mods, channel damage mods, physical damage mods.

Then this mod would be insane on fast attacking melee weapons with a low base damage. Think about it - you run around with Prisma Obex or an equivalent low base damage with high attack speed melee - then while using mods that decrease channeling efficiency - like Life strike, corrupt charge etc, you end up increasing the overall damage of that low base damage weapon tremendously.

Prisma Obex has a base damage of 25 - and if you use Life Strike on it, each channel hit might cost 12 energy, yet the base damage will be increased from 25 up to 49 (or 53 with Corrupt charge too) The damage quickly scales up and it would be a moster mod.

Though Sadly that's not how it works though. :(
