Can anyone explain to me why were ham costs increased for our specials???

I can't be sure if I noticed this tonight or not. I was on muon and fishank and was draining my mind at an alarming rate with headshot2 - more than it seemed I was pre-patch. Although, I could be wrong - I never really paid attention as closely as I did tonight. Of course headshot2 sucks down the mind pool with the T21 anyway, but it just seemed to drain faster than usual. But, who knows I'm tired as hell so I could've imagined it too

I drained half of my action bar spamming Conceal shot on Muon Gold. I think something definitely happened.

Have to agree, something strange happened with the HAM costs. Ryshcate seems to negate most of it though, I love chefs.<we need a heart simlely face thingy

as near as I have been able to tell, hte costs haven't changed at all. anyone else not see a change?

the specials have definately increased HAM costs...i'm usually on Moun, and either Tat sunburns or Breath of Heaven. I did one or two Mind Shot 1's and the sword mind bleed, and I was about half way down w/ action and mind was nearly done.

before the patch, on the gold and Heaven, I couldn't lower my Mind even w/ constant heals.

something is definately going on here.

i didn't notice any change.

The cost definatly went up I use a variety of rifles and all the HAM costs went up. I use a DLT2.0a has 26 mind cost to fire headshot 3 used to cost 52 mind per a hit now it cost 65. Though it dosn't seem like a big jump in cost and I regen that pretty quick, when using a T21 my mind drains quite fast. I think they changed the formula for each ability. I think in goes something like this: (Rifle's mind cost) x 2 = Old formula, now its a bigger something around 2.5. Thats why its costing more to fire your special shot formula is now (Rifle's mind cost) x 2.5 = Actual mind cost. Hope this helps answer your question.

They changed the formula for calculating the actual cost for a special shot. It use to be (Rifle's mind cost) x 2 = Actual cost now it is (Rifle's mind cost) x 2.5 = Actual cost. That little 2.5 starts to hurt after awhile. Hope this answers some questions.

So... did they change this for ALL professions?

Or did they stealth-nerf (lie, not communicate, screw up, however you want to call it) jsut Rifleman?

Ah the payment for removing 2.5x melee penalty has started. I'm sure the next step will be far more painful.

Muon dos nothing to help your action bar, only mind.
