Since you have drone skills, just get yourself a Rattlesnake and fit it for omni rez / full passive shld regen.
I have 1 fit for lvl 4s; never switch out hardeners because it's not necessary when you have all the skills maxed out.
You can aggro full rooms, drop sentry and go afk doing random **** around your house. Come back, scoop drones, complete mission.... |

I use Tengu or SNI personally. Fast frigates are a pain in the Tengu if I let them get in close (no drones), but otherwise no big deal. Tank for opponent, and no, I don't use cheat sites (like eve-survival). The mission description usually tells you what you need to know to tank.
If you do L4's with Domi, I can respect that. I wouldn't want to rely solely on drones for L4's... |

So I've been lurking in this thread because I am Minmatar and the only things I know about Hybrid guns is this:
Buff Hybrid Guns!!!!
Anyhow, I just remembered that I can actually fly a Domi if I want (Machariel pilot) so I went down to the local pawn shop (Amarr) and put one together with some spare parts(stripped a Thrasher for the guns), loaded it up with drones, and went on a level 4 mission which I was able to clear with the fit below (drones being mission specific).
[Dominix, USS Wolverine] Capacitor Flux Coil II Capacitor Flux Coil II Capacitor Flux Coil II Capacitor Flux Coil II Capacitor Flux Coil II Capacitor Flux Coil II Capacitor Flux Coil II
Invulnerability Field II Invulnerability Field II Invulnerability Field II 100MN Afterburner II X-Large Shield Booster II
Drone Link Augmentor I 200mm AutoCannon II, EMP S 200mm AutoCannon II, EMP S 200mm AutoCannon II, EMP S 200mm AutoCannon II, EMP S 200mm AutoCannon II, EMP S
Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Drone Control Range Augmentor I
Now, it took a while, (long while, I wrote this post and EFTed the fit while waiting for this AFKmobile to finish up) and my drone skills are 'meh' but it is possible (the fit is cap stable with my skills and EFT says it is a 414 defense) to do a level 4 drunk, drugged, and stoned with a Domi with little to no fear of dying,
I'd have to say this is a troll thread, and if my rust loving, horrid fit, combat clueless @$$ can make it work, anybody should be able to.

p,s, The ship name has a point in history should anybody be curious and google it. Why are my neocom icons so tiny? Oh, you can widen and narrow the bar. Cool.-á |

I can but I don't want to anymore. Hell, I used to train new players on mission running. But after several years of mission running it gets so old you just want to puke. I never bought into the whole outfit for each mission idea either. My raven had the exact same build and used the exact same cruise missiles for each and every mission. It's gear was standard T2 gear except for some faction launchers (and one T2 launcher) and it's drones were all T1's, and I never had to warp out. It's more about just keeping an eye on your shields, knowing who the triggers are, and watching for the pesky things like scramblers.
After a while the Raven got so boring I started buying all kinds of battleships just to see what I could do with each one. The Hyperion ended up being a fairly fun ship to run in and my Domi ended up being a support vessel for corp mates in their missions. |

I just pick up stuff while still fighting. Most level 4 mission battleships can be two and three volleyed, and even some of the cruisers can be one volleyed.... A trio of repub fleet target painters works wonders on the smaller ships. Though I do of course just send drones out at the frigs. I realise that the Golem can be very efficient at demolishing larger ships. However, most of your applied DPS will go to smaller ships (as there are simply more of them then battleships, generally speaking), so two points spring to mind: - You will lose a lot of effective DPS without at least two (but preferably three plus) target painters, which leads me to... - ...insane micromanagement. TP cycles are a bastard, and timing them with launcher firings is even more so. Worse, you very much have to count volleys if you are to reduce ammo/time wastage, and that couple with the tiny launcher capacity, means that you are flying what is effetively the worse marauder now ( did anyone think that would ever be said?!) Vargur is king, with the Paladin/Kronos a little bit behind, and those are only really second due to their fixed damage types. Yes, the Golem has selectable damage types but, for me, juggling all of this around to kill red crosses is just too insane.
Way back when I was running missions, I would use a faction fit rattler and passive tank any level 4. Was the best lazy bones ship I ever used. Before that I had a dual rep domi for everything else and a passive shield ishtar that could tank the therm and ken stuff stupidly easy as well as exp.
A golem is superior for picking damage type and torps with them bonused TP will 2 volly any rat battleship and one volly most smaller ships if your useing 2 TP at a decent level. My golem did about 1800 DPS OH and 1600 regular. Very close to 9000 a volly. It was funny how fast missions could be done in it.
I still make more isk in trade then in a mission. I gave up on grinding and trying to fix my sec status a LONG time ago. |

