Temporal Destroyer Build

edited January 2014 in Builds, Powers, and Game Mechanics
Hello, I am looking to improve the damage output of my Mobius. I seem to have come to an impass, and am hoping someone here will be able to help.

The current build can be found at http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=ussparadox_0.
(Sorry for raw links, in Steam browser so I cant hyperlink.)

Notes for build:
I don't want to use turrets on the rear, I enjoy using the Spiral Waves and enjoy having a powerfulish attack to the rear. (Beam Overload)

I realise the Dyson console's bounses are minimal without having the Gravitorp or Proton Beam equipped. It is a place holder until I get the Zero Point console. (Negleted Romulan rep.)

I am 100% keeping Disruptors as my weapons type, and im also staying with cannons.

Lastly, I do not have the EC to buy doffs (Marion and such) from the exchange, and even if I did I have no desire to run a Aux to Battery build. (I may use A2B, but not in the exploitingly powerful way that some do. If your one of those people, more power to you. It's not for me.)

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to mention, I am a Human Engineer.

    3 damage control doffs. 3 of your choice

    You will find this build hitting harder. The rsp will be good for a quick refill and aux2sif will keep your hull up.

    Aux2bat on the Mobius doesn't make sense. I would use turret over the beams but that's your choice, you don't need epts, you have plenty of shield healing power. Plasmonic leech would be a decent buy

    Looks interesting. I dont need 2x Tactical Team, as I have 2 purple doffs for it. Also, only CSV? I understand tandem APB also, but not having APO will be a detriment in STFs will it not?

    It's similar to the build I use for 20k dps...

    I would recommend beta over omega in pugs, the higher uptime will lead to more dps.

    I'm not questioning its effectiveness, just wondering about it. I have APO on my current build to negate tractors and the like. Also, I do occasionally go into Ker'rat.

    Omega is obviously better for pvp environments.

    Epte gets you out of tractors rather quickly. It's you choice of course

    For the sake of not having to retrain again after, would;
    Cmdr: BO, CSV, APO, APO
    Lt.: TT, CSV
    work?

    I just finished a Cure Found Elite with a set up based on yours. Tactically it is identical save having 2x APO instead of APB. Honestly, it seems to have about the same 1target DPS as the one I had before. Though obviously multi-target was much higher. Opinion?

    @OP:

    A few small things:

    * I'd lose the Power Insulator Console... immediately. :) Seriously, you typically take those off your Deflector (which your Borg set offers). The opportunity cost is just too high, IMHO (it's like fitting a booster module; who ever does that?).

    * Shield Emitter Amp, for that single TSS, seems unneeded too.

    * I'm no virusdancer, but in my personal experience, I'm getting better results with CSV1 + CSV2 + ATO3 than just using ATO1 and a CSV1 + CSV3/CRF3.

    * On that note, I'd find a way to have dual Attack Patterns (ATO3/APB1, maybe?), and then use 2x Zemoks for a perma-run. I know, you don't have the EC for that; but even running dual means you're getting a lot more from them.

    * Your setup needs a Hamlet, really, to bring TT1 down to (near) global.

    * Unless you're willing to add 3 purple Damage Control Engineers, I'd just replace that single EPtE1 with an ET1 (I know, does share CD with TT, but such is life). For better (turn) speed, you'd probably want to fit a Tachyokinetic Converter to begin with.

    * Now we're getting into the realm of taste, but Temporal Destroyer is one of the few Escorts that can slot a Lt. Cmdr. Science. I found that GW1, in combination with cannons, is really sweet (especiallly CSV).

    Well, wouldn't know about 'normal,' but yes. :) He also adds +10 to your Attack Patterns when TT triggers.

    Personally, I'd replace his BO1 with another TT1; but a single copy of TT1 can work just fine; and if he goes 2x Attack Patterns, that Hamlet will do even more for him.

    You went from crf to csv but kept the same single target dps? That would be a win...now you can kill multiple targets in the time it would normally take you to get one.

    Want more single target dps? Go crf

    Want more dps overall? Go beta

    Want more burst? Go 3 maintenance doffs, marion, quatermaster and borg warfare doff with double eptw and double dem.

    Don't forget 2 turrets in the back.

    You dps is technically higher sue to the multi target pew pew. Can't really guide you any further without you making sacrifices to your original wants.

    Cheers. And if you have any questions I'll answer em

    First @ the person who suggested I get some TT doffs;
    My Tactical Team is already at global. I thought i said that earlier... :o Anyways, It spawned out of necessity from a previous ship (Excelsior) but I kept it for potential. Anyways, I'm going to play with my new setup for a day or two and see what happens. Will report back here once I've really tested it. In the mean time, thankyou all for the help. :D

    EDIT: I didnt see the sci console stuff. Personally I enjoy the Borg not being able to drain me, and leech does almost nil in PvP to me, as do most other drains. That said, if theres something that would make a bigger difference in my ship I am open to suggestion. :)

    EDIT2+OffTopic:
    How do I get a pic of my toon as my forum avatar? 0.o
