is the radiant armament set worthwhile?

I'm currently running the wide angle quantum aft and a standard quantum fore, upgraded to epic. the torpedo proc sounds really good, considering i try to use TS3 as much as possible, and i like the 10% weapon boost from the console.I won't run the 3 pc because I'm not running AP. I am not a fan of the ancient warp core.

    It's not a bad 2 piece weapon set if you are looking for a defensive proc. The defensive proc of the torpedo benefits escorts / raiders more than cruisers because they have weaker hulls. But it does make cruisers more tanky if you are looking to aggro (draw fire).

    At the very least, the Sustained Radiant Field is worth consideration because of the +10% to all weapon damage and the +20% to hull and shield heals. Having this console means you do not necessarily need to allocate many points into the Engineering and Science skills that improves hull and shield heals. These percentages should increase slightly at higher mark levels.

    It also makes the Hyper-Capacity Shield Array a much more viable option if you want to use a shield with a very high capacity, but low regeneration rate. The console does not affected the regeneration rate, but it does make any Boff ability to heal shields better. The high capacity of the shield means it takes a long to fully restore shields to 100% when using Boff abilities, and an extremely long time for natural regeneration especially if you have Science Skills or other consoles that boosts shield capacity even further. The shield's special ability allows energy weapons to do more damage at the cost of draining your own shields if you decide you want to use it.

    I use all three. Torpedo launcher and anti proton beam array are aft weapons. I like it. All my beams are radiant anti proton flavor with the exception of an omni directional one mounted in the rear.
