The Sporothrix needs a massive buff in some way.
Its for too underwhelming for it to be very annoying and hard to farm, be mastery rank 13 to use, and have so little polarities that you need to invest 4-6 forma into it.
It just doesn't do any job that weapons are supposed to have. Despite being a sniper it doesn't kill single targets very fast. And even though it has an AOE explosion with a big status chance, the AOE is so small that you almost never hit multiple enemies, which makes the status chance rather useless.
All that on top of the small max ammo pool, small mag size, lo
