Here's an idea as a companion to the heat boosters you can buy in the market. It would be rather nice if you could optionally buy a heat slot upgrade slot. It would simply hold any item you like, and acquire heat with you on the run. You can pay a little CE and level up extra equipment, or if you really need to, allow yourself to keep certain equipment on that you need in order to remain effective in the zone.
Of course the item in the heat slot is unusable and provides no stats. It just heats armor, weapons, shields, etc. Whatever you put in it.
Sounds like a good idea. Been in some scenarios myself where I was heating a low * item and wished I had my regular buffs.
