It feels like the Plasma Incinerator has been power-crept.
As the title says. On launch, the plasma incinerator on Tactical felt amazing, and was definitely a contender for one of his strongest weapons. And yet, with the bolt weapons all getting buffed multiple times, the added difficulty ratings, and stratagem modifiers, it feels like it's been left by the wayside.
You can still perform with it, and it's good enough to take into stratagems, but you really have to lean on that Plasma Boost perk for all it has, and since Techmarine doesn't have that, I don't think I've seen a single person actually run plasma incinerator on Techie.
In my opinion, Plasma Boost should be changed to an end-cap perk on the Incinerator itself, maybe with an opposing end-cap perk that increases uncharged shot damage significantly. I'd also bump up the baseline damage of the plasma incinerators a bit to make it more competitive with the bolt or pyre weapons.
