  Swap the Ambiplasmas for Infusers. Ambiplasmas only affect plasma torpedoes, of which you have none on your build. Infusers work for energy weapons. Those are the ones you need for your DHC/DBB.

  Is that all?

  Personally, I would dump the cloaked barrage in favor of a 5th infuser to get max damage up front. Firing while cloaked sounds nice, but damage is king in this game. Having a 5 tac console ship and not using all 5 for tac consoles is a bit of a waste. The damage you get from a 5th infuser will outweigh the little bit of cloaked firing time you get, especially since that cloaked barrage has a CD on it.
  
  Edit: The Tachyokinetic and Assimilated consoles are fine. Those are pretty much staples in any build these days.

  The Romulan Zero Point console can be also ok if u manage to get the 2 pc bonus in combination with the romulan beam. The beam is a no energy weapon and the set bonus gives +7.6% plasma dmg.

  The only reason I have the cloaked barrage was because it's such a staple. I want to be able to use the ship for pvp, and the extra time without being targeted seems kinda nice.

  I'm using a plasma build. (I don't have the 3 pack, so the other consoles are out of the question short term) This is my plan - Eng. Fleet RCS x2 Sci. Valdore console, Assimilated Module, Tachyokinetic converter Tac. Ambiplasma envelope x4 Cloaked Barrage. I think it's a solid build, but I'm not quite sure about the Assim Module or Tachyokinetic converter, so that's my question. I'm also not sure which doffs and boff skills to use, if anyone has any recommendations. This is my build so far-

  Its a universal console, right? You can have both 5 tac dps increasing consoles AND the cloaked one sitting in a science or eng slot if you can find something else to give up.
  
  The cloaked console has a long cooldown for a few seconds of high damage. Its awesome, once. But is it worth it to have a wasted console slot for 85% of your active dps time?
