Plasma or Rom Plasma

diablerietandino

I was in the process of planning out some equipment for my new Scimitar and got to it's weapon layout and was wondering what would be more beneficial in the long run. There are standard plasma arrays that come with the CrtdX3 modifier and then there are Romulan rep plasma arrays that only have CrtDx2 modifiers but of course come with the disruptor proc. I am torn on what will ultimately come out ahead, punching harder with the x3's or helping out my team by the possible resistance debuffs from the rommie X2's


Which do you all prefer?

Rom plasma all the way baby, the dual proc is nasty when beefed up.

I was leaning to that conclusion myself, but I admit I'm not a min/max expert. Plus well, I have dil out the ears and the 3x's are close to 3 mil a pop right now anyway. I guess that settles it heh.

Plasma in general is the cream of the crop. But romulan plasma especially is my favorite. The experimental beam fires for no energy drain, allowing all your other beams to shoot for higher damage. Equipping it also gets you half way towards a powerful 2 piece bonus that increases the damage of all your plasma even more. (equip the rom console and you're done. should probably be using the thing anyway) And then you have fleet science consoles that further increase plasma damage. Stacked with 4-5 plasma relays and your weapons are going to scorch the competition. I like romulan plasma even more because it has the disruptor and plasma burn proc baked in, both of them the best procs in the game in my opinion because they are always beneficial. Regardless of the state of your targets hull or shields. Buying Romulan plasma also allows you to cherry pick your mods. See how much getting [acc]x2 is on the exchange for a generic plasma weapon and you'll see why the Romulan variant is worth your dil.
