Skill Discussions

Personal choice really, they're both equally effective when fit and flown properly. I live in WH space and have used both. How are your skills?

Paladin is slightly more SP heavy as it benefits more from good capacitor and armor compensations skills, I also found it easier to haul ammo for the Paladin. For null sec you might want a Vargur since you can select damage type vs the rats, but for sleepers they're omni tanked so it doesn't make a difference.

I vote Vargur.

Paladin might be better in w-space where spawn range + webs can be an issue.

I dislike fitting long-range weapons on Marauders; they're more suited to brawling.

For Anoms the Vargur for WHs the Paladin.

In K space the ability to switch damage types is very important to hit resist holes.

Once you hit WH space its becomes irrelevant and the better DPS projection or tracking (Pulse has way better projection that Autos and Arties are useless for killing cruisers orbiting at 15km. ) becomes more important.

I have flow with people in Vargurs and they are way slower than Paladins for C4 and C5 sites, not sure about C3s or below but i'm assuming the same would apply for C2-3 and a T3 would be better than both for C1.
