Burst damage comes from the combos that you don't know about.

ex: C > Shoot > Click attack > X + Jump > V > Shoot after

Or you can just shoot quickly.

Damage over time isn't a poison/burn effect. It's just consistently doing (moderate) damage to a target until they die. Ex: Old Tempus had the Graviga ball, which was good or poking out far targets until they close in on you or run away. New Tempus has the constant click attack damage and Time Crack which deals damage slowly, but has a low cooldown. This isn't even with the other abilities.

You're also biased with the cons of the other mages. You stated obvious weaknesses that apply to every class, not specifics. Vulca has the problem of deciding between bursting someone down and having low defense afterwards. Nether has the problem of being borderline immobile after getting hit three times at most, and having a predictable ultimate. Cryo relies on drakes as a source of damage and the opponent having frost to amplify that.
