    NOTE: As of 2023, this guide still covers 99% of what you need to setup a Torp Boat. However the Maelstrom Torp from the Legendary Akira is now a must-slot, and the console from the Terran Eagle replaces the Ferrofluid console from the Terran Rep.
    In addition, the Eagle is the current Record holder for torps, as the console it has allows you to fire torps over twice as fast, and it can use the 4 main torps discussed here, alongside the Maelstrom.

    Thanks for the video. I didn't realize that I was effectively trolling elite runs by slotting Concentrate Firepower 1 or 2 (CF1, CF2). I went through and upgraded all my builds to CF3 or removed the ability if CF3 was not possible. The results have been quite satisfying. I'm sure the elite community will appreciate it, when and if I get a team together for elite content.

      Above 185% critD value, if 1/2 of the torpedoes in the salvo crit, the lower yield salvo’s would do more damage than the higher ranks. The stacking debuff adds up, and makes the HY3 strong in almost every situation.

    Great vid as always sir appreciate the content......I would like to say one thing. I feel CF2 is just fine if you are running solo or pug TFO's and not chasing max DPS, there are a few ships that get overlooked because they only have rank 2 available to them that I feel are very fun and still do a ton of damage (Strike ship) for instance. Perhaps not the right arena for this comment because this is a "meta" build video in which yes you want CF3 but I feel like CF2 gets an unjust bad wrap.....thoughts?

    This may be a old question but I haven't seen it answered. The Weapon modifiers Dmgx4 , is this really better than CrDx4. It seems with High Crit chance Crit Damage would pull ahead. Now that we can re-engineer our modifiers I would appreciate your opinion on Weapon Mods. Thank you in advance.

    • @CasualSAB
      @CasualSAB  2 года назад +1

      I don't have the math in front of me, but with builds at a higher level, damage typically wins out as it's a final multiplier and the amount of damage boosts on these builds adds up to be quite a bit.
      You easily have several hundred % cat 1 that is then multiplied by a few hundred % cat 2. Then the Dmg mod comes in afterwards taking advantage of all the damage boosts you have.
      There are some calculators out there on reddit.com/r/STOBuilds , just take a bit of time to go through and figure out the exact differences based on your build and buffs

      Console wise, the Deimos Pilot Destroyer for the Immolating Phaser Lance if you want to invest in the Crossfield Refit for the "Universal Designs" trait.

    You have Entwined Tactical Matrices backwards. It does not trigger on FAW or SV and it does not give you Torp Spread 1. It triggers on TS and it gives you both FAW 1 and SV 1. I use it in my torp boat build, which is very different from yours, because I use a pilot ship and not a command ship and boost my damage with a combination of Promise of Ferocity, Supercharged Weapons and Weapon System Synergy, along with the Entwined Tactical Matrices. I don't ever both with FAW or SV because I get both every time I do a torp spread and I do them often because I use a DEF tank *means I get missed a lot" and Reciprocity trait, which reduces tactical and intel cooldowns every time you get missed in combat.I also do NOT reply on High Yields and usually have it as HY2 for special situations. Instead I dish out all my DPS with Torp Spread 3s as fast as I can pop them off. I do 4 torps on the front and 2 360 beams and either a turret or a beam array that completes a set in the back. I been doing torp boats for about a decade, long before most players thought a viable torp boat was even possible, none the less considered the OP build. I also use a different mix of Torps, but we have the Neutronic in common which is my Torp 1, and the Dark Matter Quantum, which I use as Torp 4 and the one that changes if I want to swap out a torp for a specific energy damage type. Between those I put the Gravimetric and the Morphogenic, and I use polarons for my energy weapons. I also use a couple partial sets and several full sets in my build, including the Escort Mods set with it's Point Defense Torps console.

    • @CasualSAB
      @CasualSAB  2 года назад +2

      I am glad that you have found a build that works for you. However, you are not correct with regards to ETM. I would strongly suggest that you re-read the description of Entwined again, it works both ways. CSV and FAW both grant a TS1 while ETM is slotted.

    • @Vizhonary
      @Vizhonary 2 года назад +1

      Okay. I just reread it in game and it seems you are right in that it actually does both. Triggers fire at will and scatter volley one when you use a torp spread and triggers a torp spread one when you use fire at will or scatter volley. Not the way I remember it working, and I have always used it for FAW on the omni's being triggered whenever I torp spread. Never used it the other way.

      The DPRM is still a very good console for general use cases and for most players.
      The reason it isn't always used is:
      1. In a high level environment, you don't need the survivability from it. So you'd only be using it to get the 40% cat 2 for 20s.
      2. On a high end build, you may be at or close to 100% Crit Chance. At that point, CrtD can be competitive with Cat 2 damage boosts. So depending on the build, it can be more beneficial to go for more CrtD rather than short duration Cat 2 boost, as the CrtD would be there all the time.

    Ceaseless Momentum does not reduce the recharge time of torpedo for 5 seconds. It only reduces it for ONE second. I went out and bought it off the exchange after watching this video only to find out you didn't know what you were talking about with this trait. I'm finding this happen more often than not with content creators for this game that the information they are giving is entirely inaccurate. The bonus damage stacks but the recharge time does not stack nor does it say it does in the tool tip. I assumed you tested this trait out since you were talking about it guess not
