Did Machinist just get nerfed?

I am not having fun with this MCH.
I see myself pressing "1" (my button for split shot) way TOO often and repeatedly... this is NOT nice and the job feels even slower now, I am actually seeing smaller dps if not the same.

You can use Quick Reload to guarantee a Slug Shot proc without affecting your heat now (specifically, no loss on use, but no gain on the next shot). You shouldn't need to have to spam Split Shot for that reason.

He's talking about in an optimal rotation. A lul between a slugshot proc to cleanshot used to be ensured by a cooldown in between. Now you can't do that because you need that heat for your overheat.
