Best beams for damage.

Hey Guys

Currently running an Avenger, with advanced fleet phaser beam arrays. Mainly for cannon purposes. I feel the feds look better with phasers.

However I've been away a while and I'm left thinking I need more punch occasionally. I know Antiproton has a good crit severity value, so what are the best beam arrays and Tac consoles currently? For PvE I might add.

Thanks

    Antiproton Beam Arrays with CrtDx4, the best tac consoles are either vulnerabiltiy locators +AP, or +Beam if you plasma dope.
    SCM - Crystal C. (S) - [00:12] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 8.63M(713.16K) - Fed Sci

    SCM - Hive (S) - [02:31] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 30.62M(204.66K) - Fed Sci

    Tacs are overrated.

    The current favorites are:

    [Antiproton Beam Array Mk XIV [Ac/Dm] [CrtD]x4]

    [Console - Tactical - Vulnerability Locator Mk XIV [+AP]]

    Great Thanks guys! Antiproton is still king. Its something I haven't switched to yet, but might to squeeze the dps out.

    Wow! The numbers on those robdmc are insane! They are going to take alot of work (and resources) acquiring!

    Beams such as Disruptor (any kind besides Polarised) are a viable alternative to Antiproton in terms of straight damage. Seeing as not many npcs have hull resists, the -10 dr does some funky stuff with damage, and actually increases it more than expected, iirc.

    That, and they're somewhat cheaper. ;)

    I'd say Ap and then various disruptor and plasma variants. If you're not aiming to be in the top tier of our wizards then it's really not necessary to use all [CrtD]x3/4. Just keep in mind to avoid the [Dmg] like the plague and the rest should be fine.
