Ships & Modules

As the title says, I really like the look of the Amarr T3 cruiser but the ship lacks luster in so many ways. And so I was wondering if CCP had any plans to look over the ships attributes in the near future or would I be better off training for another T3 cruiser instead?

What is it your trying to do with the legion? It is a heavily relied upon ship for incursions, and also makes an insane HaM baiter. You also see them quite often in WH space as mini bhaalgorns. There are other t3s that need buffs long before the legion hull is looked at.

They have a much broader variety of uses than any non t3, but aren't quite up to par on say, cloaky ganging like the proteus, or exploration sites like the tengu, no. Certainly not a limited set of uses.

you forgot hotdrop logi fit, which is something DAMN useful underrated thing for altchars ;)

also you didn't mention the laserfits for a legion, which is also viable ( zealot 2.0)

you didn't mention hybrids of those above, who may become viable in smallscale

That beeing said, the Legion & Loki are the 2 most viable T3s out there, while in theory the proteus has better dps, the legion shines with better application & projection and equal tank (nowdays its easy to counter most proteus fanatics with kin + therm resistacking (refitting on caps ftw)....)

Not sure what's so bad with the legion.

It's the mainstay ship in alot of incursion groups and is the workhorse of alot of notable WH groups

I personally fly a beam legion over every other t3 available for WH fleet PvP

My impression of theCCP comments about the proposed T3 balance is they want them to be better than T1 and to be versatile but INFERIOR to a T2 in any one specialized area because current T3s are making some T2s useless.

A lot of people are interpreting that as a nerf but we will have to wait and see.

Can't see active rep getting that much of a nerf tbh. Tengu/Prot/Legion will likely all lose their 10% armour/shield hitpoint subsystems to a lower bonus imo. But on the whole, T3s aren't really that badly balanced with some of the other buffs throughout the game recently. If Recons get a bit more cap/ehp T3s really will struggle to be the best at a fair few areas when compared to HACs, Recons, Faction Cruisers and Command ships.

I would expect t3's to be rebalanced in a point release sometime before December.

HAM Tengu is better than HAM Legion
ABHAC Proteus is better than ABHAC Legion

Only PVP use where Legion is best T3 is as a neut boat. It might or might not be cloaked.

All T3's will be rebalanced in the future. Biggest Legion disadvantage is being mid slot heavy and low slot light compared to Proteus or T2 armor tankers. (which is exactly why it's a worse ABHAC)
