Majority of this comes back to my original post "Depends what you consider end-game"

Percetage values have weight when you're comparing the effective group damage bonus of a variable pasive Viral proc vs a 100% active one. My entire point was that she looses a lot of her group value because the difference between the two amounts to somewhere between 0 and 40% effective damage bonus, instead of 100% when players aren't using Viral weapons.

Her Venom Dose is an added bonus to your base damage. The only time it out performs a multiplicative buff/debuff is on physical ability damage like Radial Javs. It "might" also cause more rapid Viral procs diminishing her Spores Viral status further and deprive weapons of bleed procs by adding weight to the weapon's Viral damage. (Haven't fully tested added proc weight)

I mention CC as a possible role to fill. Rhino and Banshee both have CC but that's not their typical meta role.Worse case senario it's there as backup in case your CC goes down.

My original post was trying to be as accurate as possible without getting too deep into it. Most players will never notice the differences but I'm not sure how anyone could argue against her being weaker in CPx4 aposed to a group not using Viral. Even her Venom Dose has more value to corrosive procs than it does with Viral.

I never said she couldn't perform though. I just said she had some limitations that prevent her from "going the distance".
