[MCH Request] Is it possible to have the 30 second ammo time-out removed?

We ought to be speaking from a gameplay perspective, as there is a separate forum for lore. As such, one should establish mechanics first before justifying it with lore.

And from a mechanical standpoint, there is no reason for ammo to be on a timer like it is. A measly +60 potency at best doesn't warrant it.

Considering the present state of MCH's, this change should have been implemented ages ago. Unless they're saving the timer for a future interaction we know nothing about, as it stands today, it would be nothing more than a QoL improvement; which means we'll see it rolling on live pretty soon and yayyyy! lol. No more messing around my QR cd because of delayed pulls :D

Do you think you know what it means?

Cause i have a fear that this means, that the SKILL Reload will remain in effect until all ammo is used. Aka: It wont go on Cooldown until we used all 5 Ammo.
Which.. would be a really bad nerf, fucking over all of our timings.

I hope you're wrong, I hope it only means the timer has been removed and that it will now can be used like chakra V for monk (without any timer anymore).
I'm scared now, we will see but I hope it will be a change in a good way :/

There's no way this is true. "in effect" just makes it like aetherflow. Several skills stay "in effect" but don't make the countdown hold till it's gone, tank/cleric stances etc. Even statuses that stay in effect a limited time like buffs, swiftcast etc...the cooldown starts when popped, not used up.

Yeah, I'm 99.9% sure it's just bad wording. I guess they just put Reload because ammunition by itself isn't a skill / trait (though they didn't include Quick Reload with that)

In the german patchnotes its called "Spezialprojektil geladen", which is the description of your ammunition buff/stacks. I think its now like aetherflow stacks without having a 30s timer.
