You should try this kojn^ and FruitieX in combination with the Rifle in place of Nex as sniper weapon.
Because a (or maybe even 'the') big reason the mortar was used so much is it is combo-ed with the Nex. If the Nex is dethroned, you might see that the old mortar primary is no longer overused automatically.
And BTW, the Electro in 2.5.2 was way too defensive and underpowered. Whatever you end up doing to it, definitely make it more effective and offensively useful too, and don't make any other weapon like the mortar end up in a too defensive role either.
The game would need to be much slower paced for purely defensive weapons to be very useful. As such, I've never felt threatened by electro ball spam, I just dance around it, in any version. The few times when I did get caught in an electro storm, I'd laugh at myself for such a pathetic death.
