Fleet Norgh Help

jaycole1

Hi, I was hoping for some advice to squeeze the most out of my PVE Norgh. I love the ship and it can take a pretty good pounding in STFs and other elite missions but I noticed I'm always coming in 2nd or 3rd place at the end of rounds even though I'm keeping guns on target most of the time.

DOFFs are currently 2x Recharge Tac Team, 2x Reduce recharge cannon special attack, and 1x Recharge Engineering team.

I was also wondering about those omni-directional beam arrays and am debating putting one in an aft slot to replace a turret. From what I understand, they do more DPS than a turret but I also have my ship spec'd to use cannons and am wondering if I'd be better off keeping the turret which can benefit from my 2x CRF abilities.

Any help to optimize this build would be much appreciated!

When using tw
o of an ability. The second copy will be at global cooldown.

So you use omega 3, it begins a 1 minute cd. Another copy of omega, say omega 1 will begin a 30 second cd. After 30 seconds have passed you use the omega 1 ability and then the cycle repeats

I love the norg I wish my main was kdf, it's such a fun ship to build

Here's a crazy build
http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=heavynorg_0
2 damage control doffs,
Warp core cleanser doff
Rsp fabrication doff
2 engineering team cd maintenance doffs

Very unique. Very sturdy, very basic


Here's a more conventional build


http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=heavynorgconvent_0
2 damage control doffs
1 warp core power level booster
2 science team cd doffs (perhaps research scientist?)
1 gravity well after shocker

I'll spare you the aux2bat builds

They sure are a lot of fun to build and fly. I added some equipment to the build, if you need an overhauled skill tree, use the one in my sig.

Cheers

GravWell and Cannon Scattershot might help with DPS. I really like the Dyson Rep Gravametric Photon Torp w/ Spread 3 for use with GW-ing.

If someone gets a good scatter shot and spread 3 on a bunch of grav-welled targets they are gonna rack up some fast damage.

Depends on what you are doing. Solo capital targets or groups of small frys.

Great, thanks for the tips. I'll try them out and see what works best for my play style.

I'm also wondering about which shields to use. Currently I have Elite Fleet adapted covariant which has been working great, but I'm thinking about using the Honor Guard covariant instead. Would this be a good idea in practice? From what I can see looking at the specs, the HG covariant seems to have the highest cap of all shields but it doesn't have the stackable damage resistance that the EF ones do. So, would a higher hit point cap be more effective than a lower hit point cap that gives more resistance bonuses?

And lastly, what's going to happen to all our HG and other reputation mk XII gear when the new level cap comes out? Will we have to re-grind for the newer mk XIV sets or will they be automatically upgraded?

Thanks!
