Scanned down Angel Provincial HQ last night, and entered with my usual combo of Tengu + Drake. Nearly lost both of them. Tengu is not pimped due to living out in 0.0 and the chance of losing it (and drake is standard cheap as chips t2 fit).
Went back in with a Damnation and Oneiros. It was painfully slow but I managed to finish it. It has escalated to Special Forces. Reading up, if I'm lucky, and it escalates I will need to use capitals (Oneiros pilot is a Thanny pilot with Triage trained), and I have a dread alt...so that's all gravy.
Situation: Tengu pilot is nearly 100% Amarr spec, Amarr bs V, T2 guns etc. The first two rooms have gates, so I can't use the capitals yet.
Problem: Angels have high EM resists.
Question: Do I just go in with a Abaddon, hope the high DPS it does is enough, or would I be better off using the Damnation again (and it's poor 350dps). Oneiros will be the loggi ship again keeping me alive.
Comments, suggestions? I know, I wish I had Scimi trained, then it would be gravy

Dunno with Angel Provincial Headquarters Escalation but .... For the Gurista Provinvial you only need a Capital for the latest Boss (Part Four) cause he tank 2500 dps. all other Escalation SItes are doable solo or duo. I did it last week with non probeable Tengu (tank) and non-probeable Manticore (Damage). Yes Manticore because for me the focus was damage and non-proable (just one ECCM Projektor on the Tengu and 2 ECCM Projector on the Manti) . And it works fine.

Edited by: tailboom3 on 26/02/2010 17:42:38 Special forces is doable with a golem and a cloaky ship. I have done them solo with my alt. They key is that after the first escalation point the warp in point puts you in the middle of 15+ bs multiple support and siege towers etc... To get around this. I make a safe spot in system, jump out of my golem, warp to the escalation in my pod, then use my alt cloaky ship to warp in at distance cloaked, being careful to chose a direction that is clear. Then warp back get my golem and warp in at safe 100+ from the rats, draw agro and start shooting. My alt usually flys a cov ops tengu, so I use that to take down any out of range web towers etc.. It takes a while but is doable. The only exception is that the last rat takes a quite a bit of dps to take down. Last time I had to ask a corpy to come with a bit extra dps as I was not able to break his tank. Golem with 1700+ dps tank should have no problem tanking these as long as you don't warp right into the middle of everything. Bring along some corp mates for extra dps to make things go faster.
Final rat drops x-type stuff.

Little update for anyone interested. Did the first stage in 'Special Forces' with a Absolution and Oneiros, and went ok. Then I got the second stage, and headed there with the Damnation and Oneiros.
Warped in, got aggro, then warped in the Oneiros. Things went bad. You pop the missile batteries they do a smartbomb attack and hit the Oneiros. Once the Oneiros went down I was up the proverbial creek without a rep, and the Damnation couldn't kill the scram frigs before I died. Fetched a cyno ship and a carrier and did the second stage with a Thanatos, and had to run both capital reps to keep it up. It was a little nasty.
Going to attempt the third stage a little later, but not messing about. Will drop a dread and carrier in and just try kill everything as quick as possible.

Is there any non capital duo that can digout 2500 dps per second. Anyone have an idea ?

No. That would break the server. |

I use a Golem for the first stages in the escalation. Then it's time to get the big stuff.
Get a dread and a carrier for the last stages.
Last time i got a gist x-type xl-shield booster from the boss
Good luck

Should be able to run the entire escalation with just a Proteus and a Deimos, including the final officer, if you know what you are doing. Ran the Guristas one with this and killed the officer with about 1200 dps.

Another boring update for those interested.
Ran the 3rd stage with a Thanny and Rev, got a frikken Domi Overdrive... Had the nerves going because the spot was in hostile space, but made good bounties.
4th and last stage we sent the Rev in, full tank and even some drugs for rep. Took out the station, then proceeded to just tank. Had the Thanny and Nid come in (and a bored corp mate in a stealth bomber). I've never seen something like it! Killed it all, and even salvaged the wrecks.
Dropped a Gist-X Photon and Explosive hardener, not Mach bpc or Xl Booster I feel cheated
Anyway, can recommend this site to anyone if you're lucky enough to be able to run it. The single hardest PvE challenge I've had in Eve!
