I just reached Dyson T3 on my Main character (Fed Tac, Havelock Vetinari) a couple hours ago and selected the Vanquish passive for my new power. I then took to romping around the Dyson Battlezone. The power doesn't help much against the smaller enemies (they're dead too fast), but you do notice the little purple debuff flag on your larger foes (like exo-skeletons and larger dinos). It really feels like it's speeding up your target's slide to doom.
I like it.

Between each blast the Vanquish icon/meter goes away on the target; does this potential negate its effect on a target?
If so; then vanquish only works well with beam ground weapons?
Thoughts?
Pulsewaves are great for Borg STFs when it's important to keep the foe from touching me, but I haven't run any of those in a while, so my Pulsewaves are in storage. The only ground I've been on recently (since getting Vanquish) is the Dyson Battlezone, and being a fan of Split Beam Weapons I run with an Elite Phaser Split Beam Rifle. It's epic!
I find that the Voth typically keep their distance, so I don't expect Pulsewaves to be the best weapon against them anyway (as Pulsewave weapons lose their punch over range).
Perhaps try a different weapon?

Thanks for the suggestion. Just got the Voth Antiproton Split Beam so I will give that a shot and see how I like it!
