I have spent a good amount of time the last month tweaking this build, and now that I am happy with it, I wanted to share it on the forums to see if I could get any feedback on improvements that could be made.

To be clear, I am very happy with the build. I simply want to get some other eyes on it to see if there are any improvements I can make.

Focus of this build:
High DPS
Survivability
Limit duplicate cooldowns

I really loved the new Antiproton Omnidirectional beam array because not only did it add additional damage, but it also allowed for me to put BFAW on the build.

Major Features:
Aux 2 Battery
Attack Pattern Beta I
Attack Pattern Omega I
Cannon Scatter Volley III
Torpedo Spread III
Beam Fire At Will II

All suggestions are welcome.

Improved Version (Based on suggestions from Dahminus)

    Oh, yes...you do have decent dps and cooldowns...but you sure as hell have no focus in survivability.

    You have 2 heals and both are aux dependant...aux2bat eats auxillary.

    Now that's been said, let's move onto the boff skills...

    Just pass on the bfaw or ta and use your commander for your tacticals...use the uni for engineer and get rsp/et/another eptX ability...

    I can help you further of you want, but it may be more fun to discover what I'm talking about.

    Cheers

    Thank you for the tip! Excellent.

    That's exactly why I wanted to post on the forums. Thanks to your hint of advice, I was able to (I think) improve on the build significantly.

    By replacing the Tactical with an Engineer, I was able to get:

    Emergency Power to Weapons III (Which IMO is better than Attack Pattern Omega I)
    Engineering Team I
    Reverse Shield Polarity II

    The big loss is the Beam Fire At Will II. However, since I was only using it for 1 beam, I am extremely confident that the changes are well worth the "loss." Especially when you consider the fact that Attack Pattern Beta will now be hit every 15 seconds or so (Rather than alternating with Attack Pattern Omega), and will also be stacking with Emergency Power to Weapons.

    Again, thanks for the advice. How does this look:

    Wish I could help, but I've got the relic that is the OLD Fleet Patrol Escort on my Engie.

    Now your making sense.

    As for gear, your using a single torp with a 2p bonus that boost torps by 25% base. I'd swap that as soon as you can.

    3p soloane is free and amazing

    2p nukara gives a 2.5% bonus to damage

    Undine deflector is just sexy for dps

    I'd pass on borg.


    You want the best dps, go undine counter command deflector and nukara shields/engines.

    Swapping the torp for an enhanced bio or the preferred gravimetric would be in your best interest if you refuse to slot another dhc.

    If you did slot that dhc you could get a bfaw in there

    Swapping ts3 for beta 2 and beta 1 for ts2 would be a smart move as well.

    Cheers
