Okay, I made the plunge and bought the Incinerator. I love it! ARGH!!!. The Brawler is a POS compared to the Incinerator. I was afraid the Incinerator will suck just like my Brawler. It is my first mech (Excluding fred), and it has left me an awful initial impression of the C-classes. (I always choose the heavyweight and most bulky classes in games, so of course I'd pick a C class mech in this game and Brawler's description fits what I was looking for. But sadly, it failed to live up to what it is advertised as. A tank_ My ass! More like a walking cannon fodder, a sitting duck.)
Now.. the Incinerator, finishing people off with the ability is great fun. I repeat, finishing people off. Incinerator ability should not be used to deal damage, it is only used as a last resort to finish someone off or to go out in a blast when you know you are done for and hope one of your teammate will finish them off for you.
I love how I literally never need to stop firing my gatling gun. Standing near my teammates to collect heat from them so they can fire more rounds without overheating which is really helpful. Using their heat as a weapon for myself.
No downtime at all... AWESOME! He does suck at range though. Team deathmatch and deathmatch where people just play poke and dodge with sharpshooters is his main weakness.
But in objective based games like Siege or Missile silo, he is bloody awesome to play.
