So after some testing vs various heavy units, i've determined that (assuming headshots), flux with crit build and all crit modifying mods + AP + damage mods (see above, except replace shred with hammershot, and add critical delay), does the same or more DPS than elemental builds. This is even more noticeable at higher levels. vs. weaker units, it depends on the faction. It's pretty close in infested because serrated does 3x automatically, and fire mutliplier is 2x, so it's kind of a wash. Id give a slight edge to rainbow build against LIGHT infested. Crit seems to do more DPS vs all grineer, and corpus appears to be a tie as well.

So I gues I wasn't headshotting the disruptor, and with equal mods I suppose he would have beat me in DPS but only slightly.

still, it's pretty weird to think that a 5% base crit chance weapon with crit build can out dps its rainbow counterpart...
