Missions & Complexes

It seems they reworked the AI of the Team Burner Jaguar: A kiting worm is no longer an option as it will switch happily onto your drones (i did it twice today, both times the same behaviour) - something it did never the 20 or so times i did it before.

Anyone noticed any other AI updates for any burner?

Just lost my Enyo to Burner Daredevil. Something has changed: needed to have my 2x Webs overheated all the time. Lost them - then after 11km my rails stopped to hit burner.

Daredevil appears to have been "more kity" for a few weeks, at least in my experience. Faction webs or heat help a lot, getting lucky on the initial tackle (i.e. lock and web @ 2 - 3 km distance in stead of 5 km) helps more - but that appears to be more luck - based.

Even if the DD reaches that distance, dual webs and the resistance profile of a decently fit Enyo should still make it the easiest burner to take down on rails (and 1 drone) alone, imho.

Two more things:
1) My general Mosaic Launch post is here: http://evedogsbreath.blogspot.com/2015/04/anomic-base.html

It includes the full text of both of the new missions and links to my sisi battle reports, such as they are.

2) This is my Deimos fit. It is going to be slower (less dps) than the fit that Jorie linked, but the dual repper maybe offers some insurance. Since I am personally very bad at cap injection, it also uses Cap Rechargers instead of the painters. If you don't have all skills at V or want a more conservative starting point, this might be a fit to consider.

Strategy is basically the same as Jorie posted. Put the dual reppers out of phase (start one, then wait, then start the 2nd).

Get in, get moving, and pick a target. Spiral in carefully (I use the orbit buttons once we are close enough, right click to get different orbit ranges). With the MWD speed to mitigate damage, I basically hit approach when I get under 50km and come straight at him, but watch for wrecking shots and adjust. I also tend to shoot at the FAR RIGHT Talos first - just to get as far as possible from the FAR LEFT one. So my kill order is RIGHT, CENTER, LEFT.

The EC-300s are in the hull because early on I was toying with them to help mitigate damage, but honestly they are no longer required.

I had run this many times on sisi with an AB instead of MWD. Under AB it is a 15 minute fight (vs. ~5-7) and you have to be MUCH more careful about keeping transversal up and spiraling into the target carefully. But cap is MUCH less of an issue.

Take as many Cap Booster 400s as you can. With this fit, I manually turn the injector on or off depending how I am doing.

Lastly, same note as before - I haven't rechecked the desired resist profile lately. This fit worked as of the Monday before Mosaic launch, but might need tweaked if anyone has the damage profile.

Any more information? The Ashimmu hit to 70km+ but only DPS right, i assume it didn't NOS or webbed you at this range?

Ran the team burner - Jaguar with the kiting Garmur in an Incursion area

No affect on the team burner

Lost 50% of the bounty to Incursion affects

Did not notice any changes to Jaguar - still the fastest burner re range - set orbit 35 and it fluctuates 30-45

Can anyone confirm this?

I used Abavus's Gila fit (thanks!) on live and killed the Ashimmu burner. No exact time as I ran out of drones and after I knocked out the Sentinels I had to warp out to get some more drones. Needless to say it was very aggressive on drones. It seems like the Ash was attacking them as soon as they were launched. It was expensive to beat as I had upgraded the drones to the Federation Navy Hammerheads in hopes they would last longer. I never lost more than 25% of my shields though as he went straight for the drones as soon as they were out. In total I lost 11 drones. Next time will use Hammerhead IIs on the Sentinels and save a couple of Federation Navy ones for the Ash and try to manage them a little better.

didn't the daredevil always try to orbit at 11km?

time 9min
Warp in and take down Sentinals 1st and 2nd using Caldari Scourge light
Set orbit to 25 km but consistantlt remaied in 15 km range to Ashimmu - speed of 100 m/s mitigates some damage
Boost early from 15 % shield damage - used 12 Navy Cap Booster 800 in total ending up at 50% shield
Shield gets to 15% remaining before 2nd sentinal is killed
After that boost as req and to level of damage acceptance , allowing for the odd wrecking shot
Swop to Scourge Fury for the Ashimmu

and wait 1 min for cap to regen to be able to warp anywhere :)

no overheat used on missiles or XL ASB

Hams perform poorly . HML lack the ability to take down the Ashimmu , ending in stalemate where you die a loooong slow death
