Disruptor flavors

alsayyid

I have for the longest time run antiproton weapon setups and before that plasma was my go to energy type. However as I look at the raptor to come I am interested in creating a new setup, this time disruptor.

Disruptors are probably the most varied types. So I want to make sure my thinking on the matter is correct. I am currently considering the heavy disrupt turret along with the set bonus. Along with that perhaps if the heavy crescent weapon with its set bonus if they are upgradeable.

My question is therefore, is this is an effective setup? Also, what should my other weapons be? Elite fleet disruptors, elachi crescent, or the newer 8572 disruptors?

IMO the bio disruptors aren't good. The entire bio-subtype of weapon IMO is lackluster and worse than other weapons types.

it really depends on what you want to do. I love the elachi crescent proc. Direct shield penetration? Yes please!

I'd use them before elite fleet disruptors, though both are probably just as prohibitively expensive as each other. Since you already have the elite fleets, no reason to re-stock your pantry. I'd say go for elachi where you can and use elites where you have them.

There are some other hybrids with nice proc's on them, there are other options. I just like these the best.

Did you look at the bio photon torp ? The radiation effect that bypasses shields + the normal kinetic damage is better than the bonus that's on a transphasics. But ya, those Elachi disruptors sound choice.

I'm not a fan of the biotorp radiation, but one of my toons is running it simply because it has a massively OP damage rating for a photon torpedo!

Used to be a time that photorps did only 2k damage, and TCDs did 10k with a long cooldown. Now this photorp does 4k damage every 8 seconds. Especially since TCDs got the nerf smacked into them (several times over, by now), the bio torp is awesome.

Mind you, I still don't care for the radiation proc. It's just good, even with that.

The radiation damage, is actually pretty good, provided it isn't cleared in time.

I net some 1-4k+ extra damage, just from the radiation effect every proc!
