I have been flying this in minmatar space for a long time, but I am about to make a change of venue to work on some caldari corps. So far I have not run into anything that this can't handle with the combined range tank and reactive armor tanking that runs for ~5mins, but in angel territory I only get gurista missions very rarely and most of them are the trivially easy ones with not many battleships. Essentially, I'm concerned that the tank might give-out under sustained fire from a lot of pith battleships that can launch past 100km, but I figured I would ask around a tick before I went and purchased a more expensive repper. I'm way too lazy for refitting hardeners by mission.

Anyone flying a similar fit that wants to comment would be great, thanks.

thing with guristas that on some L4s they got bs which will shoot you for over 100km range so if u can burn those long range ships quick enough it might work otherwise don't neglect u'r tank.

never done a mjd domi,

but my mjd raven worked great (Assault might get hard) with 350 race specific tank and around 900 dps.

Switch to wardens instead of bouncers and you'll be fine. Armor is natively stronger against kin/therm than explosive so you'll have plenty of tank.

You may need to actually take notice of triggers when fighting against Guristas.

The normal Domi tactic of triggering full room aggro and then popping them all from 120km as they approach does not work so well against Gurista.

I have a similar fit and I use it against Guristas sometimes. You have to watch your cap and tank a little more but it works fine. Also as a previous poster said be careful with triggers.

pretty much works fine, I'd just go with a kinetic hardener instead of the EANM, as nearly all the damage that hits you is kinetic.

I can also add that the Wardens will Hit way past 100 km. I'm hitting pretty good at like 120-140km range with 3x ODTEII (the new low slot mods). Using the mids you should be able to hit out past 150km . I cant really say what the Guritas range is though.

Not sure about Guristas, but it's pretty decent for Angels.
Mine drone control range is 163km and not much will hit you until they get close to 100km out.
Easy mode.
Granted, they aren't doing max damage from that far out, but they still hit.

Some Gurista rats have insane range. Pretty sure I have been hit at well over 150km perhaps even close to 200km by Gurista missiles.

Do not trigger full room aggro against Guristas.

I'd just use an Ishtar myself for gurista. The only way I could ever justify a dominix over an Ishtar was when the dominix has 6 guns and 6 damage mods, otherwise all its battleship penalties actually make it slower.

There isn't any gurista missions that can break a moderate shield tank on an Ishtar, and it suffers from far less drone agro because its close to the same size as its sentries, and you can bring some rails to pop frigates and then ignore it until the pocket is done.
