I never said that Necrons shouldn't repair! Merely meant that the "Feel No Pain" rules works much more smoothly to represent the same thing as "We'll Be Back". WBB is to complicated with what happens to Necrons whose units got wiped out, but they weren't killed because they were "down" and waiting to "get back up". To complicated. Feel No Pain meant to represent the same mid-battle self-repairs, just is a more gamer-friendly way.
With Gauss weapons, there's really no advantage except for killing vehicles and really tough creatures. Since you can do that with rending, I figured that that was a batter way to represent that. But as I found out when I play tested this idea, that is so over powered, even Necron players themselves would feel guilty! So, I thought Gets Hot! would even that out a bit.
But, whether you don't like them or not, it really doesn't matter because in the end GW has the final say...
