OldMike Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ok folks, I changed a few mods on some gear and all of a sudden my ammo doesn't seem to last as long. I've tried changing some mods back but I can't figure out what could possibly make that kind of change. Is it just my imagination or will a certain stat actually effect the ammo? I'm a lvl 35 Commando 100% Gunnery tree. And the changes did not happen at the new lvl I was in the middle of lvl 34 when it started. Thanks in advance for your help.

Guurzak Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's your imagination, or something else changed at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKivlov Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If you put alacrity in your gear, you'll dump your ammo a lot faster and it won't get as much regen time per attack as if you didn't have it. If you dump all your crit, cell charger won't proc as often. If you forget to enable AP Cell, then cell charger won't proc at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLapp Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If you took away a lot of crit and had 2 points in cell charger you could not getting as much benefit from that skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think in doing so I removed some power... could that have done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it safe to say that if I just find a way to add some crit that should swing things back the other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKivlov Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Have you changed your rotation at all? Plasma Grenade is incredibly inefficient on mana and so is explosive round. ER should never be used once you're past level 20 and Plasma only if you make it cost 0 ammo, or if you hit 3+ targets.

Mostly using Grav Round, HIB and the occasional Full Auto. What about if I lowered AIM? I remember changing a few mods from 22A/15E to 15A/22E... which would result in lowering my AIM by at least 14 points. I really appreciate everyone's help. I would just go in change a bunch of mods and experiment but that gets a little expensive when I don't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKivlov Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Lowering aim will lower your crit. You never want to lose aim on a piece of gear unless you're gaining a buttload of something else since aim gives everything. But other than that, stats don't affect ammo regen. Stay in the 4th tier as much as possible with liberal use of hammershot to keep from dropping to 7 ammo and you'll be fine.

OldMike Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Maybe that's in then.... I know I changed a few mods to bump up Endurance thinking I needed that. But obviously AIM is more important? If so then at least I have an idea of what to try first. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKivlov Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Doubt that's the problem. a couple percent worth of crit isn't going to make that large of an impact on cell charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know I would have dropped at least 14 points of AIM. Maybe more by the time I was done. The bottom line though is to increase crit in whatever way I can right?
