How Elementals Work

so correct me if im wrong

 

 

 

so if i have a weapon slash 2 impact 25 and puncture 23

the final base dmg is 50 adding all together

 so if i add a serration of 100 percent

the base damage becomes 100 right

so if i add a maxed cryo rounds 

90 percent cold damage

then 90 percent of 100 would be 90

so i would have 90 cold damage

so the more base damage i have the better the elementals mods adds damage

 

yeah i need approval

is this right
