Venom is still usable in high level missions.

It's an energy sink in low levels since most targets will outright die or die when trying to pop spores. Not really the ability's fault here.

Contagion on the other hand is pretty useless in it's current state, because it doesn't synergize with any builds (Unless you make a dedicated build that makes only Contagion usable, but then you are better of playing like Valkyr or even Volt).

However I think that is a solid ability on it's own and all it needs to be worth a damn is a toggle, so scaling with Power Duration is reduced or outright removed.

Oh, and they could finally swap names; Venom with Contagion, so their names actually match descriptions.
