I am looking for a good arbitrator build for running lvl 2 missions and lvl 3s if it can be done. I do not have the greatest skills yet for this so I will need to spend some time training them up. Thank you in advance.

Why would u want to take an Arbi into missions? Sure it will be able to handle lvl 2 missions and even lvl 3 with skills and competent flying but it would hardly be optimal.

Are u focused into amarr? And in what weaposystem, drones, lasers or both (asuming u can use 5 drones)?

Welp, interesting choice of ship for PvE.

I mean it's l2 missions, any cruiser can do it with any fitting really. But, I guess have this random active shield Arbi I just made. It's a Drone boat so getting Drone Interfacing skill to 5 is your biggest priority. You won't be able to use most (any) of the T2 mods, so use meta 3 version of them. And the rigs, /shrug.

Well I am amarr so that is the ships I can currently fly. I am only able to use 4 drones right now and I have the bare basics in weapon skills. I know I will have to train a fair amount of skills to use any good build. I like using drones and I am partial to lasers and the fact that I do not need to constantly buy amo for it.

If your weaponsystem of choice will be drones then maybe go gallente instead. Go vexor--->Myrmidon--->Dominix. Only thing u really need are the skills to fly the actual ships to do better than whatever u can do with amarr. If I were u Id train lvl 4 gallente Cruiser, then drones 5 and fly a vexor

I have run mission in an Arbitrator its actually ok at it.

Arbitrator --> Prophecy is actually a viable mission path for a drone user but for level IV you probably need to cross train Gallente and get an Ishtar or Dominix.

What ship and build would you recommend for lvl 4 mission running with drones? I need to get a skill plan together to see how I should do my remap of skill points.

The Armageddon actually makes a pretty decent L4 ship. You can fit it with drones and missiles then devote all of it's cap to running your tank and still push some decent damage. This is assuming you have missile skills, of course. For the dedicated droneboater, Gallente will always be your best bet.

A shield boost arbi is actually a pretty interesting concept, as it could deal some impressive damage to clear the room quickly. Not really a common fit, but I fly a shield Dominix so I can't really complain Big smile
