Eh, I've never hated Caldari ECM. I just think that damps had a slight edge for a while... and I really love the Vexor. So I trained Gallente Cruiser 5, and got an Arazu.
The problem is that the Arazu/Lach is going to be better off fitting unbonused ECM than bonused+rigged damps. It just accelerated when I was planning on getting a Falcon.

Thats absolutely not TRUE! It seems the damps to be nerfed too, but u still forget this are not chance based. If u miss a cycle with ecm u toast. But if u use your arazu wise, than can effectively disable any ship from the fight. The only thing is made by this change that not every ship would have a EW module on, better they would go in a gang and use the dedicated ships, and the arazu would not be more a soloship. Thats all
Actually, it is. After the nerf an arazu will be better off fitting ecm since they will at least have something like a 25% chance to work, and at close or far range. You forget that damps also have a chance to fail when outside their short optimal range, and do NOTHING when you don't damp the target enough to break their lock.

Only difference now is that your locktime will ONLY be halved and your lock range will be 5km instead of now 4km.
More like the difference will be NO effect on your lock time, and your lock range will be 20km instead of 15.
Originally by: DrAtomic Ther discussion is pretty simple really, current changes to EW accross the board mean that ECM will be back where it was before the balance of it. You'll start to see it on all kind of ships again with other forms of EW totally being ignored.
Welcome back to the blaster/ew DOMI and stuff like that...
The EW changes need to be rebalanced before they go live making sure racial EW is preferred over fitting non-racial EW on your ships.
The hell it will. ECM is not being boosted, just the ships bonus. That means a domi will still not be able to jam a thing, even with a few racials.

Unfortunately, of them all, I've found the Keres to be the least useful. Why? Because the Ares can do everything it can do but damp, and do it better (both get 30km peak warp disruptor range).
All of the other frigs don't have a frig-anologue that can compete with it.
While this is true, I am still not entirely sure I'd rather have an Ares. The Ares has **** poor lock range, and while it can speed tank, the Keres can actually run a repper and has assault resists. Heck, you could run double reppers with a cap booster or two.
