Banshee > Which Helmet?

[KIREEK]

I got the new helmet recently and i have the old one, simply put one gives extra energy while the other gives power efficiency.

 

Problem is, i don't know which one i should pick if i want more uses with my powers.

 

I have a rank 30 banshee with max flow and maxed streamline, can someone provide a quick math calc to each helmet so i know wich one should i pick?

IMHO they sound like they'll do the same thing if you have both Flow and Streamline equipped :/

I missed the Chorus alert so I can't check.

 

Personally I'd rather have more efficiency, because then I'd maximise what power I have available instead of just being able to hoard more power that I'll burn through anyways.

Chorus, the max power from reverb is a flat increase, i.e. terribad.

Chorus. 

 

10% energy is rather nothing, even for Banshee. 

 

10% power efficiency is far better.

Banshee base energy is 225 at level 30, so you get anywhere from 15 to 22.5 energy.

With Power efficiency power cost is reduced by 10%, meaning you save anywhere from 2.5 to 10 energy per cast, depending on power.

I see  power efficiency is easier to calc now, in case anyone needs this.

 

With 10% more energy i have 465 energy, with streamline that is 465 / 18 (sonic boom cost) = 25.8333 uses

 

With the new helmet that is 40% efficiency, that is 450 / 15 (sonic boom cost) = 30 uses

 

Chorus it is then.

Thanks anyway.

It isn't calculated from level 30, its always calculated from unranked level 0.
