Coaction Drift mod text

[Bibliothekar]

So, Coaction Drift gives "+15% Aura Strength, +15% Aura Effectiveness" (at max rank). According to the wiki

Quote

Aura Strength increases your aura's strength for everyone. Aura Effectiveness increases your aura's strength for yourself only.

IF that is correct - why not just write "+15% Aura Strength (x2 on self)" on the mod and save us all that headache to find out what you might mean?

Probably because it doesn't work properly, math says that 1 Coaction drift and 3 Corrosive Projections mean over 100% armor reduction but in reality it doesn't fully strip enemies of armor.

If I had to guess, it's because every Drift mod has two effects. Listing just one effect makes Coaction Drift feel like it needs to provide something else. By essentially splitting the effects of "for you" and "for the team" it seems less like it's providing a lesser benefit. Whether or not you agree that it is providing an effect equal to two different bonuses is another subject, of course.
