Legion can be fit to make a zealot with more dps and hp plus interdiction nullifier and have the same engagement range. Like all other races it can also be made into the sniper command ship from this basic design.
Just like the Loki can do the muninn and the Tengu can do the cerberus.
The Proteus does a variety of other roles better than it's hac counterparts, such as better deimos, cloaky gank deimos etc.
The legion also does the PVE thing quite well.
Other than the SNAC setup and the PVE setup, the legion doesn't have any role that is better than it's T2 command ships and cruisers.
This can be attributed, to the fact that Amarr tech 2 ships are incredible balanced and powerful. It possibly needs a small tweak, as does the Loki to some extent. The Gallente and Caldari T3 ships are perfectly balanced as they are.
It does not need too much tweaking though. It's more an issue that it lacks DPS when heavily tanked. Unlike the other 3 T3 which can fit a 100k ehp tank with over 450dps.

Wow, +1 for a 100km sniper boat with 12+ second missile travel time. . . I'm sorry but there is a reason that the zealot is widely considered the #1 HAC for 100km sniping and not the Cerberus.
Additionally, please tell me you don't actually use tech two missiles and you were just using them for comparison sake, if not, I think we're done here.
Zealot is considered #1 sniper hac because 99% of the players here cant understand how to fly cerberus properly - dont worry, you are in those 99%. And yes i used fury missiles, they have 170km range and 10km/s velocity. Well enough for 100+km sniping and they hit LSE hacs quite ok. So if you WOULDNT use fury missiles it means you have literally no clue how missile system works, how cerberus works and how to use it. So you should be last person making ANY comments about cerb or its comparison to gun snipers. Thank you.
Anyone with half a brain is not denying the Cerb is a good sniper ship. But despite it's excellent range and dps, it falls second to the muninn and zealot because those ships will hit a target say two or 3 times before a long range cerb will have hit it once.
And you are right, Fury is awesome.
As someone who flies the cerb I appreciate what it does. But I know that a Muninn or Zealot is superior, only because they do decent DPS/Volley damage and they hit instantly.

SNAC legion is still better than the zealot, regardless of cost.
Sometimes it's fun to fly ships that are different.
But it's the only setup for PVP that actually outdoes it's counterparts.

sniper legion.
nuff said. End of argument
anyone who doesn't recognize the slight increase in sniper dmg from the zealot, and the massive increase in buffer, and the medium increase in sniper range as a hugely good thing, is playing the wrong game.
This. It is better than the sniper zealot. We aren't really talking about costs to be honest. Improvement is improvement. And not only that, you can make that sniper legion bubble immune.
