Need advice about Ammo


Ogi-Wan-BG

Recommended Posts

Hello Vanguards :) Recently I have started a DPS Vanguard(31lv) in assault build. Thats the build till now : http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801hMZbcZfhMoz.1

Now I have a problem with fast ending Ammo. When fighting in WZ if I kill some1 found myself without ammo which most times lead to dead ;( When fighting with full ammo I have no trob with most classes.

So my question is how to better manage my ammo ? Friend of mine told me to hit Hammer shot after every other skill. Most time my combo looks like this : Iced Round, Sticky Grenade, Cryo , Ion Pulse, Stock Strike .

Thanks

I would probably pull enough points out of SS and Tactics to give yourself Parallactic Combat Stims, Rapid Recharge, and Ionic Accelerator. Make sure you are using Recharge Cells as often as you can when your ammo is getting dumped and your regen is low. Free High Impact Bolts from Accelerator will help with conservation, as well.

 

You need to be mindful that Incendiary Round (IR) takes 3 ammo, so it's a big ammo drain, especially without Reserve Powercells. I think your friend gave useful advice to incorporate Hammer Shot more frequently, this should help in conservation + keeping your regen high.

You NEED to get High-Friction Bolts and Ionic Accelerator. They will do much more for your DPS than the SS/Tactics talents. With those, you get a free HiB every ~9s that restores 1 ammo, and does huge, armor-penetrating damage. Until you max out those two talents, your ammo management is going to suck as Assault. Respec and get them.

Indeed.

 

 

You could also try full tactics for leveling and respec assault once you hit 40+. Ammo isnt a problem than and the run speed buff is really nice :D Hold the line is awesome to.

Pulse generator is the next thing to skill in both cases!
