All 3 bars are always affected when firing special attacks. I can only assume that the HAM costs on your E11 are fairly high, probably do to the crafter not experimenting, and that you are using HAM instensive specials.


For instance overcharged shot has a ham use rate of .5 health, .5 action, .5 mind. Whereas fullautosingle2 uses 2X health, 2.5X Action, .5X mind.


So basically just multiply your HAM in each category by the usage of the skill. If you have a E11 with 40 health, 50 action, and 30 mind as your HAM usage,and you fire off your fullautosingle 2 your going to take 80 health, 125 action, and 15 mind dmg. Do that enough and you could kill yourself before long.


You just have to get as low a HAM cost weapon and be concious of which special abilites use how much of each HAM points. For a list of HAM costs per special go here:http://www.swgcenter.com/info/SpecialMove.asp?ID=46 that is where I got my numbers from. I hope this helps.
