As stated in title, I want to know the pros and cons of using a Legion for PvE ( missions, WH, etc.)

I know many of you would tell me to get a Tengu instead, but I am interested only on the Legion's range of capabilities in PvE.

So what do you guys think, is the Legion an effective isk grinder?

Well, you could make money from the Legion...by selling it and then getting a Tengu :)

Tengu is probably the best, but the Legion is fine for PVE.

Look up RiotRick's fitting for wormholes. Think he was soloing C3/C4s in his Legion, so it can't be bad..

How is the isk/hour return of C3 compared to running l4 missions?

C3 solo is one of the fastest isk returns for pve i find , I used to run them in a legion when i neded some cash .

You will need the cap sub and corelum reppers as the sleepers nuet about 60-70% stable should see you fine.

I was in a C3 magnetar though ... find yourself one of them

How has nobody mentioned Incursion Vanguards yet? Legions utterly dominate there, and it's extremely profitable.

Of course, with Incursions being utterly pwned right now, it may not be the smartest idea Lol

exploration Legion
explores, shoots, cloaks, salvages, hacks, analyzes and tanks with one fit
while not being very good in the shooting and tanking department fitted this way, you surely have another character on standby for these tasks

In the PVE Standpoint, playing a few hours a night on mostly L4 missions and light Sig Scanning in the systems I frequenting, I was avearging about 300M/week on Salvaging / Bounties / Bonuses alone.

I was also missioning out of Gallente Space, making a few of the missions (Angels specifically, some Guristas) a complete headache with their resists (I eventually went HAM Legion just for those specifically), but only slowed me down a little. If youre somewhere that you don't have to worry much about such things, then more the power to you.

C3 WHs are the best money, though, but of course are an entirely different ballgame. You're never as alone as you think you are. Blink

Incursions

Every other PvE, you got it. There are better options.

Solo? Probably not that much.

In Incursions on the other hand...the Locus Legion shines brightly for a reason. :) (Hint: look at the bonus on a T2 Energy Locus Coordinator rig, then look at its pricetag, then look at the optimal bonus on Tobias' Modified Tracking Enhancer, then look at the TE's pricetag.)
