STO Helpdesk With Jo4play, Episode 9: Welcome to the endgame
The Final Frontier
This is it, this is what you have been working for all your time, you finally did it. You are now the Lvl 65 captain, you have all the things at your fingertips, now what. Well now you decide. But how to decide, you look far and wide. But there is so much data out there, recommending different things. Well let's start simple, from the beginning.
The builds, the deepz
This is where the core is, what do you put inside a build, how will you shape your reality in this game, what will your expirience be like, i will try to get as much of the different build types as i can, but they will inevitabely repeat, but hey what can you do. These builds will assume you finishing all the missions. I might revisit some builds or be forced to add rep gear for diversity.
ESCORTS
middle of the pack, made to devastate multiple targets from long range, than devastate a single larger target close up, by no means perfect, probably will have some sustain issues, hence the usage of MW spec, standard phaser build for f2p, sol set for sustain
made to be a true strafer, torp spread and scatter volley can be interchanged with high yield and rapid fire for a good single target destruction, made to be hella tanky, also manuverable, standard kdf set peices, if you want to push the 2pc on house martok you can, kobali set for quick regen
This build I made as a joke, and might as well be crazy enough to work, beams, good cdr management, a cheezy console, very fun overall i think, very standard for a beam meta tho
This build i tried to make to break the dps barriers, but i have my doubts it can
CRUISERS
Made to be a fun build, fairly tough and tanky but in a combat situation don't expect miracles, aux2batt goodness, all beamz, playing around stuff really
Lol hooray for random builds that still somehow work, but seriously i am pulling these out of whatever i can find, cause yeahh hard to get variety
D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser Retrofit
Old and faithful drake build, very basic, tons of fun, some good cdr from that photonic officer, and loads of fun all around, tetryon huh
Lol by this point if it looks good dew it, i probably forgot some obscure set peices somewhere, but don't remember what
Yeah cruisers are fun, but these builds are probably all the same and they will have unintended mistakes, i will try to correct them
Science ships?
Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit
Never been much of a sci build guy so this is my take on it, most likely needs serious tweaking
