Here is the issue:
I use Beam: fire at will 3 on my character. I have Entwined tactical matrices slotted, thus I get torp spread 1 every time I use fire at will.
I also slot, on a separate tactical boff, Torp spread 3. I then alternate between the two to keep FAW up, although not 100% uptime, combined with redirecting arrays, it's close enough.
since the last patch or two (when I first noticed something was off, possibly slightly longer) this has not been how it works.
I did some testing and discovered the issue. Usually, you can't have two firing modes active, and the game defaults to the higher level one...IE: if you have torp spread III active, you can't/wont activate torp spread I. it won't show in the active buffs bar, because the higher level torp spread overruled it.
This is no longer the case. I now show torp spread I and III active at the same time...which means:
1: I use torp spread III, I get torp spread III and fire at will I.
2: Fire at will goes on cooldown along with torp spread III
3: Fire at will III goes *off* of cool down, and I use it. I get fire at will 3 and torp spread 1 (which should be overruled by the still running torp spread 3, but is not..effectively resetting my timer back to 30 seconds. Torp spread 3 wears out (and I should be able to reuse torp spread 3, but i can't because the new torp spread 1,which should have been overruled by torp spread 3 still running is going for it's full timer as well)
Thus: i can refire beam overload 3 over and over(25 second cooldown) and effectively never be able to hit torp spread 3..where previously one could alternate between the two.
To reproduce: slot Entwined tactical matrices trait. Use torpedo spread 2 or 3. activate beam fire at will 2 or 3. Observe active buffs. You will have torpedo spread 2 or 3 *and* torpedo spread 1 active.
