I recently acquired the 4 Fleet Modules needed to purchase the Fleet Avenger and I was wondering if my planned build would help me stay alive (Looking at that "lovely" respawn button is tiring) , and at the same time, deal lots of damage
Some things you may need to know:
-This Build will be mainly used for PVE (And for Surviving [And Exploding
] Klingons who think they can pull a fast one in Ker'rat -.- [Because your "Friendly Neighborhood Rommie" isn't there sometimes :C ] )
-I don't Doff a lot, So Doff recommendations are welcomed
-The Antiproton Mags occupying the Tactical Slots are standing in for the Vulnerability Exploit Consoles that as of now, are not included in the Skill Planner
-The Obelisk Core is there to take advantage of the +10% AP Damage Boost
-Device Layouts are also welcomed (Not Including the Red Matter Capacitor)
-Due to the Avenger's turn rate, I believe I will be sticking to beams, In line with this, please refrain from suggesting builds that include cannons ^_^ (But if you really think that a DHC/Cannon build would be much better, Please do not hesitate to include it in your response)
-I'm an Eng Officer
Now, Without Further ado, My Build:

Thank you for your time and have a good day

Your doffs would be 3 technicians, marion, rsp doff, 1 of your choice
Here is a non aux2bat build if you were curious...

Marion, quatermaster battery doff, 3 maintenance doffs, 1 of your choice
The nukara console is one to pick up
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
I did base this off of many of your posts, So I wouldn't be surprised if they were similar
RSP?
Would the Non Aux2Bat build be more capable at enhancing DPS than my current Aux2Bat build? (Forgive me, I'm pretty new at this )
The Nukara Console boosts exotic damage, would that help on my current build? (I don't believe I have any skills/weapons capable of producing exotic damage)
I've never seen that build, But It's almost exactly like mine O_O (By any chance, did you use my build as a template? Because the skills/ground layout are the same, It also had my former beam configuration before I decided to move the KCB to the front xD)
-Use plasma infused embassy science console. That extra plasma burn proc stacks nicely on beam spam.
-Use spire crit chance tac consoles. They've gotta fix that faw eventually...;)
-Why Resilient shield? Covariant is better. The bleedthrough fix itself anyway.
-A shield heal for the science boff will be more useful more often than polarize hull in pve. You're somewhat short on shield heal otherwise.
-Directed energy modulation isn't as useful in pve. Your teammates will be pounding that shield anyway, there's little difference in the end.
-Double up on faw. Keep up the beam spam.
For the nukara console, I'm guessing it's for accuracy. Shouldn't be a big issue in pve anyway. It would be a bad idea to fly that guy's fit solo, or pve in general.
Will think about these xD
I already have a regen buff from the 2 piece Borg Set, So all I need is Capacity, Hence the Resilient Shield ^_^
Gotta Run away from those Borg Cubes somehow xD
Incase of Useless Teammate Syndrome, It's very common now :O
I don't want to aggro all the scary Borg, Will think more about this though
The nukara console is for the accuracy. It's actually really and highly recommended
The nonaux build would do very comparable dps. Possible more due to not using doff slots for techs. The bigger perk is that you don't need to deal with aux2bat which some people have issues with
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
Accuracy certainly never hurts, it's just not as useful as when in pvp. There's the benefit assessment of the nukara console vs an engineering console to consider.
Covariant shield has higher cap than Resilient. People use resilient shield in pvp so they don't get pounded to death by bleedthrough. Not so much for pve.
Your teammates will be pounding shield as you penetrate part of it. You pound it less, they'll have more to chew through. Shield will be gone before the rat goes down, so it hardly makes a difference who chews which part. You won't be bringing that cube down alone anyway.
For polarize hull vs another shield heal, you're low on shield heal without it for solo (and pug counts as solo). If someone else extends their shield for you, that's another matter of course. But polarize hull won't save you when that cube puts the plasma on you bare hull. Try to keep shield up. Polarize hull is a life saver in pvp when that tac puts the hurt on one shield facing at point blank, not so much in pve.
It looks like you're taking a lot of cues from pvp instead of pve. They're quite different.
Oh, I see. Would it be better to move it to a Sci slot instead of one of the Eng slots? I don't want to sacrifice my Turnrate
What kind of issues?
I must've looked at too many Pvp builds xD, Anyway, I'm also going to use this for surviving Ker'rat, so I might be able to retain this build
the cutting beam in front makes little sense though. Either you fly towards your target or you turn your broadside on it...in no scenario you are flying away from your target, ever.
and if you do, why use the ONE cruiser that has ONLY 3 rear weapons?
i would normaly agree with that statement, but since the captain is an engi captain with an build in shieldheal and other survival tricks, the PH offers more advantages with A2B.
Even with minimum aux power it makes you immune to snare and offers moderate resistance rating (20 or so with only 5 aux power)
another option for PVE would be a TBR...the low aux means that you aren't pushing anything very far, but deliver the full dmg...probably only really effective if you skilled particle generators though.
Moved the KCB to the back xD
not even remotely true actually...DEM with marion negates this already. further there is the cruiser command, the captain powers and traits: nadion inversion and power boost, the power gain of a2b, EPtW (100% uptime with this build) plasmonic leech...
at no point his powerlevel will drop under 90...i know, because i have a similar setup with a fleet assault cruiser.
There you go. i learnt something. Cheers mate
This was nicely put, I would take this into consideration.
