If you can deal with the whole damage-over-time aspect, it's an interesting weapon choice for Mirage. The thing about her hall of mirrors is that the copies don't aim exactly at your crosshair, which means only one or two are hitting the target in your crosshair most of the time.

Torid ensures that every copy of Hall of Mirrors deals its full damage to your crosshair targets since the clouds are so huge (especially with Firestorm). To compare with a few other options, the Amprex requires the shot to actually connect with an enemy before it will chain (copies often miss), shotguns have a great spread but a lot of missed pellets (including beams that aren't on-target with Phage), explosive weapons have a serious risk of suicide, and the opticor can't fire on demand + only does AoE when hitting a non-hostile.

TLDR: For Mirage, it's as if the damage output on Torid is boosted simply because her mirrors always contribute full damage to the crosshair targets.
