MCH Overheat should activate automatically

[Cabalabob]

While at max level yes you will never spend it on anything but heat blast and auto crossbow, do keep in mind it’s easy to forget that hypercharge is actually a CD with its own effects.

You obtain hypercharge at level 30 and it increases your weaponskill potencies. You don’t get heat blast until 35 and auto crossbow doesn’t come until 52. This change may help at max level but for the levelling process it would be a nerf to both single target level 30-34 and AoE from 30-52.

Upgrade Hypercharge to Heat Blast at level 35.

Remove Hypercharge and move Rook Autoturret to level 30.

Remove Hypercharge and move Heat Blast to level 30.

Any of those could work.

Doesn’t fix AoE up to level 52, you want to have to use a single target GCD heat blast to activate overheat instead of an oGCD hypercharge?

Hypercharge "releases the energy building in your firearm, causing it to become Overheated, increasing the potency of single-target weaponskills by 20." There is no AoE Hypercharge, regardless, until level 52, at which point Auto Crossbow likewise becomes an activator for the Heated Up window.
