Increasing status duration does not effect the damage, it just extends how many times it will deal damage, just like for slash or heat too. So it helps, and lets you stack it for low damage, status dealing weapons. So by the time 8 seconds end, you are still stacking them. Acrid makes the uses of this fact to quickly stack toxin on every shot, and it's augment makes it even more deadly.

After the embolist 'rework' it's the only weapon to deal toxin procs 100% of the time regardless of how you mod it pretty sure.
