She's right - an AB is completely pointless on this ship, it has 90% webs and is among the fastest handful of frigates in EVE. It **NEEDS** a MWD, and blasters are the smartest weapon system considering once you get within web range, you have absolute and complete control over your opponent's range.

I will never understand the people who fit an AB and no MWD onto a frigate. Not complaining though, they pose 0 threat and are easy kills.


I use a 1mn Afterburner, hull tanked Daredevil with a small ancillary armour repper (for just that little extra buffer). I use it as super tackle against anything using medium guns and up.

It's tiny signature radius, coupled with absolute zero speed loss (no armour plates) and amazing webs makes it a nightmare for a larger hull to deal with,

Sure another frigate will probably ruin it's day, but i'm not chasing 5mil frigate killmails. I'm chasing the elusive solo Proteus Killmail.

So it would appear, unless it's that there's no way a Daredevil could carry enough ammo to solo a competently fit and piloted Proteus?

In which case, I get that.

My point is that a MWD equipped ship just won't engage if it isn't a favorable fight, and a Proteus is not ideal for shooting frigates. That daredevil would spend a lot of time flying around feeling lonely before a small group countering it dropped by.

In a WH, and not arbitrary stuff like FW Complex mechanics, yes go mwd on it.
If you'd bring a mwd blaster DD to a fw site, i can see how it gets killed by a heron.

I would not suggest an oversized AB but saying an AB is pointless on a daredevil really shows you have a poor understanding of the lowsec frigate meta (which is where he is fighting). MWD/Blaster fits have their place (Mainly for running down Garmurs and the like) but they are pure suicide in the majority of the current meta as you have to fully commit yourself in a low ehp (all beit high dps) faction frigate and rarely will you get a pure 1v1 engagement.

Rail/AB and Rail/MWD Daredevils are favored as scram kiters and brawlers are quite common in the current meta. It allows you to kite them both with ease and disengage if the fight does not go your way when fighting outnumbered.

All this said a Comet Imo marginally under performs (more ehp though) a Daredevil in FW for 1/3 of the cost. The only time i would undock a daredevil is to hunt a linked Garmur or otherwise linked frigate requiring extreme speed and 90% web to catch.

Played around in a 'Fleet Devil' last night. Kind of an odd fit, but very effective in it's role as a webber for my regular roaming gang:

Highs: Neutron Blaster II
Mids: MWD, Medium Shield Extender, Web.
Lows: DCII, Mag Stab II, Micro Aux Power Core II, Nano II.

Rigs: 1x EM Shield II 2x Core Defense Field Extender II.

In my Genolution clone with skirmish links, it was rocking well north of 8k EHP and cracked along at over 6k/s cold. Twisted

been fiddling some more, found a nice Small Gang Tackle fit that seems to be working rather well for me.

Highs: 2x 150mm Railgun II
Mids: MWD, long point, Web.
Lows: Ancil Armour Repper, DC, Nano Plating. A Nano Membrane II can be fit in the last low slot for more tank, or a mag stab if you want moar deeps.

Rigs: 3x Small Transverse Bulkhead II.

Doesn't do a huge amount of damage, but once you grab a hold of someone, they aint going anywhere. Rails allow you to operate outside Scram range.

I'm also finding the advice earlier is 100% spot on: This is a hull that really benefits from just a little splash of bling in the right places (web! prop mod).

Do what switch said (1mn ab, long point, faction web, rails, saar + magstab and a dcu and whatever you want). but the dd is really really meh at the moment, comet is the strictly better ship all things considered (bar looks of course).

Get a ranis/cursader for the anti garmur or otherwise kitey stuff and get a comet for rail stuff.


If you want to pew with a good faction frigate sell your dd and buy a worm.
