Independent analysis
Editorial analysis based on the current guides: Salmon Sorcerer's own damage is secondary to layered control. Placing the evolved form at the entrance to a shared kill zone lets Slow and Stagger keep waves grouped for AoE damage. Current UPD 0.5 sources tend to treat it as a support/control pick rather than a pure DPS headliner, which matches this page's mode-focused recommendation.
This site analysis interprets the cited snapshot; it is separate from official game information and may change as stronger evidence becomes available.
