Damage Categories

Damage bonuses in Star Trek Online are neither straight additive, nor strictly multiplicative – there are two distinct “categories,” or “sets,” of damage bonuses. Most bonuses fall within one set or the other, which determines the order of operations for calculating damage: like bonuses are added within their set, which determines the category’s final bonus, which is then treated as a final multiplier.

For example: if you have two +25% Set A (Cat1) bonuses, you would receive a 1.5x final damage multiplier from Set A. If you have one 25% Set A (Cat1) bonus, and one 25% Set B (Cat2) bonus, you would receive a 1.25x final damage multiplier from Set A, and a 1.25x final damage multiplier from Set B.

Any bonus that does not fall in Set A or Set B is treated as its own individual, final multiplier.

For example: Beam: Fire At Will II is a +6% final multiplier to beam weapons for its duration. This means it will always grant a 1.06x multiplier to damage.

Modifiers stack additively within a category, and multiplicatively across categories. The commutative property of multiplication dictates that neither category – once all bonuses within each category have been added together to determine that category’s ultimate bonus – has “primacy” over the other; they apply simultaneously, according to the rules of arithmetic.

(also, for clarification, 2pc means the set bonus you get for having 2 items from that set equipped)

Threating Stance and Strategist Tree

New Abilities

Here are a few examples of the new abilities you can earn from the Strategist Secondary Specialization. Most abilities within this Specialization function differently based on whether Threatening Stance is turned on or off.

Logistical Support

  • Threatening Stance On: Gain 5% of Incoming Hull Healing as Temporary Hull. This stacks up to 10 times.
  • Threatening Stance Off: Gain 1% Critical hit Chance when healed. Further healing refreshes this effect.

Show of Force

  • Threatening Stance On: Increase Incoming Healing by 10%.
  • Threatening Stance Off:
    Gain 2% Critical Hit Severity for each foe you hit with energy weapons. This stacks up to 5 times.

Attrition Warfare

  • Threatening Stance On: Reduce your Bridge Officer Recharge times by 1% when healed.
  • Threatening Stance Off: Increase shield and hull regeneration rates.
