What's a good setup for an Abaddon to perma (or near perma) tank sentry guns......possibly with fire coming from another target ship?
I was thinking of 2/3 160mmT2 Plates, 2/3 EANMII and 2 LAR II, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Very few ships if any at all can perma tank sentry fire solo as well as another ship, even sentry guns alone would force you to use buckets of can to run your repper/reppers let alone being in combat and needing to fire guns and use mods for tackle....and god forbid a mwd.
Your screwed if you wanna do that solo get some buddies.

Question is simply - for how long?
Consider 2 LAR's and an eanm on an abaddon the sentry gun tank. The rest is what you can use on other ships, in your case 2 plates and 2 EANM's. As always it's a game of rock, paper scissors - if you encounter a long long stream of frigates reppers will be the best, if you encounter a quick burst of huge dps by destroyers or other blobs - plates will be way better. Parrots, commence!

Destroyers don't bring huge dps, however, another BS will and your proposed setup will be executed by any decent pvp BS. If you are trying to permatank the sentries then you are doing it wrong (unless in a smartbomber). The correct method is to have a cloaked scout on the other side of the gate watching for incoming targets and then warping to the gate from a safe spot moments before they jump into system. Obviously for this to work your SS must be near the gate, I recommend around 3000km and you should be warp aligned at full speed.
Also, solo gatecamping in a BS is kinda fail, lock speed is really bad and you are terribly vulnerable to small ships since your drones will instapop under sentry fire. Not saying you can't catch anything, it's just not terribly practical. -----------------------------------------------------

Point of the destroyer blob is that they dash out an immense amount of damage over a very short timespan. They die insanely quick, for a 300 dps ship and generally come in large gangs.
Any ship under sentryfire will of course be at a disadvantage to any similar ship. Parrots, commence!

Toss out enough rookie ships and you can 1 shot a titan, blobbing removes all skill from the game. Of course you will win if you throw 30 dessies at a BS. You would also win if you threw 30 rifters with meta 1 guns at it. It's not practical to do either however, you will lose far more isk than you could possibly get back in loot. It might be good for a laugh but it's not a sustainable way to go. It also requires you to have that many friends online and wanting to go blow something up. Getting that many kamikaze pilots together is tricky in my experience. -----------------------------------------------------
