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

[AI_wass]

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

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.
