The bug
Ashley in Mass Effect 3 has a bug that was introduced with a patch to the game, where she has no cooldown on Marksman. Once she uses it, she will typically endlessly spam it and essentially do nothing in battle. The issue is that they changed how the cooldown is set, but the code does not exist on AI classes, so it never sets a cooldown. As such, Ashley endlessly uses it. It appears to be an oversight where they did not implement this cooldown code for the AI.
The fix
This is a fix for the Marksman power, but it's implemented by reverting the patch BioWare made to the power, rather than changing Ashley's files to not make the
patch apply.
This means it will not trigger a compatibility conflict - and if you use mods that do 'fix' Marksman, it won't break them either. This patch is just a couple of kilobytes and works on all instances of Ashley, modded or not, so you will always have a working Ashley with this mod installed.
Installation
You MUST use ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install this mod. This is not a Custom DLC or basegame mod!
1. Setup ME3Tweaks Mod Manager following direction on it's page
2. MAKE A GAME BACKUP if you haven't already. If something goes wrong with your modding and you skip the backup, you'll regret it!
3. Drag and drop the archive onto the interface
4. Either import + apply mod, or just directly install in the importing window. Importing will allow you to get updates in the event I update this mod (I have plans to test bioware's proper patched implementation to see if it is improved, or if this is just a bad patch).
Note: You cannot see what is installed into the TESTPATCH module. It is safe to re-apply this mod again and again, it will not hurt it.
THIS MOD CAN BE INSTALLED SAFELY AFTER TEXTURE MODDING. Mod Manager will detect this mod is being installed to TESTPATCH, which contains no textures and is not modified by texture modding programs. Do not assume this logic applies to other mods!
Uninstallation
If for some reason you wish to uninstall this mod, restore TESTPATCH from ME3Tweaks Mod Manager > Manage Target > Modified DLC. You must have created a game backup to remove it.
