make rapid fire quallity increase speed at which heat builds up

currently it gives maximum heat

it would feel a lot better if it just made heat build up faster. instead of 4 heat per second, quality should make it go up to 6 heat per second at 20%

What?

Max heat is MUCH better than buildup rate, why are you trying to get your own build nerfed lmao

-1000

2 max heat isnt better than 50% heat build up rate.

especially at later levels of the gem when you are already in the 20s for max heat.

Max heat is literally more damage.

Heat, build up here doesn't do anything.Except for the first couple seconds of the map or boss.

What?

I am playing rapid fire

While mapping, most packs die before I'm max heat. you lose heat every time you stop firing and move to a new area. the packs would have died faster if i generated heat quicker, because i didnt reach my max heat anyway.

doing things like chaos trial you often have to stop firing for some reason like to dodge, which loses heat.

when you are fighting a boss you often have to move which loses heat

you are often not full heat while fighting due to a variety of reasons

and when you use the attack damage banner you use lose heat while placing it. a faster heat rate buildup will let you get more high heat shots off while affected by the banner buff. You lose even more heat if you fire a grenade like Oil grenade to apply exposure when you banner.

there is just so many reasons why heat build rate is better than 2 max heat, especially when you have a high max heat around 25-28 anyway. ever heard of diminishing returns?

you will get more damage out of rapid fire with a 50% heat rate boost than if you just had 2 more maximum heat in most cases, despite max heat technically giving you more damage if you just had the opportunity to sit and shoot freely with no danger.
