Hi,

I am quite newbie to game. Been doing lvl 4's for a while now against blood raiders. I have been using galente ships from day 1 with armor repairing. My majority of SP's lies in drones and I am quite low on gunnery. (t2 all drones but heavy, t2 light/med hybrids, almost no missiles).

Last week I have moved to null space to join a corp. My main purpose in game is to pve and I have been dying to try null space anomalies and complexes. Now that I have moved to Angel space, my dominix for the first time having really hard time to tank (havens). I have been told its not a good idea to armor tank against Angels. So I have bought a Rattlesnake and started improving my shield skills. My following questions will be addressed to people who are experienced in Angel anomalies, complexes and shield tanking.

1) Normally with my former domi, I never moved since I always stayed aligned to a safe spot (my tank was risky). What should I do with a rattlesnake since it has a very strong tank? Should I orbit my sentries, or just stay still?

2) Should I use torpidos or heavy missiles? I was planning to warp right in the spot and do as much as damage from close range to big targets since I am thinking I will not have tanking issues. People are saying torpidos are a bad choice against anything but BS' but, honestly, its my drones where my dps comes from and its my drones who kill the smaller targets anyway?

3) Passive tanking... I have no idea about it, would anyone explain the tricks of passive shield tanking? What should I do, and what should I avoid?

4) Any information on Angel anomilies appreciated... What to target first, which triggers are important, what range I should take stand, any tricks?

5) I am planning to get a sniper glass cannon to anomalies but I have figured that unlike blood raiders angel cartel seems to shoot missiles even further than 150km... is there a maximum limit to that or they just keepi shooting no matter the range?

6) Would it be a good idea to keep a drake in the system with a WF link to shield resist?

7) How can I get all the aggro after a wave spawns? After killing trigger, I am worried about logistic ships or glass cannon I mentioned about, is there a way to get aggro when a wave spawns?

7) My fit... Feedbacks are really appreciated...

You can shield tank a domi pretty effectively.

may I get a fit for it? Been through battleclinic but it seems you need a navy issue if you want to shield tank without losing too much dps. Nevertheless, I would love to see a fit to try out while I train rattlesnake skills. (still have 7 days)

I would switch out the torps, without a TP they not going to do to much unless the BS are right on top of you. Can't remember whats in the haven spawns, but the seraphim does high EM damage... http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=24130&debug=1.
Not a domi pilot, but being able to use turrets to pop frigs as they come in along with sentries might be a good option as angels move fast and missiles are pretty poor against them.

... What next ??

I my self am in angel space as well.

I highly suggest you leave the havens alone.

try some Angel Forsaken Hub 's these are a really good anom to do. just cruisers/battlecruisers and battleships. no scrambling frigs of any sort.

how ever what you do is entirely upto you bud.

I my self clear over 100m an hour doing Angel Forsaken Hubs.

also some info for ya.
