Trying to figure it out myself. I think for physical damage weapons it's the combined physical damage with direct damage improvements like serration/heavy caliber and affected by crit/headshot multiplers, but not added elemental damage.

What I'm really confused about though is how it works with weapons that deal only elemental damage, do elemental dmg mods count towards base damage on those? just if they're combined with the weapons element? (like with amprex if I add fire the base damage becomes radiation, so is radiation the new total base damage?)

I really wish these status proc damage articles included some calculation of how the DOT damage is calculated. Kind of an important piece of information...
