    This is a lot of fun, first run with it got 1 kill, 7 assists, 600+ damage. Heat isn't too bad; I chain fire the AC2's.

    I'm not sure why you chain the AC2's. The cooldown and reset of the chainfire doesn't work well with the AC2's.

    Chain firing AC2's allows for basically a continuous stream; I mainly use it as a harasser as opposed to doing any real damage.

    Chain firing also allows me to scare off lights as it's easier to land some shots with a steady stream as opposed to group firing them.

    Ac2s got a general heat reduction, and non-macro chainfire loses ~ 33% DPS (2 shots every seconds instead of every 2/3rds of a second)

    I run it like this but with XL320 and a lot less DHS :)



    Or you can get an XL300, with Flamers or SL against pesky lights that get super close. Flamers are really good since new skill tree made everyone run hotter and when they shut down you can walk back a little and blast with the PPCs, and they don't generate a lot of heat in the beginning while SLs do.
