Actually, you don't. Base elemental damage is increased by base dmg mods just as well as physical damage. So, with same base damages, you will get like 1000 elemental vs 700 elemental + 300 physical. Whats more important, you get elemental procs only. Physical damage procs are crap comparing to blast procs (knockdowns), corrosive, radiation, magnetic and electricity procs. Also, having pure elemental allows one to get the most specialised damage with best bonuses.
