Currently charged plasma shots restore the same amount of contested hp as an uncharged shot, with that value being extremely low for the time to fire.
I am putting this in bugs, as I am assuming this is unintentional given how bad it is.

The latest 7.0 fix announcement states that restore contested hp has been drastically nerfed.​

I'm aware they said it was capped/reduced in effectiveness however this is too extreme of a reduction. While it is not in this clip I was testing plasma rifle as well, and even hitting groups of enemies I was getting almost no contested hp.

Right now charged shots and uncharged shots restore the same contested health regardless of targets hit, and that is exceedingly bad.

Have to agree, Under what  flawed logic does it make sense that spending longer time charging and them doing more damage should result in the same CHR as a regular pulse shot.... what a joke this has become I hope this is a bug. Melee CHR is already a joke (especially charged ones) now strong charged ranged attacks are given the same joke treatment... hmm not smart design.
