Heat Skill Tree worth it?

[Losse]

For heavy flamer and multi melta? Some of the skills seem meh or terrible. Like -5 crit for 15% damage? And the one that does 10-20% more damage with over 50% heat? Is it 10 or 20? Id be taking the skills to help with heat so will i even ever get over 50 much?

The vulnerability skill and burn effect skill towards the top of the heat tree, do they work, are they any good?

[Valnak]

I've never really figured out why it would be a good tree for anyone when you could go into a more general tree like crit tree which would be better for all purposes.

[Losse]

Well, i'd like to use flamers, multimelta and stuff like that for red maps. Think focus on AE and Crit tree instead of heat?

LOVE the heat tree, as well as the Crit one. My build is based on the Multi-Melta (with crits giving me 3% health) crazy Crit based and I can easily do over 22 minutes in the cathedral. Once I can find a good skill calculator, I would love to share it! :)

[Katitoff]

Its worth it.
You don't need to pick keystones you don't like you know.

Extra dmg when over 50%? Nice
+50% faster cool down? Damn nice
Heat vuln on crit? Omg yes!
Crit hits bestow burn? Sweet lord Jesus...


My lv50 Multi-Melta Crusader rn:

Ranged Combat, Critical, Heat Attacks, Suppression (testing), Movement (testing)
Note: Debuff and/or Damage over Time might be a better investment, I just specced yesterday from melee to this build.

Augumented Body II (always green supp), Unfettered Maneuvering (gotta go fast), Frenzon Dispenser (surely better stuff out there, I just like flat crit)

Warfare 20
