I don't believe the 10 heat to be a good thing just with the former system. Let's think about it, it's like asking awareness for a poor little free slug shot not even providing something special. Sure, why not having 10 heat per heated shot, but I wish we had something more to do than just a free slug shot, like it would change everything. Remember it's just 40 bonus potency compared to Split Shot... with no chance to proc a Clean Shot.

I agree for difficulty as I naturally like it, but I don't want that vision of difficulty and fun for just 40 more potency (which can end to don't even be a boost as it has no chance to proc anything else, and doing Cooldown --> Combo 1, is not better than doing Combo 1 --> Combo 2 as this one could at least proc Combo 3 instead of just a Combo 2).

I don't have ideas about what to do about that heat for now, but yea, I feel like a free Slug Shot with 0% Clean Shot proc to be too light for 10 heat per shot.
