Has something happend with this?

My rifle has a mind cost of 41, but whenever I shoot I get drained for 88-126 in mind, I am totally without mind in a few shots.

Anyone know whats causing this? I've been using the same weapon for a week but didnt experince this until yesterday.

look at the description of the rifle. You will see a HAM cost. You ADD those three numbers and that is generally the amount taken from your mind.

I have no idea if this is a bug or intended...sometimes the number is a little more and sometimes its a little less.

Hmm, I see didnt know all three would hit my mind, but the stats are 13/14/41 which doesnt really add up to 80ish-120ish mind damage pr shots fired.

I am wondering if something is bugged, 2 days ago I was just spamming the headshot 2 or 3 key against larger mobs, today my mind is drained after 8 or 9 shots, put me against an NPC with a rifle and I am in huge trouble if I cant kill him in the first few rounds.

I am playing a human with max willpower/focus/mind and wearing usually clothes or full chitin (sometimes helmet sometimes not)

I have found the following linkto be an invaluable resource for info on stuff like this ... http://www.swgcenter.com/info/SpecialMoves.asp

As you can see Headshot III has a 2.5 mind cost multiplier so with a rifle with a 41 mind cost you should be losing ( 41 * 2.5 = 102.5 ) 103 mind per Headshot III which seems to be right in the range you were seeing. Of course I think this then gets reduced based on either your willpower or focus (which one isn't regen, I forget) but it still should be right around there

Excellent Gaef thanks for the link it makes alot more sense now, I guess I will have tocut back a bit on the HS3

Or if you know you're going to be in one big fight, just buff up on spice.

Muon Gold seems to be the best for rifle-users, imho.

I just use it before the battle (normally against huge mobs) and spam headshot3 like nobody's business.

the downer kind of sucks, but you get what you pay for.