If you want to solo lvl 4's, pretty much any race's tier 2 or 3 BS class can solo it. In my Apocalypse, I could easily pull entire rooms and be fine for some of the mid-difficulty lvl 4 missions. However, I wouldn't recommend Amarr ships, since a problem arises with lasers only doing EM and thermal damage. It's slow as all hell to do a guristas mission with primarily EM and thermal damage.
Also, I have to mention that I would run like hell from missions. Find something else to do, unless you just REALLY like mindless grinding. |

In a Tengu, Bs rats are an exercise in grinding. Then you were doing something wrong. BS rats in a Tengu is an exercise in swift mass murder GÇö it's the frigates (and some quicker cruisers) that take time since you have to switch to more precise missiles. 20 minutes is not particularly unreal.
Maybe for a raven, but If I'm running a lvl 4 mission where I absolutely have to kill frigs/cruisers, I just shoot them with my lazors when they're heading towards me. It usually ends with a pop in one hit. When they're coming in from 70-80 km, I can usually cycle through enough of them so that they don't make much of a difference... |

As has already been said, faction Epic Arc missions are significantly tougher to tank solo than L4's. My nearly perfect Dominix pilot had trouble with a double LAR setup in Syndication, for example, when all those elite battleships rolled up close (might have been easier using faction/complex LARs, but eh, I keep forgetting to buy them on account of not running missions often anymore). I recently tried a "sniper Domi" for lolz, and it worked pretty well actually. Long-range sentry Domi and a few bookmarks in mission pockets, at warpable distances, i don't remember if there were any pockets where you couldn't warp on grid, don't think so... Sniper Domi = long range sentries, omnidirectional tracking links, drone link augmentors for moar sentry snipe control range and sebos for targeting range. This setup can start popping stuff at >150km, at which point the NPCs aren't even doing damage to you. By the time they get up close enough to start hurting, you will have already popped some of those elite battleships, and probably all the other small stuff for fun while BS's were out of range. Then, as they get up close, I warped to one of my bookmarks on grid and repeated the procedure. It's not the most efficient setup but it worked and was even kind of fun in a way since it was different than the usual Dominix tactics as one would use in, say, L4's. So, if you have good drone skills and have trouble with the tank at close range, this is an option if you don't have logistics or someone else to help out.
Don't be afraid of L4's! They are NOT the same as Epic Arc missions, seriously. Go do some and you'll see. Three reppers on a L4 Domi is completely unnecessary, even two is one too many (unless you want a really lazy mode setup, or it's a mission with lots of incoming damage, there's a few of those). The only really godawful DPS L4 in my experience is Smash The Supplier, an anti-Amarr mission. Moving at top (lol) speed, with relevant resists of about 90%, I had to warp out twice at least the one time I ran this mission to help someone who couldn't even begin tanking it. |

This has to be a troll. Who can't run L4's in a dual rep domi? Even a pilot with minimal skills and a T1 fit should be able to do it (slowly). |

Pshhh. Correct.
Heavy Drones alone (Mediums for the frigs, of course) can deal plenty of DPS too. I kinda agree that it may be a troll. If EvE WiS is Space Barbie, then I'm built like a Ken Doll:
