I have been thinking of using the rook for roaming cruiser gangs. And came up with this:
[Rook, Roaming] Type-D Power Core Modification: Reaction Control Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II
10MN MicroWarpdrive II Warp Disruptor II Large Shield Extender II Invulnerability Field II 'Hypnos' Multispectral ECM I 'Hypnos' Multispectral ECM I 'Hypnos' Multispectral ECM I
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile
Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer I
Warrior I x5
DPS: 298 EHP: 20K Speed: 1100 m/s
And I think it should be able to jam anything cruiser sized and below.
Any thoughts? Anyone else using a rook? And what do you think?

What is your jam strength?
Personally I'd be inclined to bring SDAs in lows because that isn't great DPS from the missiles. If you want a primarily missile boat you could do it better and cheaper imo.
I know it's now allegedly an "ECM" brawler but still.

I think the OP wants a solo roaming Rook. 7 mids and no point would be such a waste :)
Anyhow, I'd use at least 1x SDA to make sure the ECm worked for sure.

SDA's arent much good any more as they're range/strength split now, i know the OP is talking about gangs but if you want a solo rook you're much better off not splitting your tank shield/ecm and going pure ecm - ie drop the invuln for a 4th ecm and use all multis. Also worth dropping the explosive rig for a ecm strength rig. If you have recon 5 you might get away with 3 jammers in which case i'd lose the invuln for a web as its great for taking out a drone ships dps quickly - one of the only things that can give you issues. |

Thing is I'm in fw so 90% of the time we are fighting ships that are smaller then a BC. So I figure the 3 Multi's would help but dropping the point for another one is an idea.
Also it seems that the enemies don;t always call primary so I will be taking damage at some point in the fight. And like the little extra survivability that the extender and invul give.

i guess but if the enemies are good you will pretty much always be primary!

Forget the ECM and you can get more tank and more DPS than a Cerberus. The only thing you don't have is the extra range, but you need to be relatively close to scram and use the drones (the bit that puts your DPS above a Cerb's).

I'd drop the Damage Control (60% resists on 1000 structure is meh) and throw on a ballistic control.
I also use my Rook for small gang combat so I prefer multispecs and doubling up on ships (usually there's more than 1 racial opponent anyways).
1 Signal Distortion Amp II 2x Ballistic Control II
10MN MWD II LSE (Best named or T2 depending on skills) Invul II 4x Hypnos Multispecs (3 if you solo and want a point)
5x HML II
5x Warrior II
2x Signal Dispersion Augmentor (I don't bother with range rigs anymore - two augmenters and a SDA is pretty good).
I'm toying with an AB fit with HAM's - but it would require someone else to provide a warp in.

Don't take a rook into a gang imo. You're going to be primary every time and destroyed.

It's primary for a reason. By your logic, everyone should always fly Ibisesii.  What you probably mean is "Don't take a Rook into the wrong sort of gang".

That's quite a leap. There are a few ships between rooks and ibis on the primary scale. And by few I mean every ship in the game except for scorps, falcons, and t3. The only right sort of gang I can think of to take a rook into would be a gang of rooks. Anywhere else you'd be more useful in a falcon.

Actually, the only time I'd take a Falcon over a Rook would be when I was scout. Ok, that's quite often, but it illustrates the point.

good fit but get tech 2 warriors, maybe drop the disruptor for another multi, a tech 2 pds for good measure, and change the exp shield rig for a core defense field extender or a jamming rig

Ofcourse HM rook is really viable also but there aint much situations when you can sit @ 100 km and spam missiles. Cerberus is 10 times better for this job, you wont be jamming anyone from 100km anyway. ----------------------------------------------- Limit cloaks to cloaking ships!

In theory thats a good fit - but sometimes you want some buffer to deal with drones, late arriving snipers/stealth bombers, or gate guns in low sec (1 LSE II gives enough of a comfort zone to allow you to jam and get out, or warp off from jumping.
