I have two accounts

One account is a near perfect Amarr BS Pilot (flies an Apoc Navy Issue)

My other account is a typical Caldari Char... Maxed out Drake pilot with toes dipped into the normal T2 frigs and Cruisers...

Where should I take this char to compliment the Amarr pilot in ripping through LV4's? another ApocNI or should I go elsewhere for versatility....

Anyone else run two mission BS's? (I'm even open to T2 BC option)

SPEAK.....

Well the CNR is an excellent mission runner, or a tengu, there both awesome PVE ships, and a Tengu with a Navy Apoc sounds like some pretty fierce PVE performance to me

Maxed out drake spec should be close to a Tengu or NH. Cross the Amar char to caldari for NM.

I imagine it would be, I use a drake and a navy apoc and its fantastic. So a tengu/navy apoc would rap3!


Generally a Domi and something like a navy apoc would be good to id think. Drones for small stuff. Lazers for the bigger stuff. Then switch domi to sentries to help clean up. Never tried it though.

You will notice that your drones will not get to do alot. Sentry drones might work fine in a 1 room mission, but for everything else I wouldn't use it.

2 Abaddons tore mission rats a new one when me and a friend ran missions together in Amarr space a year ago (I'm no longer a mission runner). The nice thing is that you can sacrifice alot of the tank, or atleast cap stability which lets you run gank setups.

That said the abaddons has the disadvantage of not being able to change damage types if you would not run in Amarr space or even get one of the few angel/gurista missions there. But basically get 2 high dps output battleships with direct damage, the combined drones of those two will handle frigates fast enough anyway.

1st BS is full DPS (NM, Mach, etc) and 2nd BS is logistic domi, with sentry drones assisting 1st BS.

Im looking at the Domi TBH... I just wondered what the general gist of the community was...

My ApocNI is gorgeous but the tank can get a bit thin when tanking full rooms on some missions and she struggles to pop a few of the frigs with her drones.... Hence the Drake in the room to take some tanking and frig popping..


SO.. Logi Domi with RR and all that good stuff...

any tips?

Don't worry about Logi if you're going Domi. You can set up a ridiculous active tank on a Domi, plus your Navy-poc can throw on a few armor bots and assist the Domi (if it ever needs it.)

1200 DPS cap stable tank VS. Guristas/Serpentis. Bit less for some others. Fit projectiles for added damage and no effect on the cap. Basically fly this ship in, Gather all the aggro, warp in the other, blow sh*t up and move on. If you want, put a prop mod and a cap transfer array on both ships to move faster. Or a couple neuts on the Domi if both your characters are in the same corp.

Lots of fun w/ a Domi!

If you gank fit your NMs, you could probably buffer tank the missions if you blitzed them.
