Between 3x high rof torp + 2 cluster, and 2x high rof torp + 3 cluster, both will pump out one torp per 1.5 sec. The difference is in the former, slightly more of these torps will be single low dmg torps instead of clusters.
The 2x high rof torps are there to trigger doffs, not meant to actually do the killing. More of them than necessary is not useful.
There are fits where ppl actually use the ferengi rapid fire missile, which has rof of 2 sec, to trigger doffs, in order to cut trigger launchers down to 1x, for even more room for high dmg low rof specialty torps.
I think you misunderstood my post as I did not say use 3 high rof torps. I said use 2 high rof torps and 3 low rof torps but make sure only 2 of the low rof torps are clusters.
2 high rof torps and 3 low rof torps is enough to keep 2 clusters firing at max speed. Fitting a 3rd cluster lowers your damage and lowers your DPS without any extra cluster shots. More clusters then is necessary is not useful. The 3rd cluster is a completely wasted slot.
I agree its all about high dmg low rof specialty torps. But swapping the 3rd cluster for a different high dmg low rof specialty torps means more overall damage. You will not lose you any cluster shots but you will gain extra high powered shots from other types of low rof torps.
As I said before the max speed is 2 seconds for torps not 1.5.
