^ "Efficiency can not exceed 175%" only partly correct. "the resulting drain/energy usage can't exceed 175%" would be more correct, for draining abilities you take efficiency values uncapped for the calculation (so even values over 175% are used for the draining calculation), but the result can't exceed 25% of the base value.

to test that this is correct, just go negative duration (~50%) and equip mods for 175% efficiency. look at the arsenal draining value, then equip mods for 190% efficiency (Fleeting max) and see that there is a difference!

many don't know this and it wasn't explained by DE when they introduced the duration drain influence.
