Beam Barrage + SS

Perhaps someone here knows. :)

Does Beam Barrage still grant a +2% Dmg to beam weps? And, most importantly, does it work with Surgical Strikes?

The ingame description lists no stats at all. (Just says 'Only affects certain things', LOL) And Trait activation does not show up my parser (ACT).

Thanks.

    Yes, Beam Barrage does grant a stacking 2% damage to beam weapons, with the maximum stack being 6% total i believe.

    I dont have any Intel BOFFs, so i am unable to tell you if it works with surgical strikes,

    Hope this helps.

    +6% is not bad. :) Thx.

    just tested it. SS does trigger beam barrage, but you'll need to cycle FAW or BO with SS to get to the 3 stacks.

    EDIT: nope I was totally wrong. Unlike BO and FAW there's no weird lockout so I can get the 3 stacks of BB with just 1 copy of SS assuming I can get it to global with Reciprocity or A2B.

    Wonderful news! :) Thank you very much! I knew I could count on the PvP folks to actually understand how things work.

    It's a dying breed though.....if something doesnt change within a few months, there wont be much left of pvp in this game....

    I mean.. i was hooked.. logged in several times a day to earn my keep to be able to compete in PVP... now i don't log in anymore... kinda sad.. cause pvp in this game used to be fun...

    Or... they start giving Roms/KDF access to their variant of the Phantom too. :) Part of me thinks not having done so from the release of DR was merely the result of them not being entirely ready yet (but pushing it out nonetheless, as usual).

    Doesn't have to be a Phantom per se, btw. But it seems fair each faction gets at least 1 ship with a Commander Intel seat.
