Let's talk about math ! Today's lesson : Multipliers ! A simple example with only 2 mods for viral damage :

1000 Impact - 1000 Puncture - 1000 Slash - 5400 Viral

let's try adding +90% fire shall we ? It applies on the first 3000.

2700 fire. Now let's add it all : 3000+5400+2700=11 100

Let's try adding +40% of this mod instead shall we ? It applies on everything.

1400 Impact - 1400 Puncture - 1400 Slash - 7560 Viral

Now let's add it all : 1400+1400+1400+7560=11760


 * Eeeiinnn* And that calculation was only made with a regular +90% Cold and a +90%Poison. So yes, the numbers look absurd, but the point is : Multipliers.

Let me enlight you very simply : The more multipliers you have, to more Optimal your dps becomes. Once you have put your serration, split chamber, maybe heavy caliber, and your regular two +90% mods, you'll gain wayyyyy more damage with multipliers. You think putting another +90% fire and +90% electric would beat a +40% Spring-Loaded Broadhead and a +30% Smite Grineer ? Nah my friend it doesn't, especially if you take specific enemy resistances into account. Kinda like a +100% crit dmg beats by far a +180% elemental dmg.

Now imagine if the Daikyuu had crit, imagine if you crit in the head, imagine if you crit in the head with a banshee's sonar on the said head, imagine if you crit in the head with the sonar while playing mirage with eclipse in the light, Imagine if you crit in the head with the sonar while playing mirage and the guy is affected by nova's ult... All of these are multipliers that are called multipliers because they do not add on to each other, but multiply unlike elemental mods. Multipliers are insane my friend, understand the math, and become the Saikyo Hero of Warframe.

And if you're really interested into the "How to Optimize my build like crazy", I suggest you take a look at this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPknAzeLZ-k. The guy is the top monk worldwide of Diablo 3, a game the features the same mechanics as warframe which basically is a TPS Diablo with ninjas in space. I concurr that Warframe does not have the same amount of stats, but that is not the point.

Mutlipliers is the way to go.
