How to Fix BO

Step 1: Reverse the damage nerf.
Step 2: Have BO only apply 1/3rd of the damage on initial impact.
Step 3: 1/3rd of the damage takes effect as a 5 (10?) second DoT.
Step 4: 1/3rd of the damage takes effect when DoT expires if not cleared.
Step 5: Choose a reasonable ability(s) to allow to remove the DoT and expire damage.
Step 6: Enjoy having an ability both useful in PvP and PvE (as NPCs will not clear it) without creating two versions.

BO is TRIBBLE in pve because you face off against 100 harmless targets, wile in pvp you face 5 that actually defend themselves and you need spike to over come. CRF also sucks in pve for the same reason, but no ever one brings that up. you cant make ether good in pve without FUNDAMENTALLY changing npc quality and quantity

Remove weapon power drain.
Remove the auto crit feature. Increase it's base accuracy by 10 percent.
Done.
But srsly, cryptic wants to get rid of power consumption on weapons, and they prefer spamming over skilling.
Two birds with one stone maybe? But how will they sell A2B FAW boats?
I like this idea much better as well.
This is so.etbing I suggested a while back. Instead of a short overloaded burst, the beam should instead have an increased duration, maybe for the full 4 seconds that normal beams take to complete a cycle? But don't make it in pulses, and don't make it some clearable dot effect that will be cleared. It should do damage every .5 seconds, with each .5 doing the normal beam damage (I.e, every .5 sec, for 4 seconds, beam overload deals 240 damage).
So a Hargh'Peng beam?
The massive uber crits are gone. (the only ones that still happen are due to massive levels of debuffs.... asking for nerfs to current 60k overloads would be as silly as asking for a turret nerf because the log says there hitting you for 4k each when you have 2 sensor scans and a FOMM on you after a subnuke from a tac with a 5% GDF up) lol
The crazy critz don't happen... however the skill is consistent and does what it should be doing imo. Yes I am using it. To be honest I hadn't used it in a long time... and I am using it once again and quite happy with what it is doing.
gotta agree, it's not way out of line, and you know what to expect from it. I've definitely noticed it on the battlefield, but it's not crazy like some are claiming. leave it alone.
Single target faw? Rapid fire for beams.
Done
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
If the game needed beam rapid fire. Which can be argued both ways. Removing the only true spike energy weapon skill wouldn't be the way to do it. imo anyway.
The game needs spike skills... in that regard overload does exactly what it is supposed to do. I have been using it fully taced up in an escort where I couldn't add any more dmg boosts if I wanted. I have even used the hirogen spin console to try and push it more. Bottom line it doesn't hit north of 30k unless you have serious debuffs on a target. Which is good. Because it also doesn't hit any lower then the 20k range very often either. People that shrug them off have no debuffs on them and you don't deserve a kill. People that go boom where caught with out enough buffs up or where being debuffed.
I'm typing in circles, I hope I made my point though. The dmg is right about where it should be at the moment as I see it. Any lower and all it would be good for would be procing doffs. Any higher and we are back to not really needing anything else. (which was more broken then anyone wants to admit. I will say it though there was no way before I should have been able to target someone click and role a 100k crit with little to no additional work needed.)
As far as rapid fire for beams... I have said for a long time... we simply need to remove the idea of Rapid fire being a beam skill. Add to rapid fire the ability to work with beams and or cannons. Take Scatter volley and rename it fire at will and allow beams to work with it as well (which solves the silly nature of faws no need of target acquisition) Then just remove the current FAW mechanic. As far as overload goes to be honest I think it and subsystem disables should likely remain on beams alone.... however I would love to see a NEW cannon skill added that started at Ensign. (something cannon builds have always lacked). Something like Point Defense Mode. (something that works like the Undine Heavy turret set bonus) PDM could work on turrets only allowing them to hit all targets(max of 5) in a 5k AOE cone around the ship. (then they could buff the undine set bonus turret to provide its aoe in a 10k range making it something only somewhat more usable. lol)

That doesn't have anything to do with broken tac skills. *cough*
