We might not do the most damage, but damn it, we are going to sit here and keep doing it till everythings turned to fine dust.*rotate arms above head*
As for the shroom perk, i think it's supposed to be for tactical gameplay, not so much for improved AE. Set them up when you need a big burst at a specific time, but damage before that doesn't matter as much. Also remember that talking about numbers is pointless right now, the mechanics are what matters.
It wasn't 400% increased DoT damage, it was 400% increased tick rate. It was also channeled, so you couldn't do anything else during it. I'm not surprised to see it gone.
IS is supposed to do crazy high damage, too. I wouldn't get to hung up on the cast time for now.
