Well since ticks proc mods too the effective base damage of the acrid is 100 and it' s easy to prove with an example.

let' s assume + 100% dmg thanks to hornet strike and 50% ice damage.

the despair would do 55 ice damage

the acrid would do 25 ice dmg on the first tick and than 18.75 dmg 4 times

guess what ? that' s 100 ice dmg for the acrid as  supposed.

mod damage doesn' t scale exponentially, a weapon that does 110 dmg on hit does less mod damage than a weapon with 50 dmg on hit and 37.5 dmg four times afterwards.

calculations were made with 100% extra damage from hornet strike to make things easier.
