So, im in the process of making a build for my Patrol Escort.
My dilema is, should i go with Destabilizing Tetryon Dual Heavy Cannons + turrets OR Phased Biomatter dual heavy cannons + turrets
The main difference that i can see between them is that tetryon has 2.5% chance of causing damage to all shields while biomatter guns deal AOE damage (2.5% change).
Any suggestions?
For reference, on exchange look for these:
Destabilizing Tetryon Dual Heavy Cannons Mk XII
and
Phased Biomatter Dual Heavy Cannons Mk XII
If other suggestions, please share. Im lvl52 btw. Money aint an issue that much but i wont be spending more than 1 mil on each gun.
Biomatter phasers have a pretty good proc, almost like a plasma proc. Also they work well with the counter command console and turret. The damage bonus to the two piece set is like an extra tac console.

Phased Biomatter is pretty decent. I've got a Steamrunner set up with a Phased Biomatter loadout.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

I'd say overall you're probably better with the phasers, You'd have to stack some flow capacitors in order for the tet proc to actually do something (And even then unless you're built like a drainer I doubt they'd still do a whole lot.). Where as the proc from phasers are boosted from damage consoles you're already going to use.
As others have said I would go with the phased biomatter.
I have used both for cannon setups at some point and gave up using tetryon some time ago, mainly because once youe enemies shields are down what is your tetryon proc doing? (nowt).
The phased biomatter though I have found to be quite effective as an energy type.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".

Ive been using tetryon all the time until now, i guess its time for a change.
