There is some consensus amongst Vanguards that our tactics tree is inferior to assault as dps goes primarily due to a lack of synergy in the tree itself, and because of High Energy Cell which appears to be the trees intended cell.

Some suggestions to remedy this apparent dps and synergy imbalance:

Battering Ram: in addition to removing cost from the next stock strike it should also immediately end its cooldown.

Combine Battlefield Training and Cell generator into one ability. Move shock absorbers to battlefield trainings location add a new skill in shock absorbers spot

New Skill: "Tactical Strike"- per point stock strike has a 15% chance and high impact bolt has a 25% chance to immediately apply all remaining damage on guts bleed effect and generate 1 ammo.

High Energy Cell: quick math indicates this cell is increasing average dps by ~1/4 of the dps provided by plasma cell. To make this more even, consider having the damage increase apply to all damage types, or adding armor penetration, or a small internal damage dot (1/2 or less of plasmacells)
