Thoron Infused Polaron delta reputation weapons can placate every 15 seconds

they are basically yellow poloron weapons, have 3 mods, and no pol proc. but the placate scourge? the most hated enemy? its back.
the proc tool tip for these reads:
on hit: 2.5% chance unstable thoron radiation for 5 seconds
~1000 rad damage PER SECOND
-1% crit chance
-15% crit sev
target is placated, can occure once every 15 seconds.
that placate is unnecessary, the rest of the proc is plenty good without it, thats almost 5k rad damage every proc, thats 10 times better then plasma or some of these others
wile we are on the subject of the new rep, how about a rep trait that gives everyone a free copy of EPtE1? ya, +35 to flight speed, and +25% turn rate too. mvp slotable trait? i think so
*edit* in the trait window, tool tip actually reads +25% speed, not a flat +35 speed
another gives you 15% armor penetration, one heals hull 5500 on getting crited, and anotehr has an unknown number of stacks of 1.5% crit chance, that increases as you fire weapons. lol.
oh but thats nothing compared to their rank 5 active trait. its an AOE that on hit deals 19500 BASE knetic damage (100% shield pen), on top of a guarantied SHIELD OFFLINE FOR 8 SECONDS
*edit* on the ground its 308 damage, not 20k. probably a ground skill

Hopefully we can convince them to remove that part while its on tribble... more crit and rad dmg is plenty good and will have people wanting them.
But more seriously these are almost as good as Elachi disruptors.
But really, new items should really come with separate pvp and pve mods. Even though it's more work, I think it would easier for them to balance pve vs pvp. Everyone can have their cake.

Delta Rising is going to be awesome for PVP!
Is it a debuff or is DDIS simply using - as a bullet point.

i dint use them as a bullet point on the radiation proc. my spelling and grammer might be unrefined, but i am orginized. its part of the whole thoron debuff. rads, and - crit
oh wait...

ok now its showing -6.3, its no loner implying it drains all energy, so nevermind
Hold on, this Tier V trait looks like a ground combat ability. The way this ability is worded combined with the fact that we just got another space Tier V passive with 8472 means it is highly likely this will be a ground thing rather than a space thing. Could you please look at the trait on a ground map?

So....any good space based pvp games on the horizon that don't include buying a yacht for the project lead? :rolleyes:
R.I.P PVP. It's been a nice ride... If final, I'm seriously quitting PVP. Really.
Also what ever cryptic is smoking-- They need to pass dat $%^& over here. It must be some good stuff.
im no ground expert, but i dont recall 20k being a hitpoint of anything but a boss npc on the ground
I think it is too premature to react on the changes over at Tribble. I agree that the placate on the weapons needs to go, but the reputation traits don't appear to be damning as of yet. The heal on crit trait needs a 20 second cooldown, but I suspect that will come around within the next month before this goes live. Additionally the Tier V ability is very likely a ground ability. Therefore it is senseless for Space PvPers to be up in arms about the ability before they know one way or another.
Ground tooltips get a Space modifier while on Space maps. You need to look at the ability while on a ground map to get accurate readings.

Welcome to devs gone wild!
Oh yeah, and the mess with that trait on my sig, almost forgot.
Valdore console is OP, plz nerf. The heal trait should be fine if it has a cooldown.
This trait just applies -15 all damage resistance rating to the target (but only for your weapons) on attacking. Not all that game changing, but fairly powerful.
Indeed, this proc would be powerful even without the terrible placate Cryptic decided to arbitrarily tack upon the ability.
Now that trait actually makes Science damage dealing abilities dangerous when combined with Sensor Analysis and a Science captain.

And the necessary question, does it scale with flow caps?
you would think.
also on ground that tier 5 rep active only deals 308 damage, i think were safe, this is proboly a ground skill after all
heh, great, now we have an instant pop the engineer button. 308 base damage + Ambush (155% damage) + Target Optics (55% damage) + Strike Team II (+41% damage) + Motivation and/or Battle Strategies (25%) + Stealth Module (~27%).
I'll need to track down the damage calculation formula again, but I suspect this ability will have enough power to one hit kill ground players using a tactical captain if used correctly. This may prove to be problematic. That said we should be getting a hit point boost on the ground with Delta Rising due to the expansion. We should be fine providing the new ability can't get beyond 1,400 damage fully buffed.

This going to be awesome
New Rom - Space (even though Omega had been around, S7 was called New Romulus)
Omega - Ground
Nukara - Space
Dyson - Ground
Undine - Space
Something - Ground
But that name...Concussive Tachyon Emission...if it were Concussive Tachyon Grenade, Concussive Tachyon Sandwich, whatever...but Emission, Emitters, it does sound Space, eh?
Either somebody will grind there and let us know or a few weeks after release we might get a blog about it.
Trust me I am not taken anything away from good PvP vapers, they have great timing and know when to go after a target. Either way something has to brought into check. The crit chance needs to be lowered and a lilting that don't work because of counter built into the skill tree. I am sorry but I am a firm beiever in a viral matrix or phaser proc working as described in the tooltip. If they need to be adjusted with time and have immunities after words I am fine with that.
Something has to bring the DPS into check and if it is scramble sensor doff, AoE subnucs, placated, and disables that is fine. The one catch is everything needs to have a counter.
STO pvp is actually stupid enough that a lot of player do not play it.... this way is definitelly a gravestone!
RIP pvp!
edit...
not talking about another reputation.... grinding, grinding everywhere for everything...
The fun in this game is quickly ending, unless your fun is grinding!
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
Never go full ******.
At this point, someone wants to move with me on Watch Dogs or BF4?
Just to correct your math, it's not 1-0.75^7, but 1-0.975^7=0.162, or 16.2%.
