Cat o'Ninetails Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:03:00 - [1] Hi cat here I was wondering what people think is the best damage type? Generally, I mean. visit my blog for my adventures
gfldex Kabelkopp	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:04:00 - [2] The one that's killing the enemy the fastest.
ChickenOfDoom	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:06:00 - [3] EM. If someone is shield tanking, they're likely going to try to balance everything, so its the same as the other damage types. If they're armor tanking, same thing, but you also get to eat through their shields faster.
Cat o'Ninetails Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:06:00 - [4] Originally by: gfldex The one that's killing the enemy the fastest. ok... to rephrase: Which (EM/EXP/KIN/THERM) would you pack in your ship if you could only carry one? visit my blog for my adventures
Shatner19	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:13:00 - [5] i say thermic. second lowest resist on shields and average resist on most ships.

The one that I expect to be the lowest resi of the target. Or if there are many targets, the one that fits the lowest resi on average.
Rilwar BlackStar Industrial	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:13:00 - [7] Edited by: Rilwar on 21/05/2009 23:13:03 This is a ~~loaded~~ troll question. Since anything other than missiles is range dependent, and only missiles allow you to do what your question asks, you're not able to properly utilize damage types to capitalize on resistance weaknesses. Also because 90% of missile boats have bonii to their races' damage type, this question is dumb too. \o/ Mitnal was here.
Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Laconian Syndicate	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:14:00 - [8] THM/KIN --- Grez: I shot the sheriff Kalazar: But I could not lock the Deputy BECAUSE OF FALCON
Amael Galenus Mighty Moshin Emo Rangers	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:17:00 - [9] Thermal followed by kinetic... hits low resists in both shield & armour & people usually only get around to strengthening only one of those after fixing their primary EM/EXP weaknesses
E Vile	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:38:00 - [10] Originally by: Amael Galenus Edited by: Amael Galenus on 21/05/2009 23:17:24 Edit: Wot he said ^ Thermal followed by kinetic... hits low resists in both shield & armour & people usually only get around to strengthening just one of those after fixing their primary EM/EXP weaknesses Thermal is one of Caldari T2/T3 best resist

Grez Minmatar Core Contingency Laconian Syndicate	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:40:00 - [11] Originally by: E Vile Thermal is one of Caldari T2/T3 best resist Originally by: E Vile Thermal Caldari Originally by: E Vile Caldari Caldari don't PVP. --- Grez: I shot the sheriff Kalazar: But I could not lock the Deputy BECAUSE OF FALCON
Sniper Wolf18 Gallente A Pretty Pony Princess General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:40:00 - [12] EM - Because most armor resist tankers overdo it with kin/therm/exp and forget to fill their EM hole and shield tankers will usually have a slightly lower em total resist Close second = thermal And to finish, thank you for reading my sig -------------------------------------------------- If you are still reading i would probably hav posted by now
wowtard	Posted - 2009.05.21 23:43:00 - [13] I do the most potent damage with vile and penetrating smacktalk.

Maverick 52 Fusion Enterprises Ltd Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2009.05.22 00:08:00 - [16] Well as always is the case in Eve, it depends on your situation. A lot of the pirates fit active tanks for ganking under sentry fire, and let's face it, they're going to armor tank. In this case they'll likely fit 1x therm, 1x kin, and 1x exp with a DCII minimum. For that situation I'd say EM is likely the best damage to do as you'll melt their shields (if sentries haven't already) and you'll encounter the lowest, or second lowest armor resist. For passive armor tankers they're going to fit EANM's and a DCII. Exp should be the weakest armor resist, but will also be the highest shield. So if you're facing BC and smaller I'd say use Exp because chewing through a little untanked shield won't be a big deal once you start wrecking their armor. Otherwise Therm/Kin if it's BS and above because they have a decent amount of shield HP's even untanked. When T2 comes into the factor you're really just screwed on having a "Best overall".

Speed and damage.

I've found that the pirates that lock you damn quickly are armour tankers, as they have room for the sensor boosters. But then they have no room for cap, so they either need three people sharing agro, or they have to have enough tank to last the sentries after a gank which will often leave little cap. Drakes can tank forever almost, but they can't lock anything within any useful timeframe. This is the reason that I basically throw away t1 Valks whilst camping a station. - cat visit my blog for my adventures

Obviously they don't last forever, but any sane pirate will permatank their ship to sentries at the very least. It's not difficult to cap stable a armor tanker with decent skills and a couple cap rechargers (which they have room to fit). They don't have to be cap stable with guns firing though, since usually the target is dead within a minute or two.
DigitalCommunist November Corporation	Posted - 2009.05.22 03:22:00 - [20] Modding is the best damage type. Its the only one that works on career attention *****s.

ThaDollaGenerale The Illuminati. Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.05.22 03:40:00 - [21] EM. I enjoy shooting at a zealot from 150k away with my cerb and CN Thunderbolts. First shot takes him from 100% to 0% shield, second is usually 80% armor. EM holes on armor are hilarious
Edd Duck	Posted - 2009.05.22 04:44:00 - [22] Best damage type? A cold hard slap on the arse.
Akkarin Pagan Minmatar Raddick Explorations Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2009.05.22 05:46:00 - [23] Depends on what I'm flying. In Minmater short range setup, EMP (EM / Kin / Exp), at any other range it's going to be Exp / Kin. If I'm flying Gallente I'm pretty much stuck doing Kin / Therm, and Amarr EM / Therm. I have to admit that the damage spread on EMP ammo does make it great for tearing ships up. Akkarin I don't mean to sound bitter and twisted, but I am, so that's how it comes out. <3 - Immy
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2009.05.22 05:59:00 - [24] It doesn't matter, just bring jammers and stop wondering what's the best damage typ,e the enemy is going down anyway ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Mister Xerox	Posted - 2009.05.22 06:01:00 - [25] Originally by: Concorduck It doesn't matter, just bring jammers and stop wondering what's the best damage typ,e the enemy is going down anyway ... Until his Drones/FoF cruise catch up with you. Overall, Thermal is the most averaged across both shield and armor and as such recieves the least bonuses from resistance mods.
Opertone Caldari Internal Anarchy	Posted - 2009.05.22 06:33:00 - [26] worst damage type is Kinetic, second worst is thermal best damage type is explosive, second best is em minimatar ammunition, such EMP S and fusion S are great.
Drae Fokker Caldari Dark Nebula Academy	Posted - 2009.05.22 06:58:00 - [27] The best damage type is heart.
Cat o'Ninetails Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2009.05.22 07:06:00 - [28] Originally by: Drae Fokker The best damage type is heart. i always wondered what the point of that was in captain planet lol visit my blog for my adventures
Nooma K'Larr Minmatar	Posted - 2009.05.22 08:32:00 - [29] I prefer the sucker-punch myself.
Bistot Kid The First Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2009.05.22 08:48:00 - [30] I like UM. Kinda like EM, but I'm not sure. -------------------- What? Me Worry? --------------------
