Point Defense Bombardment Warhead or Secondary Shields 2 piece set bonus

I was told that the bombardment was better for PVE, since i am a Rom Fed I cannot use the lobi one so I need EC. Which one will be better the shields or the warhead? For T'Liss Temporal Warbird, DPS build. Thanks in advance.

    META took a little shift here the past year so I advice on caution before you spend too much EC.

    Peeps originaly seekd the 2 piece bonus of DPRM with a secondary console for +33% disruptor/phaser/plasma dmg. A few seasons ago this was more of a thing than it is now as more other options have turned up. Mostly the crit H console from this altemid set.

    If you have the room and don’t know what else to slot DPRM with Point defence is the way to go. You told you use a torpedo. The console will boost it as well together with +1% crit h it gives. The clicky is not bad either but surely no game breaker.

    The shield console instead to just get the 2 piece bonus is not considered worthwhile on high end builds anymore. I keep it on my two tanks there though as they aditional shield make sence.

    As a general rule of the thumb. Universal consoles that ad to crit H and especially D as well as consoles that grand weapon fiering haste are >> than any set piece completion or singular consoles that just bring in +DMG. +DMG consoles are more of a budget option for which the NX conoles is a bit too expensive.

    Sweet thank you I ended up buying the warhead one. I will love the extra torp boost!

    Also as a Fed-Rom, the Bombardment console is your only choice.

    Even though the Secondary Shield Projector says it can be opened by Federation Characters, that does not include Fed-Roms, you can't open the box. If you wanted the secondary projector on a Romulan you would have to buy the Thrai.

    I mean I could but I feel like for PVE the bombardment was the better choice

    Fed Roms can also get the bombardment console on by buying NX escort, so either way I need to buy the ship for the console lol

    Yea but it is verry costly. Thats the part where one needs to be a bit careful you know. Do you have stuff like bic, the altemid console? Borg consoles is great as well. How many uni slots need to be filled? on your ship? :)

    like this but instead of the pulsewave I have the point defense bombardment console now. Sadly no place for the altemid console :( maybe i can replace the nausican console that gives disruptor boost for that?

    In that setup, I would actually replace the Assimilated Module with the Altmid Console. The Borg Console at Epic gives you 1.2% Crit chance, the Altmid is +3.9% with +35 accuracy. It's a better overall (and more expensive) console.
