I kind of wish they would remove damage barrel mods

Agreed!

This is game design 101. Bake the +damage in the gun / power / character ability whatever, because players will ALWAYS take +damage over everything else.

Since I don;t do a lot of research into the numbers of this game i have no clue how beneficial things like accuracy mods.

I don't always put on that barrel mod. I really hate not being able to shoot through cover, so the receiver is always my first choice. If I feel a gun could use more ammo or if I play a melee-fähig character, I opt for the ammo clip and melee respectively and won't use the barrel...

I am guilty of always barreling...
your posts always make so much sense...you get another gold star!

I honestly don`t see removing barrel making modding more interesting.

People will still just take mandatory clip size mod anyway. (or smartchoke on shotgun)

Is it really better?

Maybe one that when you shoot people it heals you, or when you headshot someone they explode. Wait....

I just think with current mods we have... having damage barrel actually make us think more about how to use second slot.

If there is no damage barrel.. filling those two mod slots would be really no brainer...

Sometimes I don`t even use barrel. Like on my H.Vanguard. Ruzad(Siphon)/choke/melee..

- increases weak point damage by 25% but reduces weapon damage by 10%
- increases weapon damage by 20% but no longer deals bonus damage to weakpoints
- increases weapon damage by 50% but consumes 2 rounds per shot
- swapping to this weapon is 100% faster
- killing an enemy with the weapon increases power damage by 5% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times
- reduces weapon damage by 15% but increases power recharge speed by 15%
- the final round in the magazine can detonate combos
- reduces the number of shots required to prime an enemy with ammo powers by 20%
- increases the damage bonus of ammo powers by 100%
- reduces weapon damage by 50% but increases power damage and force by 30%
- each shot fired has a 10% chance to reload one round back into the magazine
- reduces weapon damage by 90% but increases all power damage and recharge speeds by 75%
- increases damage against shields by 20%
- increases damage against armor by 20%
- increases damage against enemies affected by biotic effects by 20%

Power damage mod would be really nice with current games. 

I can`t get enough power boosting since XX bonus...  lol

Nah, they should add a 4th variant for every weapon with pink colors and a 3rd mod slot


This is a joke, please Bioware, don't do it or they'll kill me
