The main advantage about the dominix is one of the best "cost effective" BS, don't pimp it !
Don't be also fooled by high dmg EFT fit... (yes 1k+ dps up until 50km is very easy to achieve) 350/425mm start to suffer from tracking issue under 35-40km and that's where you Garde II hit the most.
The dominix is good because it can tailor 500-600 DPS at all range against "all" target and that's why he's great. (with perfect skill, you can expect 800+ DPS at 40-45km which is "great")
Under 10-15km or if you need to move, it shoots all size of ship with Heavy drone *5 if T2, or *4 with a flight of 5 light drone if T1 (garde hit at 5k+ against cruiser size and 12km+ against frig size with 2 omni... but without web ou TP, DPS isn't optimal) => no cap/ammo used which is good, that's where you need the most tank to survive. From 10-15km to 40km, Garde II will do the job with progressive increase in dmg from yours guns Above 40km, you'll need to switch to dmg specific long range sentry (warden/bouncer/curator), thus producing less DPS... but that's where your railguns are for, keeping an average good DPS up until drone control range.
500-600 DPS don't seems impressive... but you won't do anything more from CNR even with TP fitted on cruise size or smaller (which is about 60% of the ship encountered in L4...), especially with a cheap T2 fitting.
The standard fitting found seems to be:
Quote: [Dominix, PvE AT 5xgun] Large Armor Repairer II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link I Omnidirectional Tracking Link I Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
350mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge L Drone Link Augmentor I
Large Sentry Damage Augmentor I Large Sentry Damage Augmentor I [empty rig slot]
Garde II x5 Warden II x5 Wasp II x5
200-300+ cap stable tank to allow more time to kill support (BC size and smaller) and 450+ DPS for a few minute to fight the heavy hitter (can switch the 2 MFS for better tank/cap stability) Without PDU or powergrid implant, you'll need AWU V to fit that without gimping something but that's finally the cheapest PvE goal you could achieve.
If you really want an upgrade beside dominix, then you should look toward the maelstrom (AC fitting against angel/serpentis/drone/mercenary, artillery against sansha/gurista) which is sure more that twice the price tag fully fitted, but it will be very worth it on the way to the machariel. |
