Not as much as you might think. You see, cooldown speed is pretty much irrelevant.

There is the regular cooldown speed that would take effect if you were to stop firing before you overheat. This is the one the the ScR operation skill affects.
To be quite honest, this speed is largely useless, because of the stupid way that ScRs heat up(heat over time rather than heat per shot). Thing is, because of the way that it is, the ScR heats up just as fast no matter how fast or slow the trigger is pulled, and there is a delay before the cooldown actually starts to take effect.

Then there is the sieze time. This is a static timer. On the ScRs it is 5 seconds, and it plays whenever the rifle overheats. This is the one that determines how long the animation of waving the rifle around in the air lasts.
This is the important timer. This on ehas a much much larger impact on the user than the cooldown speed.

Fair enough, I will admit I'm not a huge fan of the Scrambler Rifle (though the Laser Rifle is a ton of fun) so I dont know a ton about it.

Another point of curiosity, would a bonus that reduced overheat duration be beneficial?

Yes yes yes.
But honestly, being able to fire more rounds before overheating is much better than reducing the size duration.
It would be more ideal to just avoid the overheat completely than it would be to reduce its pu ishment, ya know?

Less Heat Generation>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Less Sieze Duration>>>Faster Cooldown Speed. You dig?

Do you think people would even bother if it took that many to only gain 6 shots? Sure why not. In those really close quarters fights those 6 shots might be the difference between over heating and getting a flaylock round to the face. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

It's like a dumber, easier to use, but less interesting version of the Scrambler Rifle. This is why I use Gallente Weapons, because I'm terrible at the game. Maybe I should too...... this aiming my rifle thing is something I could never get down....which is why I drive tanks. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.
