There's never been any explanation. A lot of people consider this a nerf and I know people who specced into Cal Assault because of that bonus. I was really looking forward to it.
If it's a nerf fine or whatever your reasons were...fine, just tell us please! Can we please know why it was changed? |

If anything the reload bonus needed a buff, maybe to 3% per level. Seems like no Cal Assaults want the new bonus. |

Just use sprint to cut off like 25% of the reload timer... seriously.. reload speed is pointless. (I just found this out a couple weeks ago myself). |

What are you talking about? You can't reload while running. And reload speed can be a life saver. |

It works switching weapons as well. Useful when you need to switch primary-sidearm-primary, so when you come back to your light weapon... magic! Fully reloaded!
Just cut the reload animation before it ends.
Side note: Being a glitch, I expect this might get patched.

I've been doing this for a while.
Atleast it got rid of that glitch where your weapon wouldn't reload  |

Meh the sprint thing is no help when you want to stay where you are and stay oriented on where you've been shooting. |

The reload bonus is more interesting. It's something you can notice instead of something that just gives you 20 or so more shields. Plus it gives Cal Assault an interesting option of a speed shotgun build. |

Everytime I saw one of those, even PROTO ones, I just laughed and killed them with my freefit Scout. |

Well with plenty of shields, a damage mod, and a kin cat it seems to me it could be pretty effective with the reload bonus, especially with breach...but now I'll never know. |

This video by Jonny Pew shows a good example of the benefit of the reload bonus. Look how often he reloads and how fast it is. You can see the difference. He's able to reload quickly without it being this big pause so he reloads a lot in case he needs to unload the clip at some point. The bonus enables you to do this.

I think I will love the taste of the new salt.
Even stronger shields... Mmm.... It's iodine enriched! |

Honestly... I think all of the assault suits should get a bonus directly related to their racial weaponry 'rifles'. Similar to the Amarr Assault Bonus.
Until we have the min and cal rifles released though. its probably pointless.
things like 2% shield extender bonus probably belong on the basic frame suits.. given their more generic roles.
until then... we probably have a good 6-8 months before wolfman fixes the sprint reload glitch... so just enjoy the free hp in the meantime  |

My C-7's could wash away that salt. |

I think I've only been fluxed up once or twice, and I still killed the guy, he threw a little too late.
Grenades a impossible to get killed/assist regularly with.
But anyways, my opinion doesn't count, all my suit specializations are to level one only, but now I thinking might finally sow the Salt past level one with this bonus to HP. |

tangentially related, move reload speed away from weapon specific kills into separate skills for light/heavy/sidearms and unlock the general reload skill at lvl 3 or 4 of the respective operation skill. Make it a higher multiplier. |

If I'm not mistaken, its just a flat 2% to hybrid weapon reload speed.
The Amarr sentinel has the same 2% to heavy weapon reload speed.
It doesn't say per level on the skill description, and as a heavy user since open beta im positive its not a 10% increased reload speed to my HMG.
