Those look more like L4 mission fits to me and would mostly likely die in blood anoms. They might handle sansha ones but in blood anoms you get Archbishop spawns sometimes 3-4 of them and they neut the hell out of you when they are <30km. The last thing you want to be doing is flying a cap hungry ship that makes you stay around 17km from rats. Yes you can switch to scorch but if you need the range you might as well fit tachs.

To run blood anoms in amarr ships without taking too much of a risk its much better to fit for range and snipe them from 50-60km and avoid the neuts along with avoiding a considerable amount of the overall damage from the short range damage BS/BC rats.

For the harder anoms forsaken hubs/havens/sanctums to run them solo you pretty much require a deadspace tank of at least 700DPS unless you want to sacrifice your DPS considerably. And the last spawns of those are almost always touch and go since you get like 15 ships and 6-8 are high damage BS so I prefer a tank of around 800DPS and am always aligned for an emergency warpout. After all, you never know when you might kill a trigger at the wrong time and that extra tank keeps your expensive ratter from popping.

But I have flown many blood anoms in a paladin and average around 25-27mil tick. It's doable but in a sentry carrier(not max skills) I can get ~30mil ticks easy without having to worry about triggers and stuff. Only issue with ratting in a carrier is getting tackled since it has a 30 sec align time. So you want to use it in a very quiet dead end system so you can get it to safety long before reds get in system(pay attention to intel channels and local).

As for the NM I haven't used it in anoms mainly because I don't want to mess with cap boosters and the paladin already gets me 25+mil easy enough. The only thing different on the NM compared to the paladin is it has a little better tracking but if you are at range tracking isn't an issue at all.

Quick question - what do you mean by 'ticks'?

the real question is, if your runing to make isk why would you want to do the "harder" anoms when all you need to do is run forsaken hubs for optimal isk.

The answer is "you don't" lol. Forsaken hubs are king, although now that we've said that, CCP will nerf them.....

Basically every 20 mins you get in Isk what you have killed, that is a tick
