For the most part, the best ship to solo C3 sites is a Rattlesnake. Yes there are other ways to do it but a passive snake gives you a whole lot of dps with a fat tank and neut resistance. Keep in mind that sleepers in the upper echelon C3 sites neut pretty damn hard. I think a proteus will suffer from lacking one aspect depending on how you fit it; lack of tank, lack of neut resistance.

I lived in a C3 solo for a few months and the Rattlesnake served me extremely well. Id say train into it if you really want to give C3 life a go.

If you have some isk to spare and invest you could buy skill injectors for the Rattlesnake. Me and a buddy may be doing a wh together and we'll probably be using rattles as well.

Also- Heres a relatively recent thread from reddit r.e. Proteii for C3s. I agree with the comments;

https://www.reddit.com/r/fittings/comments/45bt4z/c3_solo_proteus_fit/

Which drones should i drop first? Should i use heavy? Cause according to the EFT i can drop either one gecko or 2 warden/ogre
And what does SRP means, i don't know , sorry((

My corp also have c2 wh is a really huge amount of sites, can I do them on this proteus? Cause maybe it will be more usefull to farm on prot c2, waiting for the skills for c3? Or will try to make it do c3 :D
P.S. Also i have heavy drone operation V, and light only IV, can i use heavy drones in this fit?

You'll be fine in a C2 anomaly. A proteus is an expensive ship for a C2 so you should try to fit it as cheaply as possible. Something like a drake, gila, gnosis are typical ships for a C2. Concentrate on tank/cap the first few times you run the sites and move towards dps as you get comfortable.

Expensive... rattle price is more than 700 million, port price is 508...
Yeah I will train light drones they are too usefull as I saw :)
And no skills for Deimos but will take a look now, maybe it is not too long to learn them. So proteus is too expensive for c2 and good for c3. And another stupid question, can this proteus make c4? Yesterday we have had shattered c4 and I made few sites on my vni (fractured outpost)....

All things are relative, yes a Rattler is more than a Prot but a Deimos is like 200Mil fit so its cheaper than both by a long was. C2s don't pay that well so the ROI would be to low to justify using a bling ship. Also you have to take into account Skill loss with a T3, a Lvl5 Subskill is 256k SP, if you use Injectors to calculate the SP value you get between 300-1000Mil in value. Looking at it this way the Prot costs you way more per death.

Very few ships can handle C4s Solo. Rattlesnake is one and Marauders another, not sure if any other Subcaps can while skill being vaguely effective (even the Rattlesnake makes more in C3 due to having to gimp its fit for C4s). Shattered WHs often have a mix of sites not just from their class so you may have been running a non C4 site.

I used an unique set up. I would not recommend it for you current skill level but it could definitely be a goal for when you will have better sp and experience in C3.

It revolves on polarized guns and active boost for raw hp regen. Concept of this fit is to «burst» the anomalies and spend the least time possible on each. A c3 anom will often take less than 5 min to clear, although in general it takes between 5 and 6. 500 mil/hr is the average I'v make. That means for the same price of a marauder in a c5, you can make the same amount of money, if not more, doing c3 anom.

You warp in at 0 and start chewing trough the BS if there is any on first spawn, and take care about the trigger. You always kill BS first in the last wave. The smartbomb is for frigates and the NOS is to help a bit with capacitor. On paper, you don't tank the highest dps wave, but you kill BS' and cruisers so fast it remove most of npc's dps on the field before your tank break. I never had any problem although I had some "oh ****" moment when I wasn't paying attention. I keep bluepill and drop in cargo just in case.

I used a mid-grade crystal pod because I had one that was unused up to this point, but it's not necessary. If you use genos and/or CPU implant, you should be able to use a X-Type 100mn AB instead of the Mizuro one, but the Mizuro is only for CPU and is relatively cheap, (I paid like 340 mil for it). With 3% dmg and rf implants you can dish out 1670 dps (2700+ in a C3 magnetar). Speaking about effect, you almost don't care about most of them. Even in a wolf rayet, you are completely unafected since you have 0% resists anyway.

The fit is a bit loot pinata I know, but you never sit still more than 5 min in one spot, you are more mobile than a marauder in a c5, and you can pay off for the set up pretty fast if your intent is to farm seriously.

Also your girlfriend will tell you that you are elite in PVE and that's the only one important thing in EVE Online.

nomatter how you look at this, this fit is extremely overtanked. i suspect u can do just fine making a fit with more dmg. the Rattlesnake is a DPS beast with good skills - you can most likely take down the cruisers and frigs extremely fast if you fit for DPS, tanking the BS spawns should be durable fairly easy.

of course - if you plan on ez farming for days, just buy Golem/Vargur and ASB for days. - it's a higher isk investment tho, but whatever.
