Many dots, like fire and slash do 50% of a weapons base damage. What's confusing to me is what a weapons base damage is supposed to be. Take the Tonkor for instance, it has, with out any mods, some physical and blast damage. The Tonkor also has 2 stages to it's attack, a projectile phase and a explosion/blase phase.
Is the stats the weapon has with out mods the base damage?
Can I increase the "base damage" stat with serration?
Is the base damage only the physical damage? (ie. the blast damage on the Tonkor is not part of it's base damage stat)
If the blast damage is part of the base damage and serration can increase that base damage, can a fire and ice mods also increase the base damage due to the blast damage being already part of said base stat set.
If i'm using a multiple type attack like a shotgun or Kulstar and only some of the projectiles or bomblets hit does the base damage come from the individual pallets or bomblets base damage or the total weapons damage.
What would be the base damage for a charged weapon? Would it always follow the type of attack you choose in calculating the base damage stat used for dots.
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before but I've been unable to find any satisfactory answers anywhere. Please help this noob!
