Hi there,

I have been doing Anoms in all regions of eve but was wondering what would be the best ship/setup for drone Anoms like the Drone Horde anoms.

As far as I know drones do Omni damage and Explosive in particular. Can any1 suggest a setup that would work best ?

Regards

Pre loot changes was a combo of Archon with sentries on assist to a Paladin ( dps kind plus traktors plus storage plus support )
Now without traktors/salvaging i think a huba tachy-Nightmare can rock hard even solo

Rogue Drones deal Explosive, Kinetic, EM and Thermal, more or less in that order. The specific damage distribution depends on the anomaly. Drone Hordes tend more towards Explosive, Kinetic, and EM, since Drone Hordes tend to spawn waves of Drone Queens, which deal Explosive/EM damage. There are two types of hordes, and to run the neut tower horde you will want somewhere around a 600dps tank, at least, that can withstand some neut pressure.

Rogue Drones are weak to EM (47%), Thermal (57%), Kinetic (67%), and Explosive (77%), in that order. The resistances are identical for both shield and armor, and for all drones regardless of name or size. That means you ideally want a ship that either does straight EM damage (missile and drone boats) or EM/Thermal damage (Amarr ships).

Nightmare and paladin are looking good, as mentioned above.
