Hey guys, you'll have to excuse me if this has already been mentioned, but isn't the orthrus a bit strong? I can pull 700+ dps with 30k+ ehp out of it with just my crappy skills. Is there some weakness i've overlooked or are there nerfs incoming. The reason I ask is that i'd like to invest in said ship, but i'm a bit weary of an over-nerf coming in the future.

So it does a bit more damage than a HAC with a bit less tank than a HAC?
Nah. Seems about the right spot for a pirate cruiser.

My Stratios has about the same DPS with 65k ehp, sounds about right to me then.

No nerf will be incoming. Orthrus is a glass cannon. It fights like the cynnabal only at slightly longer range. if its caught and scrammed, it dies just as fast as a caracal.

Please buy more Orthruses (Orthri?) and Garmurs. This message brought to you by your local Mordus Legion security patrol.

CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude.
