Class and melee?

hyefather

Looking through all my doffs I noticed I have 3 very rare security officers. The ones with 8% crit and 25% crit severity. I have 1 of each class so, if I was to try and make a good Melee fighter out of one. Witch character should I give the 3 doffs to and why. This is gonna be a PVP character. Any help is appreciated.

OR......Does Melee PVP suck so bad I should just forget about it? 3 of those doffs would get me around 90mil so its not a easy decision to make.

P.S. The Doffs are all Fed.

Tactical is the obvious choice:

- Lunge
- Sweeping Strikes
- Tactical Skills that enhance melee damage

Other careers don't have access to the above. Science captains have a kit skill to enhance melee damage, but I don't think they have anything else. Tactical is all about damage, so they have many different skills that affect melee damage.

The old doctor kit had 1 melee buff but that with tricorder scan and maybe tachyon harmonic can make a science captain a good consistent melee fighter. Tricorder scan has just a 15 second cooldown too. What a tac can do is stack a crazy number of buffs and to really great spike damage.

The Hypospray used to have 15 sec cooldown too, fun times w/4 boffs loaded w/3 each. Old stun grenade + Buffed Leaping sword combo for lolz wipes. That was pre ground revamp ~season 3-4 iirc.

To OP,

For PvP, you could try Sci as mentioned + repairs (slows/disables are helpful for keeping folks in combo range). For engineers cront mines and fuse armor for speed debuffs could be handy.

But, Ground Tac w/the new Motivation probably the way to go.

Get the Tholian Jedi set. The shields have nice avoid stats as does the 3 part set bonus (has bonus movement and avoidance w/e that is too). The armor has phy damage boost 20 iirc, and the sword is one of the best if not best melee weapon in the game. Plus you look like a Jedi if that's your thing.

Bonus effects for using Jedi + Pattern Buffer + Undine Gas.

Edit: Imo ground PvP just for lolz, get the Jedi set for melee and sell the doffs for space stuff.

Edit2: Space PvP pretty crappy now too, sell and get ... um ... nm ...

I understand, Master Jedi.......

seriously, I was gonna just go ahead and sell the doffs but, they have went from 50mil each to around 30. TBH as hard as they are to get I may just keep them. Been so long since I done rep grinds I completely forgot about the tholian set. Now adays its trait this, trait that. Thanks for the info. It will be used wisley.
