But that logic doesn't apply to Braton and Dera because of the weird scaling of lasers. The two are similar enough that with the exact same high level mods (Serration, split cahmber, all elements) that, though the braton wins up to about level 50-60ish, after that, it seems the Dera's type advantage and small bonus to its small bit of bonus damage will win out.

Also, saying all weapons will scale evenly with the same mods simply isn't true in other cases as well. Take the Grakata vs the Braton/Dera/Boltor for instance. A critical hit build on the last 3 would be laughable, but the Grakata manages to pull it off beautifully, filling the screen with yellow numbers. On the flip side, the raw damage build mentioned in my first point would allow the Braton/Dera/Boltor to absolutely annihilate, while the grakata would lag far behind.
