Fusion Rifle Charge Time

[Pocahawtness]

Why does the charge time never seem to change when you select a battery (or whatever) that says it has a lower charge time?

it does on some and isnt that of a big change

Because programming is hard. They mentioned it here[www.bungie.net].
"- Both converted to scale charge time and damage instead of modifying the charge time stat.
- The final effect is much the same as before, but these are now more robust, however they won't visibly change the charge time stat in the inspection screen. " and masterwork paragraph.

Perks provide roughly ±40 charge time and ±2% dmg depending on the battery.

there is also a cap to how much you can lower the charge time, it cant go below a certain speed

The 2 only two perk who change the charge time is Accelered Coils (Faster Charge Time) and Liquid Coils (Slower charge time)

There is also Cornered, Kickstart, Successful Warmup, Backup Plan and probably even more that I can‘t remember right now

I seem to remember a video on youtube in which the guy was shaping a particular fusion rifle and he, in passing, noted that the charge time didn't change no matter what perk he selected.
I noticed this before, but recently with one that I think had a base charge time of 940. There are two batteries to choose from but although one says it decreases charge time, it doesn't. However, increasing the level (which is only 3 at the moment) does reduce the charge time successfully (by about 4 each time).
These are small numbers, I suppose, but I was just wondering.
I wouldn't call it hard programming, I would call it lazy, lol. But it's no real bother as long as we know it actually does something.

Because there is literally no difference between 600 and 500 charge time.

You would feel a difference if the charge time went from 500ish to 100 or 50.

But Bungie doesnt allow any actually notworthy buffs to their weapons and armor, every buff and edge that you have by masterworking/using mods/getting a decent roll is always just miniscule.

If you want a game where the weapons don't all behave the same and masterworking/modding a weapon actually feels like it does something, then D2 is not for you.

A good example is stability and reload speed masterworks. The stats keeping getting better as you work towards masterwork but you will never feel a difference.
