The amount of potential damage this can deal is insane. Your base aoe burst does 1000 gas damage which, admittedly, isn't the best. But after that, you're looking at a 500 damage aoe toxin burst with guaranteed toxin proc, which ticks for another 4500 damage, giving us 5000 toxin damage to follow the gas damage. The beauty here is that as the gas proc is an aoe burst, and toxin procs stack, you will also deal additional damage equal to 5000 toxin damage for every enemy within gas proc range of the given enemy. In a tightly packed crowd, you could very conceivably hit every enemy in that crowd with 1000 gas damage initially, followed by 15000 damage worth of toxin procs over 9 seconds. For an effect that triggers automatically, takes no input and comes pre-packed with a very good set of pistols or can be applied to a powerful rifle, that's not half bad. Of course, all of this is assuming that the damage of the gas proc and subsequently the following toxin procs isn't being modified by resistances, which it will be most of the time. Even so, the point is that this does the most raw damage out of all syndicate effects and more than most radial damage ultimates.
