^ Damage 2.0 doesn't solve balance issues, because the mod system needs a 2.0. Currently when you want a weapon to reach its full potential, you stack the elemental mods, to the point where the physical damage is meaningless. Because of how elemental damage is calculated, it all comes down to the single base damage (the combined physical damage, in most cases) that determines the strength of a weapon, which was the situation that DE was trying to remove with Damage 2.0. The Brakk, having greater overall base damage, and better secondary stats in general, really is a better weapon than the Pyrana.
