What's everyone's take on some combat skills having its own ammunition instead of just recast timers?
I don't actually remember if it was like this in prior Mass Effects. I normally played I thin...

Grenades were numbered. Whilst weaponry would make you 'slower', which meant more CD upon your powers, as already explained. Relying on powers would make you able to ditch weapons, making you lighter, better CD. Ammo types weren't consumables either, so as long as you could shoot, special ammo would always be delivered.
For this new setting, I wasn't charmed to use any power from the Combat tree. So I cannot really say if it bothers me or not. What I can grasp from enough feedbacks around here though, is that it tends to be really bad in Insanity, when you have enemies which are bullet sponges, which means you'll run out of powers before long, as you also may run out of ammo. The game starts feeling like Resident Evil, when you'll rely only on your melee weapon, if you are not wary of your ammunition.

I always have a weapon around that doesnt need ammo. So there is always one I can use.
