May I present, "LMG - Light Machinist Guide for PvP"

Again, Stun Gun is the only aoe stun in PvP, and one of two cc tools MCH has remaining. Even with a 60 sec cooldown, it's not worth wasting just to overheat and do more damage for 10 seconds as opposed to sustained high damage indefinitely and still having one of the best cc skills avaliable. And especially not to ice of all things.

If you were to go after ice in contested territory, and let's say I happened to be close enough to see it. I could easily wait out your overheat then attack you with my full kit readily available to me while you're in the forced lockout, and once dealt with, just let the ice reset and get full points from it anyways. It's a lesser known fact that damage by source is what resets, not the damage dealt. So even if you burst it down to 1% and I take you out and let it reset, the full 70 is mine. Same goes for large ice too. But a 10 second burst isn't even going to break a small ice, and let's not carry that mistaken impression any further.
