I disagree. It's an extremely versatile anti-infantry weapon. It's suited for area denial, and like any real weapon emplacement, it only works well when you are well supported. It's a team-based weapon, and not meant to be a one-man-army defense tool.

The Mana Turret is a force multiplier. For example, indoor environments like Tech Plants provide a good lane of fire, and good protection around each side. Fire in bursts, and you can hit long range targets. It's a good MAX killer, too. And, with certification, the heating issue can be resolved.

In defense of an Amp Station yesterday, I was using one to great success. I think I got about twenty-five kills in one position before being overrun, defending alongside a Heavy Assault and a Medic.
