Wow, sir I can't imagine how you got through theoretical math courses, or through analytical essays.

What really doesn't make any sense is they use the term Decrease in [b]ROF[/]. ROF = how quickly it shoots. Reduction to that, It sounds like the gun shoots slower, which is counter productive.]]> Sun, 2 Mar 2014 03:56:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1571462 <![CDATA[Shotgun Proficiency V - by Scout Registry]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1887349#post1887349 mollerz wrote:

Not too great of a difference for such an expensive skill, an RoF bonus on an Alpha Weapon isn't the greatest of ideas.

It's on par with a reload speed bonus on a long range weapon.

I think this calculation is already working on protofits.com please feel free to experiment. You can use it without registering. Blink

from a programming stand point it makes sense.

the shot is

deal damage
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
deal damage

the number of "wait"s is quantifiable to give a 10% rof boost you'd simply remove one "wait". this is very simplified logic btw.]]> Fri, 28 Feb 2014 04:40:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1565920 <![CDATA[Shotgun Proficiency V - by mollerz]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1884386#post1884386

I mean, they're misusing the word rate, but other than that it makes lots of sense from a game engine perspective- of course it's measured as the amount of time the gun has to wait between shots, that's what the game cares about.]]> Fri, 28 Feb 2014 02:01:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1565514 <![CDATA[Shotgun Proficiency V - by Soldier Sorajord]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1883999#post1883999 Awry Barux wrote:

If you check out the weapon spreadsheets in feedback/requests, CCP internally measures ROF in time between shots, not RPM as stated in the weapon info. Therefore a reduction to ROF = reduced time between shots = higher RPM.]]> Fri, 28 Feb 2014 01:57:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1565441 <![CDATA[Shotgun Proficiency V - by TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1883997#post1883997 Chunky Munkey wrote:
