Dps build help.

Peace brothers and sisters \m/

Am looking for help with my pure dps build I want a nice mix of raw dps with some survivability, now as I have the C-sure Arbitor I have losely been following Guide With the idea of boosting my disruptor dmg using the 3 set Beam set items and the Terren beam array

The Space set am farming is the Iconian and I have the 3 out of 4 set items  

Now i understand am missing some key items in Consoles and the fleet version of my ship,  but they will come in time.

But in truth am kinda flying blind here and before I go and spend my fleet credits and dill I was hoping on some feedback or if am really messing myself up or sould i be focusing on something else ???

I have been reading up on info to improve my dps.

Be careful as a lot of info is outdated. I like the ico set but ther might be better alternatives. Consoles I am using rep consoles along with plasamonic leach and fleet locators. I can not acces game to list the other consoles.

James linked a very good fleet warp core last night, which buffed power transfer. I hoe that helps a bit

Hey,

Can you fill this out http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com and post the link here?

Just so we can get a proper good look at what you have at the moment!

I have added the info you wanted to the first post further updates will be made there.

Is there anyway I can upload say a combat log to give you more infomation ?

[Trudard]

I have had a look at your build. What modifiers are on your beams? You will probably want to replace them at some point with crafted PEN + CrtD/Dmg mods.

As you are using disrupters I suggest you get the House of Martok 360 degree disrupter. That would potentially allow this ship to use dual beam banks at the front - increasing dps. However, if you have a lot of cruisers with 8 weapon slots it might not be effective.

I have vulnerability locators slotted - but I have been advised to get exploiters which increases crt severity.

If you can you would benefit from and Engineer RCS Accelerator EPS console but they are not cheap and very hard to get the right mod when crafting.
Also there are good and very cheap Elite Fleet plasma injected warp cores which increase energy transfer rates - they have very good mods and its something to consider.

Bridge officers, from what i have read ( i am no expert) you need to double up abilities - i am starting to experiment with this so i would rather someone with practical knowledge advise.

Duty Officers can be used to reduce the cooldown of your Boff abilities - very expensive to buy unfortunately.

I hope this is of some use to you.

Thanks Thudard, Ill look into dual beam banks, but am slightly worried about uptime with them only being 90° my flying isnt the best, but I have watched enough guides to get better with time.


I to have been looking at my Boffs, but in truth I need more of a experanced guide / more experance to see what works and what dosn't.

If am being 100% truthfull I have 0 clue about Doffs, I have looked into what would be good, but tbh I just gessing.

[Trudard]

Yes you have to slot what works best for you and your style and as I said I use a lot of cruisers so for me it has to be beam arrays. I have experimented with cannons but it limited me to two ships on the character i chose.

There are guides (such as: DPS-Guide ) on the internet but bare in mind that due to the massive changes (nurff) this year they are out of date - but the Boff and doff info is still valid. Its quite logical most guide advise using doffs to reduce Boff cool downs and using keybindings (attaching a string of commands to one key). Again it is something i have just started playing with and in all honesty I would look at just getting your gear good first.
