buffs and weapon ability question

pino31

Do weapon buff abilities effect all weapon upgrade abilities(like torpedo spread for example) in any order?

Activate torpedo spread then activate tactical team for example. Will torpedo spread still have the tactical team buffs?
Or does it have to be activated first and then the weapon abilities like torpedo spread or beam overloads?
I have a bad habit of activating a weapon upgrade ability before firing the buffs. I hope it doesn't matter as long as all of them are activated before I fire?

Should definitely effect before you fire, and I think it might work before the torps hit too. If you're on PC, you try setting up your bars to where Tac Team and Attack Patterns are easier to get to than the weapon enhancements, making the distinction irrelevant.

As far as I can tell that all relevant existing weapon buffs will be applied when the weapon fires, with the possible exception of abilities that are intentionally prevented from applying when they logically should but as long you apply the buffs before you fire the order in which you use abilities shouldn't matter.

Most abilities proc on firing cycle meaning they can be activated before or after something like Fire At Will. If however, you want to make sure the buff applies to the entire duration of FAW, it's best to trigger the buff first.
