No in my opinion, if you don't have Heat Immunity for any hull then maybe you have Heat Resistance alteration which is more common to get from containers, it still burns you but slower.

Lol, Incendiary Band was originally created for players who don't like to check the ammo bar every 10 seconds or so and just fire non-stop, like a beast. 

 

And the afterburn from the burning effect is well worth the hitpoints being taken away from you. You can also easily heal yourself with a Repair Kit; those are relatively more common nowadays due to Shards.

 

So if you don't have Heat Immunity or Heat Resistance, Incendiary Band is still good in battles. The main thing you'll notice when you don't have Heat Immunity or Resistance is that you're more balanced with non-buyers and everyone else, rather than being a darn Firebird with infinite range.

Heat Immunity is not a necessity for using Vulcan on its own. If it's a necessity for you then I'd have to say the problem is you and not Vulcan.

Maybe Wild meant "while using Incendiary Band".

Doubt I wpild use IB without heat immunity.  The slow projectiles, and fact it takes a while to actually get to the overheating means you will need to self-damage a lot to actually burn enemies.  Spinning down to not kill yourself means it's another wait to start burning again.

And then there's the enemies that have HI.  So if there are enough of them and you don't have HI, you are burning yourself more than the enemies.

Would have preferred no immunities and the fire module reduce overheating like it used to...

Being invincible will get to boring ?

Because it's to easy.

It will be much more fun if you fight against tanks with augments.

All types of augments.

Incendiary Band augment is very good even without Heat Immunity or Resistance. Titan's dome can be used to reduce self damage from afterburn effect. Heavy hulls with mountains of health are perfect to use Incendiary Band and survive.

All thanks to the Shards update, most of the tankers find it quite easy to get supplies from the free containers. Using Repair Kit at the right moment, when you are about run out of health, can make you survive even without Heat Immunity or Resistance.

Heat immunity makes dying impossible(from afterburn). Resistance on the other hand reduces the damage from the effect. If the usage of supplies is properly timed, one can survive and make the best use of the Augment.
