Hey, so..

As a beloved ishtar lover (...)

The Ishtar seems to have been HEAVILY overlooked here, they have reduced the dps of the ishtar by 5%, why only that? Nothing to do with it's insane speed for a gallente HAC, and extreme resist tank, or 130km range with Wardens? (I know... wardens right?)

The only thing here is, they have made Ishtar POS/POCO bashing a bit slower.

What you guys think guys? Especially with the HUGE decrease to Tengus and med rail nerf.

Edit: Triumvirate. are not allowed to post on this.

If my maths are correct, the damage nerf is 16.77% on overall DPS ... that is a significant chunk

Why you no use search feature to find the other 500 nerf ishtar threads and post this drivel there?

Reported for redundancy.

That is not the problem with the ishtar, its prolem is tiny signature radius and MASSIVE damage projection onto ships, which is slightly being answered with the nerf to bouncers

This is not a new nerf Ishtar thread, it is a discussion thread of the nerfs that have been announced for the Ishtar.
So not redundant.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Like 90% of eve doesnt fly them too :P And honestly...we hate that ship and wouldnt fly it if it wasn't so op. Excited for these changes, but it could be hit harder.

I'm aware that u guys don't just fly ishtars ;P But yeah, still it just seems they have been grazing shotted more than penetrated..

So I guess we'll see if this changes anything (it won't)

well 5% per level, so 25% less damage with sentries overall

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Nerf web strength, Make the blaster Eagle worth using

i would like too see nerfs to the ishtar's dronebay size so it cant have 3 sets of sentries, something like 300m3 max.
also removal of HP bonuses on all drone damage and HP bonuses, so they become detached from each other.

Ishtars having 3 sets of sentry doesnt bother me too much. However when it can hit at 130km and move at 2700ms, with 85k+ ehp and do 700 dps.. that combination is unreal. Even after this nerf, curators still do roughly 575 dps :P

There's no problem with dps. Dps is good. It makes ppl die. The problem is these slippery nanoey kitey Ishtars that don't die. They need to have their speed slowed and sig increased so that they may die.

This risk aversion meta dominating Eve, that's breeding all these slippery tengu and ishtar blobs, needs to be put under the boot.

When Tri flies their Rattlesnakes full time, all is right with Eve.
