hello, i am interested in getting into high class wh, and would like to know your opinions on what is the best dread for WH's. I will be using the dread for escalations and maybe occasionally pvp/pos bash.
i am considering either moros or nag, however i also think the rev may be good. the phoenix is not an option for me.

Tracking focus fitted Naglfar....
Not the DPS does count, it is the real damage projection that finally kills your escalation BSs...

next adavantage... your weapons do not need cap... cap can be rare, if 8 escalation BS are energy neutralizing you.

subcap blappin nag wins
pve moros wins
cap vs cap phoenix wins
all around nag is probably the best, moros is absolute king for pve though.

just avoid the rev and phoenix, phoenix is all right to have if you already have a money making dread or you don't play to make money with dread.

Any of the gun dreads will work well, and they each have their things that they are "best" at. The Phoenix is pretty good at blapping capitals and POSes, but not so good at subcapitals, except when it is good.

Hope that helped :D

All the gun dreads work. pick what you want to fly the most and you'll still be accepted because you can at least fly a dread of some description.

What wh effects are in play may also influence your choice.

Pheonix in an armor wh is not the best cap vs cap ship
chimera or archon may actually be the best dread in a cataclysmic if you get a couple of them

Anyway, high end (c5/c6) that are bonused have a significant effect on ship and fitting choices. FIgure out where you are going to live.

In that particular wh I know some guys that just drop a bunch of non triage carriers and kill the sleepers w/ senty drones. The dreads warp in and out just to escallate the site. The tactic is more about gank survivability and leveraging the wh bonus.
