Ground question: Ambush DOFF

So, the Ambush DOFF you can get out of the Embassy, are they useful and worth getting? (Putting aside the high cost for the moment.)

Are they worth giving up having like a bigger amount of Security Escorts in PvE and/or PvP for the damage resistance boosts that Ambush could give?

Do they even work?

I just don't see a lot on these DOFFs, and if they are worth getting and using, or just skippable.
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Whoops, guess it would help if I put that.


    They are Romulan DOFFs you can buy from the Embassy, Security Officers specifically. They give a chance that each time you hit the ability Ambush, it gives a chance to proc a damage resistance buff on yourself.

    You can use up to three of these DOFFs. Each higher quality DOFF gives a larger chance to proc and I think a larger buff.

    I'm just curious if they're worthwhile to use at all. Like do the effects of multiple DOFFs stack? Or can only one proc at max, etc.

    They work, they provide (if I recall correctly from testing) about 35 points of numerical All Damage Resistance, and I do not believe that they multi-proc. If I recall correctly, the dr buff does not remove itself when you burn your ambush on a target. I would have to do more testing to tell you more about them. They are definitely worth considering for team play, although in 1v1 a successful SE3 spam proc is usually an automatic win.

    My ground resistance on my Fed is around 40%, I believe. I think I'd rather have the chance to have an army of security officers.

    Also, I can cloak with the Omega ground set.

    Operative needs to spec into Lunge with melee crit security officer doffs, anyway.

    I may still buy 3 of the greens just to check them out, see if they are worthwhile.
