So I've always used (dmg) on all my weapons and just wanted some feedback on what some of you may think is a better combo of mods other then DMGx3 or with the romulan weapons DMGx2. if it helps im using a D'kora cannon boat
a little back story, i've been running MkXI romulan DMGx2 and ACC DMG and was saving my dil for the new rom space set untill he sent me the stats. so now i'm replacing the MKXI with MKXII for a little bit more dps.

ACC necessary for PVP
CritD Suits PVE
DMG CRTH, not used as much
Critical chance is very important now days to a tac with all the consoles and the romulan tier 2 passive allowing us to crit way more often having a weapon with those mods above gives you high dps.
CrtH is amazing with the new crit bonuses. I have the crith bonus from t2 romulan rep, and crith bonus from romulan console. Also I have the borg and tachyonetic consoles wich boost critd and slight more boost to crth. Using those with crth x3 weapons and max energy weapon spec I am noticing crits all the time, they hit hard enough with DHC innate severity and max spec and with the consoles, but I am critting so much more then people with all crtd. Has been working great for me in pvp and pve, although you need accurate trait, max targeting systems and omega deflector to boost acc enough to hit escorts. This really shreds through cruisers and carriers fast to since they are easier to hit.
Something to keep in mind is that the bonus derived from weapons is very small compared to what your boff abilites can provide. Granted that the boff bonus tends (not always) to be of a limited duration but the added damage derived can dramatically outweigh static weapon bonus.
In short, if you use boff abilites to insure that hits and crit hit's happen, crit d becomes king. If you're NOT going that route, than sure you want to have some acc and some crit h, or whatever mix you need to bring your stats where you want them to be.
"You generally can't go wrong with at least one [Acc] mod." but if you held a gun to my head and said give me a general answer I would go with this one. It's the most helpful and the least harmful of the bunch.
Cheers happy flying!
As is, I personally prefer [acc] [critd] [crth] mods on my weapons. Gives me a little of everything. It also makes me hit pretty hard at times. But that's personal preference, nothing more (shame those kinds of weapons are so bloody expensive on the exchange).
CritD can make for some spectacular damage to, but I notice even without any critd mods my crits are still strong enough to get the job done since they happen so much more often now.
A quantum that crits against hull is going to pretty much kill the target regardless, so you don't need severity so much as ensuring it does crit, and DHC that crits will hit hard even without critd andwill make sure that those shields are stripped away by the time those torps hit and crit. There is no limit to how high you can stack crit buffs so why not
try to gurantee it happen as much as possible.
In pve with all of these crith buffs, you will solo cubes in seconds as a tac escort in elite STFs, be able to easily guard both sides of probes in cse or all 3 sides of bop in CSE, and still have time to help the group with dps in between probes/ bop. Your scatter volleys and torp spreads will wipe out entire groups of nanite spheres before the scatter volley is done most of the time.
I got around 12.5k dps sustained against KASE using my fleet hohsus bop with this setup. Just got the consoles and crith weapons for my fleet defiant and suspect the dps should be in 14k-15k range.
Whats the point of firing at something that doesn't die fast even when you do hit it?
I have Acc x3 weaapons and they have been gathering dust for quite some time in pvp and pve due to them just not always being able to ge tthe job done fast enough compared to my CrtH x3 weapons. Even my fleet weapons DMG x3 ACC fleet weapons were doing more then my acc weapons in pvp and pve to.
I guess it depends on your character spec and traits though, some need acc more then others.
With players becoming more and more build savvy and catching up to the knowledge that the elite level players have known for years (Humans nowadays are notoriously slow learners... like lemmings or dodo birds.) and learning that defense is 25% shields, 25% skills, 25% speed and 25% elusive piloting. All these things together makes you into a mobile tank.
You can't kill what you can't hit and you definitely can't hit what you can't catch. Captains with 23 impulse speed have maxed defense couple that with elusiveness and a few skills and lol good luck hitting that escort that's gone from being that wimpy little kid in the corner to Muhammad Ali in your face down goes Frasier!
I don't worry about Vfaw CV or spreads, i just kick in evasive hit a hard turn and come back around to your side and saw you in half. But with acc hitting me across the bow I'm a little more like a probing shark instead of a piranha going for the kill! booyah!
Once you've got [Acc] or [Acc]x2, I'd probably go with [Crth] for the third mod.
Now in PvP, I can't hit an escort using Evasives and full Engine Power even if I have [Acc]x3 weapons... unless I TB him, use Graviton Pulse or Theta vents or something similar on him first. So, Acc is indeed useful, but not overly so, especially if you have a lot of holds on your ship.
Also, [Acc]x3 weapons are a good source of income as they are terribly overpriced on the exchange.
