Yeah melee against borg is not recommended unless you have some one taking ALL the aggro from you

Most DPS runners are running 4 piece Iconian because of the activated ability, which boost damage for you AND any one with in 5 KM of you

Oh! I have this set, I'm glad that I got something right in the game, no wonder I don't blow up as often as I used to LOL

I'll admit I just default to a quality bat'leth. Simple but effective, even if it isn't the most effective. Never had any problems with that so long as my defence stats are good as you're in such close range.

I tried that but I was assimilated :(

I just learned how to upgrade an item.
I spent the last few hours upgrading my weapons, attached.

yes the TR is good, but it doesn't affect shields and those borg has insane amount of shields, a better thing to do is to go full omega and have the TR as the main weapon, remember you can swap between weapons and even if it's stowed, if the weapon is part of a set, it will still count towards the bonus. The bonus give a passive bonus damage to every member of your team.

The only weapon I would suggest for killing Borgs is the TR-116B rifle... it totally ignores the Borg shields and kills them dead.

You can craft one if you have lvl 15 Ground Weapons rep and the correct doff - or buy from the exchange for about 750k (totally worth it)

And the good thing is it is Account bound so you can use it on all your toons..

I've been spending way too much time on Risa. But every so often I sign up for a mission in the PvE queue. I'm ok with space combat but I need help on Ground combat.

There are a few ground missions with the Borg. So what is the best ground weapon for killing Borg? I tried using different anti-borg weapons. What is the best way/setup to kill the borg hoards?

(BTW: I am a level 58, tactical captain)

I'm always tinkering with my space gear, trying new items just to see if I like them and if they're fun to play with. In GW2 terms, I like to play my ship sort of like it's a Mesmer. I've been checking out some of the reputation gear, and some of it looks great in theory but I'm not sure how well it might work in practice on my Scryer. I use Mk XIV antiproton arrays in front and 360-arcs in back, but pretty much everything else is negotiable.

I ran with the full Dyson Joint Command Technologies set for quite a while and liked it, but recently I've been using most of the Assimilated and Adapted Borg sets which have turned out to be quite nice. I don't much care for the Omega Torpedo since it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as useful in practice as it does from the description and will be going back to my old favorite, the Romulan Hyper-Plasma Torpedo Launcher. The Assimilated Impulse Engine provides very impressive speeds, especially in sector space (almost as good as transwarp). Since there isn't a Borg warp core, I'm running the Delta Alliance Trajector Warp Core mainly to gain the Trajector Jump ability, which is extremely handy both on offense and defense. Once I complete the Borg set with the shield array, I'm hoping to have some fun with the Borg Tractor Beam.

I've also seen a lot of chatter on the interwebz about the Iconian 4-piece set being a good choice for both DPS and survivability. I'm interested in giving it a try but I just wonder if it's really as good as it's being billed since it seems like a lot of these sets have at least one "meh" component in them, and reputation set bonuses often seem better on paper than they do in practice.

Does anyone have that full Iconian set and is it worth the grind for a SCI ship, or is it more oriented for TAC? Is there something that should be swapped out, or is there another set that I should consider, either full or partial? I enjoy trying different loadouts to help keep the game fresh, so input is appreciated.

Hey everyone and thanks for letting me join.

My name is Chris, been playing STO and SWTOR for ages now (on and off since release) and enjoy being part of an nice fleet community to help out on mission or just simply to talk crap with others (more often it's the latter especially if having a beer!!)

I'm living in London, I'm an intensive care nurse working in a busy London Trauma centre. I'm currently studying in for my intensive care degree which means I should be studying and not playing games (feel free to remind of this :lol:)

I enjoy playing video games, watching movies/cinema and running (currently awaiting a place in the London Marathon 2017)

Welcome! :woohoo:
