"not 120% of TOTAL as slash damage how Elemental mods do."

please... show me which mod you have that adds 120% elemental damage.

thx.

and yes, elemental mods do add 90% of the base phyical damage a elemental damage, however, using a mod that gives +120% slash damage on a weapon that has at least 3/4 of its damage as slash is the same thing except that you're increasing slash instead of an element.

a good example is assume you have a weapon that deals 100 damage, and 75 of that is slash. that means adding 120% slash damage is adding 90% of the total damage. anything with more than 3/4 of the damage as slash is directly getting more gain from a slash mod than from an element mod.

additionally, said weapon will now deal slah procs more often, which deal finisher damage (SPOILER ALERT: no enemy in the game is strong vs finisher damage and bleed ignores shields and armor)

so... statistically speaking... on the right weapons slash set is more effective then an elemental mod...
