What is channeling efficiency, and what does it do?
So, most mods that had "Charge speed" or "charge damage" have now been replaced with "Channeling efficiency" as a stat.
What does Channeling efficiency do? When it says "+30% Channeling Efficiency", what exactly is happening? Does it mean it costs less energy per melee hit while channeling, does it mean I get more damage out of channeling, does it have any other effect?
Best Answer
Channeling happens when you hold down the left mouse button while in melee mode, and (at base) converts 5 Energy into extra damage on your next melee hit.
Channeling Efficiency reduces the amount of energy each hit consumes to a minimum of 1 Energy per hit, so "30% channel efficiency" would mean your attacks consume 5*0.7=3.5 energy per strike.
