I kinda get what youre saying but that would be a lot of trouble for exo to fix a relatively small problem.
I (think) that's what actually happens when you add a weapon to a tank, the only thing that exo would need to change is the trigger being an ability. A dummy unit gets created at the position of the tank that has a version of the phoenix fire ability. Either that or the ability gets applied directly onto the tank. Doing it this way would ensure that damage is dealt when the projectile hits and not just when the skill is activated.
Anyway, this is just a suggestion as I haven't touched the map maker in aaaages.
Edit: Or banish could be changed such a way that it calculates the amount of damage done during the period in which it was cast and multiplies that amount by the appropriate percentage. I.e. sort of like witch doctor's maledict. This would sort of mirror the original banish however it should be considered a nerf as damage is delayed.
