Pre todays hotfix, I fired strafe2 with my 7.1 T21 at right around 1.5s, without my +7 riflespeed ubese shirt.

Today, I fire strafe2 with the same T21 at around 3.5s, without my +7 riflespeed ubese shirt.

Today, I fire strafe2 with the same T21 at around 1.1s, with my +7 riflespeed ubese shirt.


something fishy here

out of curiousity, are you a master marksman? i'm trying to get the numbers to work.

for your intial set of data: 7.1 spd gun firing strafe2 with +95 (master marksman/rifle) should be 1.3 secs per shot or so. with master rifle only, it's a whopping 2.5 secs/shot.
so, i'm assuming master marksman/rifle, or you have other SEA's active to the tune of +4 speed or so.

given that, using your +7 speed shirt should give you rifle speed +101/102--- guaranteed cap. so, i can't figure out why you wouldn't fire at 1.0 secs in your second example.

Of course I'm a master.


Not sure why but my times have gone up noticeably.


Not saying there was a nerf, read the topic, it has a ? at the end. I am asking if anyone else has noticed the same.

Also it has been my experience that the formulas we've derived are only accurate to +/- 1.0 seconds.

How does the rifle speed skill enhancements work. If I have a 7.8 T21, how does a +10 rifle speed enhancement lower the speed at which I fire? I'm interested in the maths part.


Thanks.

Now I know the poster is lying if he states he got help from a CSR.

As far as the math is concerned here it goes:


actualSpeed = [weaponSpeed] * [reloadModifier] * [100 - (speedSkil/100) ]. To absolute minimum of 1 of course.
