MCH Overheat should activate automatically

[Sylve]

I'd just be happy to see Wildfire trigger Hypercharge on activation.
AFAIK, we never use Wildfire without also triggering Hypercharge.
So it's just kind an awkward triple oGCD cast whenever it's Wildfire time.

On the topic of Hypercharges effect, why not have it change Split, Slug, Clean and Scattergun into Hypercharged versions you use once each with the 1.5s GCD and additional effects, then finish with Heat Blast resetting the Gauss/Rico cooldowns entirely.

You can even push it further:
Make it so Wildfire has no heat cost and triggers hypercharge.
Then remove Barrel Stabilizer because it now has no purpose.

Not only it's a QoL but it also fixes the rigid heat gauge.
If 2 buttons are meant to be always paired together, they merge them. They followed that for WAR and MCH old wildfire combo, why not for Barrel Stabilizer and Wildfire?
Is the desynchronize of the cooldowns done by design?

It's a good idea, faster 1 2 3 is always better than spamming 1 five times in a row.

I'd rather they just remove heat blast entirely, along with any other instance of "press the button 5 times in a row" on classes.

This would be fine, too, and even less bloated.

Hit skill, get x upgraded attacks. Sounds fine.

Only reason to do otherwise would be if, given the duration exceeding what's necessary for the number of shots, one would have reason to weave in un-upgraded shots within the period, but now that MCH lacks its unique combo mechanic (as it has since ShB's gutting), I don't see why that'd be necessary.
