Ships & Modules

Check out SardCaid's videos on Twitch. He has done several videos on solo PvP including some fights with the Dominix.

I have not watched his stream in a while and I do not think he is doing much currently, but his videos should still be around and are worth watching even when they do not contain the updated Dominix.

Why AB instead of MWD: this depends on your preference. You could go completely without a propulsion. The Dominix is a slow battleship and almost if not all sub-cap ships will be faster. An MWD is then no good for winning chases, but it is still fast enough to get back to a gate for example and to make use of timers. An AB then uses less CPU/PG and needs less cap (and also does not alter the signature, but this is often irrelevant for a battleship). When you get tackled will neither make much of a difference.

Oh...and if you want to kill a Proteus, use this. Results are guaranteed, especially with armor links...C:

It is 90km, as I said. I fit the Co-Processor, because I want to fit as many drone-related mods and rigs as possible. The railguns not only one-shot frigates, while the drones shoot the battleships, but also help with getting aggro. My drones then hardly ever get aggro and I do not need to fit armor repairs into high-slots.

I am sure your fitting works, too, but you have put too much emphasis on tanking, because you did not think of emphasizing killing. You need to fit the other way around, first DPS, then tank.

Again, kill faster and you have less to tank. Be more aggressive. You will make ISKs faster.

The four 425mm Railgun IIs do on average 735 damage per volley over the full range with Spike L. This is enough to one-shot standard NPC frigates, which have between 100-500 hitpoints with ~25% resistances. Elite frigates and destroyers take between 2 to 3 shots. With Antimatter Charge L is it 1267 per volley at 36km. The damage per second value is between 107-184 DPS. It is like having 6 Garde IIs instead of 5 and it is enough to even chew through cruisers while the sentries are busy killing bigger stuff. Tracking is hardly ever an issue, because every NPC comes in a straight line at you. Getting the aggro is not only good for avoiding damage to your drones, but allows to get the attention if idle NPC groups and have them move towards you with very low angular velocities and lets the sentries always hit for full damage.

The Ogre IIs are for small mission pockets, i.e. when one needs to move to a gate. Using ogres to kill a group of cruisers while moving saves time.

Give it a try.

"The four 425mm Railgun IIs do on average 735 damage per volley over the full range with Spike L. This is enough to one-shot standard NPC frigates, which have between 100-500 hitpoints with ~25% resistances. "

Thank you for outing yourself as the EFT warrior you are. Your (four) 425s will not do 735 damage to 25% resist ships. 735 is the max. theoretical EFT value. At best you do 500 in theory, in reality much much less somewhere around 250-300, depending on the rats you encounter. And you don't have selectable damage. And you use ammo. And cap.

The time and cap and ammo it takes your 425s to even hit frigs in the best of circumstances would be better spend using your sentries to indeed alpha one-volley frigs and destroyers with your sentries.

Furthermore, instead of wasting a slot on a co-processor and a rig on the current router to fit your 425s, you would be better off fitting drone damage mods, however inefficient they are after the 3rd damage mod.

A PVE domi simply should not fit guns. Especially not if it requires extra rigs/lows to be able to fit them.

"The Ogre IIs are for small mission pockets, i.e. when one needs to move to a gate. Using ogres to kill a group of cruisers while moving saves time."

Sounds good in theory. In reality you will rarely meet cruiser only spawns. There will always be frigs around who, if you don't clear them, will target your ogres, no matter your aggro (FYI new AI). The cruisers will target your ogres as well. Your unbonused 425s with antimatter wont track an elephant in a telephone booth on short distances, therefore you will have to deploy smalls to clear the frigs then recall and deploy meds to clear cruisers.

Gun aggro wont change the fact that ogres will be targeted by frigs and cruisers, no matter what (and battleships too). You clearly do not understand the new AI. That is because you actually don't fly missions in domis. Otherwise you would know.

You are better off using your gardes who indeed got no problem obliterating frigs, cruisers and anything else, even at close range. Especially using 3 !!!! omnies.

I am asking now for a third time. How do you intend on beating me isk/hr if with your Frankendomi you cannot even handle the bonus room of an Angel Extravaga? You keep ignoring this and other facts like your extra 30km garde range actually does not matter for anything. But for that extra 20km range you give up a rig slot and a med slot and use 68 more CPU to fit it. You gain no dps advantage on your gardes, only 20km range. Which is a) useless and b) if it was usefull still not worth an extra mid and rig slot.

By fitting the drone scope chip you get 10km extra range to a total of 30km extra range on the gardes for another rig slot and a CPU penalty on a fit that already uses too much CPU (hence the co-processor).

1 extra med and 2 rig slots to get 30kms on gardes. Plus a co-processor in the lows.

And then you waste another low slot on a DCU claiming it is necessary to prevent a ship loss due to a disconnect.

