    If you change Hyperdrive to give all weaponskills 1.5 recast then you may as well remove heat blast and auto-crossbow. Heat Blast simply would not compare to drumming your normal rotation and auto-crossbow becomes redundant. It is clear only Heat Blast and auto-crossbow were set to have this to even have a point to exist. As there really is no heat management like there was in SB and auto-crossbow was to give a reason to use hypercharge in aoe situations.

    Heat Blast deals effectively 350 damage by trimming off half each of two 150-potency CDs' recasts atop its initial 200 potency. You'd then be trading Heat (nearly half a Hypercharge) for raw potency (an additional 250 over the duration). Small adjustments ought to be made at that point, but HB wouldn't exactly be dead in the water over such a change.

    Auto-crossbow would then either need a damage buff (buffing MCH AoE) or simply to replace Spread Shot under Hypercharge, with only single-target skills being affected prior to learning Auto-crossbow.
