I see guides suggesting agitating energies (I tend to burst single target) but is there a case for overwhelming energies? Or does the extra damage tick equate to more damage compared to 5% overall damage?

Thanks!

Overwhelming Offense is a useful tactical to have in your legacy bank, to use it for alts who haven't acquired their actual BiS tactical yet.

It provides a lower DPS boost than every class-specific single target tactical, though, so you should only use it until you get, let's say Agitating energies (if you are a MM sniper).
