Just wondering, is it worth it/doable to use? Say in a Navy or regular Apoc, going 2x EANM + RAH instead of EANM + 2xhardener for resistances. Will 2 specific hardeners still be superior?

Not going to train the related skill due to cap use, so the cycle time will be as slow as it can get.

EANM + 2 hardeners should work out to more resist in the end. I think the main issue would be how the damage type breaks down. If the NPC is very heavy on one type you might be better off with the RAH.

Why not go with hardeners and an RAH? If you have the cap that would be the best since they do not stack at all.

I do have the cap, and EFT shows a slight increase in tank as long as the incoming damage is of only 2 types. The increase with RAF + hardeners (Even if only 1 is of the type) vs. a single damage type is obviously enormous over an EANM + hardeners since the RAH shifts to 60% vs that type.

So basically, what I can take away from this is that if the incoming damage is of 2 types or less, RAF + hardeners is best, and if it's 3 or more (Drones), EANM + hardeners is best. Right? The increase in tank seems fairly minimal considering the windup time involved with a RAH, though.
