That sums up GD quite well, but that is why normal people are here to point and laugh at them.

I theorycrafted a polarized pulse navy omen fit a while ago that would probably work for blapping frigates but I haven't gotten to using it yet. Range and speed are your tank, with good dps and application to peel ships off as they come into optimal sounds good to me.

As Wingspan suggested, they fit well with Bombers (where your resistances have almost no effect on your tank (because if you're being shot at by something you might not be able to kill your tank has already broken)). I've also seen some interesting Marauder fits (well, Golem and Vargur fits) which use swathes of shield boost amplifiers to achieve very high shield boost amounts, compensating for the loss of resistances.

Probably great on ships that if caught are dead anyway. Attack battle cruisers, I'm looking at you

I use them for blitzing L4 missions. 100-120 mil/h

They might be useful for Speedfarming C3 anomalys. They are not harder than L4 missions. Could make 500 mil/h depending on ship, Effects and application. I actually haven't tested it.


They might be a good choice for suicide ganking and PVP Bombers. As some peoples mentioned, these weapons are effective against Pos and Pocos. I actually EFT warriored a bit with T1 frigs with these weapons for PVP(Slicer with 300dps or Daredevil with 600 dps).

i'm REALY miss the old stuff.

I'm still watching your videos. While 'other people' (who have the nerve to call themselves PVErs) are sitting around convinced that polarized weapons aren't worth it, you're making them work and making isk from it. That sir is PRO level PVE, I take my inspiration in game from folks like you.

There's a guy in the My Eve section of the forum that has a bunch of polarized weapon PvE videos including C3 anoms in a polarized Legion.\

edit: nevermind, that's the guy who posted a couple posts ahead of me

Hm. Time to start playing around with polarized cruises on a 'Snake.

New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.

Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

No such thing as Polarized Cruises. At least not yet

buddy of mine uses a Polarized Torp Rattlesnake with a gecko, it's bloody insane.

Well that makes that easy then. Guess I'll train up torpedoes.
