Warfare & Tactics

I just started PvP in FW, and I'm loving it. I have no idea why I didn't start this a long time ago!!!

My questions:

1. Is it possible to play a healer type in PvP? (I know, I know, this isn't WoW, but you know what I mean.)
2. If so, will it be at all helpful for me to roam around helping people out, or do I need to be in a fleet?
3. If so, what are some good ships to look into? I'm trained to 5 in Caldari frigates and 4 in Min and Gal frigates.


I'm thinking about doing the same with a support type ship. Maybe roaming aroung in a vigil, entering plexes, and helping people out with painters. Would that be totally pointless?

Thanks is advance

For the love of all that is good in this world, please dont *ever* use WoW terms in this game.

Not only do most of us have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, the very fact you associate yourself with that filth destroys any and all credibility you may have.

Therefore, the only worthy response is Trolling of the highest degree.

*NEVER* use the word 'healer', the only correct word that can be used here is 'repper'.

ick...I feel filthy and dirty even just thinking about this, let alone typing it.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that WoW was the first RPG and it coined the word "healer". I am also surprised to find out that there are people out there that have "no idea" that replenishing another persons HP in an RPG is considered a "healer" role. Please tell me more oh wise one, I would love to expand my knowledge base.

OT: I would ask in militia chat if anyone would like a logi frig to accompany them on a plex roam. Sometimes I would do what you are suggesting with a Falcon, just pop up out of nowhere and jam people. Not knowing where there are fleets and battles though it can be boring just jumping around hoping to see someone to repair, and by time you do get there it might be too late.

Do we still all have to pretend we never played that game?

It's one of the most popular games ever and the number one MMO in the world. Chances are everyone on this forum played it and most probably enjoyed it a bit too.

There's no moral high-ground to be had when choosing games. It's just personal preference.

I haven't - my reasoning is that I enjoy sci-fi games, and dislike fantasy games. I played starcraft, but not warcraft. (the RTS). Eve, being a sci-fi game, is likely to attract a lot of people like this.

I played EVE, DAoC and FFXI at the time WoW came out so I never played it either. I watched people play it, I just never got into it.

Many of the large null alliances give away Logi ships, or at the very least replace ones lost in their fleets. With the buff to T1 logi, it's a bona fide career path now IMO. You could absolutely focus on Logi support from day one in Eve now.....as long as you have someone to rep.....it's still an MMO, and playing as support dictates being social.

Higher end Logi lends itself to PvE in the form of Incursions, where you can be the hero of the fleet, but will be held up to an ALL V skill standard or risk being flatly ignored by FC's.

Logi skills are just a couple individual skills trained on top of standard core skills. You will always need strong cap skills, high targeting (10 targets at once is standard), fast locking....for Logi or any PvP. Beyond that there is armor, shield and energy xfer modules to train up, all very quickly to V.
So Logi need not be much of a 'focus' until you get into T2 Logi Cruisers, where training times will slow down dramatically. With the buffs to T1 Logi, you can 'dabble' at it some to get a feel if you like it.

EDIT-- get your basic logi and cap skills to IV and take any of the T1 logi cruisers to FW. Any fleet will be more than happy to have you.

What is an "Elf RealDoll"? Something from the Ann Summers catalogue?

What is that old saying? When an EVE player leaves for WOW, the average IQ of both communities is increased?

This guy is the exception to the rule

I'd recommend following me around wherever i go and repping me up when i get into fights.

Its very fulfilling.
