What I meant was the nid would be better due to it armor tanking was because armor tanking it you would be putting resists in its armor where as in a chim the resists would be in shields the armor rr would be nearly useless |

Although not as useful, it'll still help. |

I see the Nidhoggur as a better overall choice if you are going to do large fleet fights:
The main advantage the Chimera has over the Nidhoggur (better resists, leading to a better local tank and improved ability to survive while being RRed as it's effectively taking less damage from each hit) are largely nullified in big engagements by 2 factors:
1. A large majority of the fleet will be mounting remote armor reps, which means that most of the RR would be going to your unresisted armor(after your shields are down) rather than resisted shields, which might very well yield less DPS tanked than a Nidhoggur in a similar situation.
2. This refers to shield vs. armor tanking in RR gangs in general. Assuming you broadcast for reps as soon as your shield takes damage, by the time your RR buddies catch up, a good portion of it would be already down. For an armor tanker, that is no problem, as the RR can now work directly on their resisted armor. For a shield tanker however, that's a good chunk of their buffer gone already before the RR can take effect.
Also you might want to consider the whole line of caps and BS you'll be getting access to. Neither the Minmatar or the Caldari BS and Dread are too great for fleet work IMHO (except maybe the Rokh for sniping) but the Minmatar has a slight edge here (especially regarding the Naglfar vs. Phoenix).

My advise is to go for the nidhoggur.
The chimera has better resistances etc which is very true but the nidhoggur is more versatile.
Im flying chimeras for 3+ years and where i find it lacking is in small skirmishes as i would prefer an armor rep, or rather both then just having shield reps.
In a small skirmish remote repping is king which is what the nidhoggur excells at, with easily being able to fit 2 armor one shieldreps, a hvy neut and a smartbomb.
Also if you some day decide to go for a mothership, the hel can put on both armor and shieldtank, but the armor mods wont cost you another 10b.
On a sidenote, with my main being specced in caldari i can honestly say, spec in minm as even tho eft says you have less dps etc theyre so much more fun to fly. |
