I would much rather have the higher raw stats of an off element SSR than a same element defender. Plus it's so easy to get Assault SRs now. Just join a few Catastrophe Rags and you'll fill the rest of your grid with SR Assault pretty quickly.
This, using defender as an example is kinda missleading since its very VERY situational, to the point that most of the time if not always you wanna keep those defenders out of your grid, but still the point stands, matching element weapons are almost always better than off element weapons due to skills, even more now that dual skills are very common and soon triple skills.
