Amarr WH ships

o7-

I'm returning from a 15 month break from eve and looking for some advice on amarr ships. I am currently trained to fly gallente and caldari (to an extent). With the upcoming missile nerf, I decided why not cross train over to amarr- I've always wanted to fly an archon

Anyways, I know nothing about amarr ships and fittings. My end goal is an archon in WH space running c5/6s. My drone skills are quite solid. In the meantime, what are some solid BS fits for amarr in WH space? Both fleet fits and solo shots. From poking about it seems like the harbinger is also a good choice for WH ops.

My corp shares have left me with a bit of cash on hand, but I'm quite rusty and don't have a lot of WH experience. So toss some pimped fits up and ill downgrade em ^^ (don't fly what you can't afford to lose, eh?). I'm aiming for a 500-600 mil fit, including hull. A little cheaper would be nice too, and then maybe suggested upgrades to pimp it out down the road

Little eve-lets, I implore you to help me and my now noob ish self

Ps: any general WH running tips are also helpful. Hopefully will be living out of a POS within a month

The harb is going to be useful up to C2s as with all of the BC ships. From there you probably have to go either T3 cruiser or friends. Just join a noob friendly corp a fly what they fly, it's going to save you a lot of isk learning from your mistakes.

Edit: Jumping in a carrier without previous WH pve and pvp knowledge will be a very fast way to lose the carrier. Really, I mean it, don't even think about those at this point.

1 your drone skills don't matter in a carrier, If you are in an archon you will be providing logistics to who ever you are flying with NOT DPS you have dreads for that or the ships you are going to be keeping alive.
2. 500-600m for a wormhole fit will not get you higher then a c3, your best bet would be join an active wormhole alliance or corporation willing to accept new members and just work it up from there.




Anyhow if you could be more specific about what class I could help you out further.

@sword- long term goal, 6 months down the road at a minimum. Just because I have the isk to lose doesn't mean I want to lose it haha ;)

@lanyaie- ill be flying amarr long before a carrier. Figure it gives a nice class of ships for armor tanking, insta pop, and drones- 2 of 3 things I'm decently spec'd as currently. The 500-600 mil is just so I don't lose everything in one go. I've got a few billion isk to play around with, but I'd like to minimize losses early on. Figure pimped out 2 billion tengu or Loki isn't the way to start my WH adventures. Even with an RR gang, 500 mil too low to aim for a decent fit?

Edit: I believe c4 WH is where I'll be mostly until the future. Maybe c3

with a RR gang that would be enough hell you can fit out a harby for less then 150m and still solo sites in c3's and below with it

Any suggested fits for c3 sites? Either in harby or BS?

I'm doubtful a Harby could cope with C3 sites without needing a lot of warp outs.

A legion will do fine though.

You can try an armageddon or apocalypse I wouldn't recommend the abby tho I just dont like it


Edit: Tbh a battleship isn't that good for wh c3's either since it suffers from a lot of tracking stuff + active tanks on most of them are quite hard to maintain with your budget

If you want to get your start in C3s and move up to an Archon, learn to Guardian and make some friends. You won't be going solo in a C5 or C6, so don't wait until then to be less lonely. The Guardian will stand you in good stead for both PvE and PvP as a start, and you should lrn2logi before you sit in an Archon anyway.

Try a Sac for a C3, Dual rep it and and throw an AB on it and it works wonders soloing a site

I think he wants to avoid using heavy missiles just like i am. I would also like a few tips (possibly fits) on how to fit an Amarr (maybe Gallente) ship to do c3 sites either solo or with another mate. I did ask my corp and they only have experience flying tengu/drake so they couldn't really give me an advice.

I guess he did that before the neut fix? I have a hard time believing that he did it painless recently, hell tripple upholder BS must have hurt even pre neuts.

No, we are living in a C3 right now. And I specifically said the 4 Anoms. (Fortification Frontier Stronghold, Outpost Frontier Stronghold, Solar Cell, Oruze).

The only triple upholder spawn is a Mag site. And nobody generally solo's that. Even when I dual box Tengu's on it I have to warp out until I knock down one upholder.

I'm sorry, read it all wrong and for some reason I read it as c4 anoms. THe C3 anomalies should be no trouble.

best tip i can give you

find a corp or alliance that have experience and learn. wh's arent made to be done solo. sure they can, but you miss out on the best of the game.

and its not really efficient either

Sacrilege is a HAM boat, it doesn't have direct bonuses for heavy missiles anyways. AFAIK they won't be touched anytime soon.

Disclaimer: past this line everything in this post is EFT warrioring, Battleclinic w@#$ing and random noob babble, you have been warned.

Accordingly to EFT, dualrep Sac sustains like 400 tank and 300 DPS with adequate skills and before bling, not sure if it's enough (speaking on flying dualreps, it's recommended to activate second one when first repper is mid-cycle to have more steady tank).

If you want non-missile ship though, another option some people believe is good is Zealot with following fit. Needless to say that I haven't tried it myself because :noob:

Does like 300 tank and from 300 DPS (Scorch) to 350+ (IN MF) to 400+ (Conflag, can be actually used against BSs).

Sac seems to have similar performance with much less bling (well... probably it applies/does less DPS, not much you can do about it within this particular setup while staying within reasonable budget), and you'll probably have to train for it less (you may have HAM skills from your Caldari background), so maybe you'd better indeed start there. Oh, and it has utility slot for probe launcher, just in case. Its downside is that you'll probably need to buy/ferry a lot of faction HAMs.

Its fit is pretty similar:

But really, I'd support recommendations to join existing WH corp and accumulate their experience as much as you can.

P.S. Feel free to call me out on those setups, I'd really like to know if that won't work and why. While approved by random people out there, it doesn't really mean that it's optimal or something. For example, Legion setups suggested for cleaning C3 sites generally have much better stats...

my WH experience was brief (intend on going back but the corp i was in at the time folded), but both the Zealot and the Legion were the ships I flew in there on C3's. Did great with them.

There is a special Hell for people like that, Right next to child molestors, and people that talk in the theater. ~Firefly

Sacrilege uses HAMs not HMLs and as far as i know those wont be nerfed.
It has very decent DPS and its considerably cheaper than Legion. Definitely a good choice for C3 and below
