New to MCH in stormblood but why is overheating a 10% penalty? GB is 5% bonus damage then when you overheat you lose GB, no?

for the most part in hw casting was just terrible idea for range physical dps only till near the end of HW did mch gitgud dmg wise willd brd took the hit. the biggest problem is just overall dmg on mch just sucks with the lose of all the dmg buffs which was basically carrying Mch throughout HW.

I suffered thru hw as a mch cause I did enjoy the class but fuck did casting and low dmg did not making HW appealing, I am not gonna wait till the end of SB for mch to be good again I'm leveling another dps

Overheat is a 20% bonus damage. But after overheat you lose your GB for 10 seconds and need to build heat to 50 again.

Huh? Thought the job guide says when you overheat it's 10% damage bonus for those 10 seconds. After you overheat, GB is disabled and GB is +5% damage. I'm still confused.

Overheat is a 20% bonus damage. But after overheat you lose your GB for 10 seconds and need to build heat to 50 again.

Equips your current firearm with a gauss barrel, increasing damage dealt by 5%. While barrel is equipped, your weapon's Heat Gauge will increase each time a weaponskill is executed. When the Heat Gauge reaches 100%, your weapon will become Overheated and damage dealt will be increased by 10%.
Duration: 10s
Gauss Barrel effect ends automatically once weapon is no longer Overheated and cannot be applied again for 10s.

yeah it's 10%. Actually it's 15% in total
