Was discussing this with someone and it seems we disagree with whether a shield buffer tanked curse with 2 missiles was viable as compared to an armor buffered.
My question is which one do you prefer? Shield has to be used quite a lot.
My vote: shield curse (youtube) (not my video!)

Spell checked and grammar checked for your pleasure.
The answer would be: Yes, shield buffer tanked curses are viable.

No amount of unbonused, pathetic missile DPS is worth ****ing away two incredibly powerful neut bonuses. Do the e-war thing, leave the DPS number chasing to other people.
From there, nano shield buffer fits work well and plan great into roving gangs.

The sexiness of the midslot bonuses present on a curse makes me prefer the limited armor tank of a DCU, dual enam and 800 plate.
Putting mwd, cap booster, point, dual TD and Sensor booster makes for a wicked level of diversity followed with 3 med neuts and 2 small deadspace NOS for added win. I know the manouverability of this ship is important but the sacrafice of useful ewar for dual LSE makes me sad.
+1 vote to armor tanking from me

Nano/shield with 4 medium neuts for me. Armor tanking is viable in limited cases but I consider it generally inferior. Missiles are inexcusable, there is no situation in which you should even consider fitting them.

Shield, because it makes for a fast Curse. Armor tanked makes it slow and more vulnerable. You have the range on your neuts and drones, make USE of it.

Shield for solo. Armour in gang especially with logi support (which are usually armor but not always).
I miss my Damp Curse :-)

NEVER armor tank a curse, and don't waste highslots on missile launchers. you get what, 100dps out of it? if that. and that's with three launchers. two is just a failure.
the curse is somewhat like the vaga; you keep your distance and make sure the enemy doesn't get close. armor tank makes you slow so an enemy can catch you easily. the curse also doesn't have nearly enough grid to make an effective armor tank along with a mwd, cap booster, med neut/nos, etc.
shield tanks are much much better because you can fit two LSE's on a curse (if you want to go heavy tank) or just run one lse with an invuln. then you still have room for a couple neuts and TD's
if you want to armor tank something, use a pilgrim.

Stupid Comment.
You can either as a vague guide:-
[Curse, PVP - Standard]
Damage Control II
Capacitor Power Relay II
Capacitor Power Relay II
Capacitor Power Relay II
10MN MicroWarpdrive II
Republic Fleet Warp Disruptor
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Balmer Series Tracking Disruptor I
XR-3200 Heavy Missile Bay, Thunderbolt Heavy Missile
XR-3200 Heavy Missile Bay, Thunderbolt Heavy Missile
Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I
Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Hammerhead II x5
Hammerhead II x5
Warrior II x10
Or roughly
[Curse, PVP - Full Neuts]
Damage Control II
Capacitor Power Relay II
Capacitor Power Relay II
Capacitor Power Relay II
10MN MicroWarpdrive II
Republic Fleet Warp Disruptor
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Balmer Series Tracking Disruptor I
[empty high slot]- Whatever
Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I
Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I
Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Hammerhead II x5
Hammerhead II x5

Or any basic variation on these setups, dropping the tracking disruptors, nano'ing them etc.
But yes, Missile Curse works in combination with neuts. Just as the Laser Pilgrim is a fun alternative to a normal neut pilgrim.
