Lets say your gun does XdY damage per shot (It doesn't matter how many shots it fires in a single volley).
If X is lower than Y, your gun gains X - (X/(Y+1)) per shot.
If Y is lower than X, your gun gains (Y/2) per shot.
In AoMC, it just increases the damage by X or Y per shot (It chooses the lower one)
Whereas a tech mod is a flat +25% to your damage per second, unless you need to reload your weapon a lot.
As such, tech mods are much more useful in a MAc run from a purely damage-per-second perspective. Hmm...
ChaoticJosh:
I'd like to say thanks to Sylph for the nice guide, it helped me quite a bit.
sorear:
A tech mod is only 15% to DPS, and due to rounding, a tech modded normal weapon goes 1.0, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6.
Running mode does not increase armor. It does, however, decrease monster to-hit (ranged and melee) by 4 and give +20% to active defense checks (monster is much more likely to shoot at your old position).
ChaoticJosh:
So you're saying a Tech mod is more useful than a power mod the first time, but less useful each time after that?
sorear:
Maybe. The relative utility of tech mods and power mods is variable depending on weapon stats.
