You can just about have 200 bonus defense on a escort for about 90% of the time if you use the new doff and set up trates/sets right. Aint no buddy going to hit that! gg cryptic!

    To do that, you are going to waste a lot of your doff slots on EM and two copies of EPTE. This will put a big dent in your dmg dealing - sure very high defense but dmg going down the toilet. In any event, there is something call Torpedo Spread - it doesn't care if your Defense is 1 million or otherwise, you will be shot. And if the said Escort isn't careful, one Torpedo Spread III is enough to turn it into instant fireworks.

    Also, there is a floor for to hit rate, it can't be lower than 25%. So long as you fire, your to hit rate will at least average around 25%.

    Just 1doff and global epte will take em to global.

    Not to mention ICC...

    For continuous coverage as opposed to an one off event, you need two cycling copies. ICC is useless as an attacking mechanism because it obliterates your turn rate and will send you flying across the map. Unless your intention is to get your teammates killed, because you sent yourself away, it's not practical.

    How many copies of epte do I need in my a2b gal-x?

    ICC can be toggeled off mid duration.

    Em or ICC every 15 seconds makes people pretty darn zippy when we where zippy in the first place.

    the doff is nice but not THAT good. you can only cycle EPtE every 30 seconds, to get much out of the doff's effect you have to plan ahead a good bit. and evasive is generally a very tactical use when you need it skill, not something you cycle

    You need two copies. Or your solo copy of EPTE gets nuked, your *zippy* cycle will be completely broken and you can kiss your ship goodbye, the outcome of one trick pony.

    I guess I should be more clear in my point. There's just too many get out of jail free cards to play now. In pvp today I just flew out of everything. I wasn't cycling EM, but it was up every time I needed it and I needed it a lot in my cruiser without APO or A2D.

    and no...I don't need two copies...

    agree. EptS+EptE are in a cycle. You can't hold the EptE for reset the evasives or you are going to break the eptX circle, no matter if you use DCE or A2B, is the same situation.
    imo helsman+1 purple conn officer is more than enought. I'm not even using this new doff, it can be good for vapers, but for escorts isn't that great as people think.

    reset of ECC with the new conn doff is a bug, has been confirmed by a dev. But as everything,i can take a while....

    Between traits like helmsmen and bos with this doff you have like a 10 sec max down time of evasive if you do it right giving you 160 to 200 bonus defense what do you need epts for?! Aint no buddy going to hit that ****... Just zip around like mad. Also I don't take much of a hit in dps to do this.
