Missions & Complexes

Currently my alts are heavy drone passive rattlesnake for Caldari/mini and gallante space and a Paladin pilot for Amarr space.

Since there's no point economically speaking in flying a rattlesnake with heavy drones atm, the Paladin character is what I was focusing on before patch, the topic is mainly about full room agro in certain lvl 4 missions in Amarr space.

Which missions to be exact, should be avoided/dropped by the Paladin pilot for Amarr space, 2 paladins, Pulse and soon to be tachy (as soon as I figure out a fitting to accommodate the new changes)

What mainly concerns me, is full room agro and to an extent, Electronic counter measure changes to an extent.

Just post the mission, Missions which are undoable for a 600 DPS burst tank (15 min) lvl 4's and try to add some detail as to why.


If im asking a question which already has answers elsewhere on the internet/EvE forums, do please point me in the right direction, otherwise, lets get this started.

Slightly off topic, but Yes, at one point I was running missions in my Paladin and a friend wanted to gain standing for an Amarr faction, so he brought out his Mach and I brought my Pulse Pally, and we ripped missions
the longest mission was Angel extravaganza, which lasted a whole 15 min from start to finish with bonus room included.
The pally would take as much agro as possible, but not all of it, its a superb due, or atleast was before patch for Amarr space.
Most missions where less then 4 min, dock undock and traval time included.

The Paladin pilot is currently in possession of 2 hulls, one of them is Pulse fitted "Pally" by "Books Kara" on batleclinic fitting. the 2nd hull is destined to become a Tachyon beam build (I was convinced having 2 pally's is the way to go after that same friend showed off his tachy pally in 1 mission, Mining misappropriation, Both builds definitely have some great capabilities, but at roughly 2B isk after build cost for a Pally, im not taking these ships out until I know exactly what to expect.

I was disappointed, greatly at the builds made by people with multiple accounts upvoting themselves over 4.5B isk fitted pinatas, the Pulse fitting was absolutely flawless in actual ingame performance, multiple revisions, its a very solid build I recommend it as a first paladin for first timers, still even 2B isk is not something im planning on risking on a daily basis, period.

Edit part:
Im considering the option of Nightmare for Tachyon build, but my character is extremely focused, the only shield skills he possesses are just enough to build rigs, from the salvage and on a side note, I don't think il be salvaging much from wrecks 50+KM out, since the idea is to be 70~km away from enemies, so the nightmare is actually the optimal platform for tachyons in my opinion, but then again, the pally is by far more versatile, speed salvage and a few other reasons, including being a tougher platform, but if you have a shield character to work with then id defiantly give it a try, perhaps even give some feedback in a few weeks after you perfect your due, if you decide on that path.

Would have to get very creative with those 5 low slots, unfortunately, im not that creative.

Im still hoping people will begin posting which missions their running into that immediately receive full room agro and which missions are impossible for Marauder pilots SOLO.

even if you don't know the name of that mission or those missions, just post what you remember about it, every little bit helps.

Or

Did CCP fully fix, atleast the Major high DPS lvl 4's already and I missed the entire boat completely?

Single character with 2 paly's in assets, other PVE character is shield, both very incompatible, other then warping in a 3500 passive perma tank Rattle into the mission, still not the point. or the information im seeking.

Being able to use either pulses or tachs on a paladin makes a big difference, at least it has for me. To be bluntly honest, I was quite unimpressed with damage projection of a pulse fit over a tach fit, since the tach fit I use is less than 100dps short compared to pulses. You also tend to burn up freq crystals much faster in a pulse build, too. As far as having any fears of tank, the paladin holds up pretty well it seems on its own. Mine tanks about 550 or so verses bloods for a good half hour even with tachs blazing. I haven't ran into any missions from them or sansha yet that gave me issues as far as tank (aside from worlds collide before they fixed the aggro bug). I will say I use a core type repper rather than a mere faction repper, so that might be recommendable (though it needs a fitting rig/imp/mod to have enough grid with tachs)

In Amarr space


Worlds Collide

Pockets 2-3 (sansha/blood side) have a lot of neuting/tracking disrupt power that could render a Paladin helpless.


The Assault

The guristas jam a lot and the Paladin has poop for sensor strength.


Silence the Informat

The mercanary pocket will full room aggro and has a large amount of DPS/Tackle/Web.


Intercept the Saboteurs

Mixed DPS in the final pocket and a lot of tackle.

Thank you!

Focused character is focused on staying focused.

the time it would take me to train perfect shield skills, I could spend taking the remainder of my invention skills to 5's, all of them.

P.S.
the Pally has more DPS, versatility and doesn't have the capacitor handycap of the nightmare, they are both good choices, its all a matter of what resources are available and personal preference, is all it comes down to really.

Yes I did =)

Thank you for the offer, but I pretty much have all of the above, the Mach I cant fly, and for the bhaalgorn, the tracking is pretty poor, Tested and tried during the incursion expansion, not recommended for solo mission running, although if you pair it with a Scimi and tracking links, it becomes a beast with that sensor strength bonus it has.

So far so good, whole room agro surprise's Iv not run into yet, I hope I never do, perhaps you should have read the original post, thanks.