Then you proceed to try to explain that your theoretical damage of your four 425s is worth a rig slot in from of a current router.

Your fit is a theory fit. You try to use pre odyssey fits and somehow make them work with the MJD and the new mechanics.

Guns make no sense at all anymore on a PvE domi. Neither do heavies. Especially not without a drone nav.

If you would PvE in a domi, you would know all of this.

You do not need 3 omnies. max 2 is enough.

You don't use a rig slot to extend your lock range by 25%. You use a SeBo with script to extend your lock range by 60% and give yourself the ability to take full advantage of the range of your long-range sentries who shoot even with just one omnie to 140km. At this range you wont need a DCU to keep you (as you claim) safe from discos as your drones will basically auto kill anything.

This is as close as you can get to afk missioning with a domi. This ould allow you dualboxing on another toon and make even more isk with that second toon, semi afk missioning in a second domi on a second account at the same time. Od do whatever else productive you chose to do (if you have a second account).

On top of that, freeing all those rig slots (garde range increase by fitting modules with CPU penalty and current routers to be able to fit 425s), low slots (your DCU) and mids (1 ommie instead of 3) will give you the ability to fit a tank and cap to actually do things like Bonus Rooms.

You have no clue how to fit or make money with a PvE domi.

All you have is theoretical dps output from your 425s that even at full theoretical DPS are just neglectable at the cost of a rig slot and useless 30km extra range on your gardes at the cost of CPU, one mid and 2 rig slots.

If it does not click now, you are beyond help. A

I am sure your fit somehow works too for low isk/LP missions, but if you wanAna make some real money with Bonus Rooms and potentially dual boxing 2 semi-afk mission domis on 2 accounts your fit is simply bad.

Enjoy your fit and your missioning. If you want a real fit then hit me up in game and i'll talk you through missioning in a domi

I love it when Whitehound posts, someone ALWAYS disagrees with him and it almost always turns into a Thread-derailing argument between WH and his victim that goes on for days.

I'm almost certain WH is a master troller, but if he's not ....... *boggle*

Only to add to the discussion on a Dominix doing the Angel Extravaganza did I use a Dominix today instead of my usual mission runner and looked at the time: 55 minutes. This included killing everything (ships & towers), shooting the silo and doing the bonus room. I also did the Worlds Collide with it and by going only over one side (Serpentis) did it take 20 minutes.

I am tired of reading about your bad advice you give to people. And I am not ranting at all. I am actually taking the time to explain to you why using 2 rig slots and a mid slot for a 30km range gain on garde (and only garde benefit from that) is a bad fit.

On top of that your fit not only uses more mids and rigs, but uses up about 70 CPU more than my fit.

PLUS your scope chip gives you on top of that a CPU penalty. Which at the end of the day results in you wasting another low slot for a co-processor

And then on top of that you waste another rig slot to increase your power grid in order to fit 425s, which wont do 551 damage on frigs. You are talking perfect shots which you aint getting.

Finally you tell people to fit a DCU because in your "experience" losing ships due to disconnects is a problem, which it is not. Especially not if you use the MJD on your domi and sit at 130km from the rats!

This is not ranting buddy. This is cut clear arguments against your fit.

"You have been playing with your character for 1 year now. I am playing as Whitehound for 4 years."

I dunno what you look up buddy, but I have been playing (on this toon) since October 2007. So on this toon I got almost 3 years on you. When you check things, at least do it right.

"I am not an EFT warrior, but rather use it to give you the facts in numbers so you can understand them."
This is your problem. You are all EFT numbers. Just like your 550 on frigs with unbonused 425s and spike L.

Your fit has no tank, no cap and no damage increase other than your theoretical damage you get from your useless 425s, which also use up cap and ammo.

Those are the cold hard facts.

You don't need 3 omnies on a domi. Max 2 is enough. You don't increase your lock range using a rig slot. You use a SeBo with script and you get 60% lock range over your 25% OR I get 30% lock range and 30% lock speed. I'll be clearing frigs off the field before you even lock them. But you want to beat me in isk/hr? LOL. Great dps gain you get from your 425s if you cannot shoot stuff cuz you haven't locked them yet LOL.

You DON'T waste a rig slot to fit guns on a hull that has no bonuses on guns. Especially not when you only field 4 of the possible 6, since it is a drone boat and guess what. you been fitting drone stuff in some of your highs LOL.

And you don't fit a DCU on a mission ship taking slots away from your tank. Especially not, when you are sitting in a MJD drone boat that is at about 120km away from any threat.

End of story.

My fault, you are right. I had not seen the 2007. However, the Dominix fitting works just fine. Try it or shut up. I am only going to report you for continuous ranting and antagonizing. I am tired of your attitude.
