Hi all,
for convenience, have a link to my build (skills included)
http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/?build=imarookiejhec_2950
I upgraded the ship to T5-U afair.
Any hints on what to change to do better in the new expansion?
I am getting my TRIBBLE handed to myself in advanced mode stf now
and this is getting frustrating.
Didn't even try to use my fleet nebula now.
I do have a lot of pre-reputation XI and XII stuff on my bank if that helps (like omega and maco XI set)

Replacing RSP2 for EPtW3 and EPtA1 for ET1 would probably improve your damage output and ability to cleanse as well.

the poster had mentioned getting spanked in advanced STFs. I'd recommend EPTS3 instead of EPTW3 and use EPTW1 instead of EPTA1. That's to get better shield resistances and heals.
As for tactical, having 2 tactical cannon abilities means one is usually being wasted. Try TT1, THY2, APB2, CRF3
So, it should look something like...
PH1, ST2
TT1, THY2, APB2, CRF3
EPTW1, A2B1, EPTS3
ET1, A2B1
HE1
3 purple technicians (2 leaves gaps which you may not like)
1 conn officer for tac team recharge reduction (A2B does not give full CD reduction so 1 conn officer is needed to reduce Tac Team CD to minimum)
I hope that helps out.
I have to apologize, I feel very stupid now.
My space doffs haven't been slotted... -.-
I am not very familiar with all the abbreviations also.
atm I use 3 purple technicians (of course), 1 purple guy with "increase ship power on emergency power use" (epts). and another guy which I forgot who it was. :P
(I have a gut feeling it was the tholian with extra damage vs. borg)
I will not swap my sci universal as I like to be able to throw some heals around here and there.
The EPTA was there for a reason: I usually go with ~40 base aux - before I hit Aux2Bat, I fire EPTA - which leaves me with like 125+ weapons and 120+ shields/engine each - or use it to boost my heals if needed.
That way I thought I could drop EPTW.
Good idea to exchange cannon spread with attack pattern beta though,
one cannon ability was unused every time...
the polarize shields is, together with the sci "bubble" thing, my "oh-****" button.
Did an ISA in a pug - failed the optional by 1 minute.
good thing: nobody died or blew a generator too early - like in old days
So all's fine again.
I even "tanked" the Tac cube at the end, was a bit hairy though.
sidenote:
I was wondering if it's worth to upgrade the jem hadar space set with lobi and then later on upgrade to Mk XIII+ ?
Since you're using Polarons(which are the current craze for 'end game'), JH set is a very valid choice for the ship. If you're already reliant on RSP for keeping yourself alive, however, JH might make things harder for you. (Also, I don't think you can even use lobi to upgrade the set anymore, it's just a matter of using the new upgrade system now.)
(updated the build a bit)
Now I have to learn how to time the THY3 correctly,
after the CRF3 barrage cleared one shield facing.
So I might want to swap RSP with EPtW
and the EPtA1 to ET1 ?
Will have to try.
