Dungeon Defenders: Base or elemental damage upgrade?

I've been doing some searching online and on these forums, and I keep finding mixed answers. Also, answers tend to change with patch updates, so I'm not sure which answer is correct anymore. I'm hoping an official thread can be made that discusses this much brought up topic.





For a Tower Mage, if you have a weapon with massive upgrades possible, is it better to invest in elemental or base damage? Off the bat I would assume elemental, but let's keep in mind that even without investing any points into hero damage, your gear will give you massive bonuses to this stat. I guess a better question would be, at what hero damage would base damage be higher than elemental in a weapon that had 200 upgrades? If that number is unattainably high, than elemental is the better route.





For a DPS hero, regardless of class, there will be already massive amounts of points invested into hero damage. I would want to assume that base damage will be more effective, but considering the cap, wouldn't elemental still give you more DPS at high upgrades? So the question here is similar: at what hero damage would base damage be higher than elemental in a weapon that has 200 upgrades? This number may be easier to approach since you are looking for gear that boosts this stat.





tl;dr: At what hero damage will base damage give more DPS than elemental damage in a weapon with 200 upgrades, assuming both have the same starting stats on said weapon?
