Lots of people have been picking up these powerful carrier ships lately, so I thought I would post my A2B build for this ship.
Like my A2B Mobius, this ship has amazing versatility. Above average defenses, and the ability to AOE and Single target effectively.
Doff loadout is the same as the Mobius.
Some people asked me why not just run Beam CD Doffs. A2B gives me the ability to also lower my defensive cooldowns and my built in CDs like sensor scan and the like. Also A2B adds 15 to all energy levels except Aux.
Jem'Hadar ships are absolutely amazing in their respective set.
So I am running this loadout.
The Kinetic C Beam is just too good not to run it. Along with the B Console you will get the 2 set bonus for more damage. I am running all Fleet weapons with the [Accx2] [DMGx2] Affixes.
I am also running 3 universal consoles. They are as follows.
This consoles comes with the ship. It's way too good to replace.
This console is amazing for the set bonuses I have as it increases the proc effect, it also increases my drain from subsystem targeting. Also who doesn't love Power Transfer?
Flight turn rate, and a good chunk of CritD. I also run Tractor beam to the Graviton Generators help.
With the following set up I have these set bonuses.
Set 2: Dominion Synergy
Passive
+13.1% Polaron Damage - More damage = good.
+26.2 Starship Power Insulators - resist drains, Borg LOVE draining shields.
-------------------------------
Set 3: Antiproton Sweep - Great for AOE
Affects Foe (5 max)
6 kilometer Range; 90 degree Cone
0.5 sec activate
2 min recharge
-1638.9.1 Shields on up to 5 enemies
Disables cloaking systems for 10 sec
Skills that affect this ability:
Starship Flow Capacitors
-------------------------------
Victory is Life - This only works on Jem'Hadar ships
Enhancement
1% chance to strip one buff while using Polaron Weaponry
-------------------------------
Borg set bonus.
Set 2: Omega Weapon Amplifier
On hit with any energy weapon, 2.5% chance: to self: Applies Omega Weapon Amplifier:
+10 Current Weapon Power
+500 Current Weapon Power Resistance Rating for 3 sec
+500 Maximum Weapon Power Resistance Rating for 3 sec
My Skills are as follows
TacT I x2
Beam FaW III - AOE
Beam Overload II - Single Target
Torpedo Spread II - AOE
EptS I - Resistance buff + minor heal
Reverse Shield Polarity II - Oh shit cooldown, major heal.
Aux to Batt I x 2 - Core of the build, +15 to all energy, -44 to Aux, 30% CD reduction to all bridge officer abilities ( Including mine )
Tractor Beam - Can be switched with anything.
This ship has 2 hangar bays. It comes with blue quality JemH fighters, I opted to replace them with the Peregrine Fighters as the JemH fighters are bugged.
Here is a parse from an Infected Elite run. 8300 dps as a science captain. Merlin also runs this ship as a tac captain with better fighters and pulls over 9k dps.
Well that's it folks, this ship is a powerhouse for sure. A cruiser with a tactical load out, and science subsystem targeting ability, not to mention 2 bays. She is a fine addition to the game and one I will be using for a long time to come.
