Hi all. I've been fighting Gurista and serpentsis rats for a long time now and I can tank them No problem. Same thing goes for Amar NPC's, Very easy to Armor tank em.
But the Frigging angel Rats, lay a hurting on me. I know they do a lot of explosive and Kinetic damage, but when I try to shield tank they do a lot of EMP and thermal damage (at least it seems like they do, I've chewed on quiet a few TBolt and Paradise cruise launched by them) Can any of you Expierenced Angel Killers give me some pointers?
Note: I fly either a Armor tanked Megathron, or a shield tanked tempest. Also, I know Explosive damage hurts them the worst.
Thank you

I can tank those reasonably ok up to 1 seraphim or 2 lower bounty bs, but note that my skills are far from perfect.
Using a Mega for it.
lows : 2 large named reps, 3 harnders (kin, expl, therm) rest cap
med : 4 named cap rechargers (will go for tech 2's when I have some spare money)
highs guns and launchers...
I hope this helps

this works. tech 2 large guns and 55% hardners help too.

Thanks all. Do you think on a Mega you could switch 1 cap relay on the low slots for a Energized adaptive screen, just to help take a little more of their bite off?

Nick, i stay in angel space and yes angels are prob the hardest rats, but can be made easy, first off, set yourself with thermal and emp hardeners, with thermal and emp missile, torps etc, torps are the best weapon for them, dont use lasers, keep distance, they have MWD, and the battleships can travel at 750m/s +, try this then let me know how it went.

Keep some long range guns for the rats that keep their distance (2 * 350mm). Rest blasters and 2 seige launchers for webbers (cruise) and BS (torps)
MWD hurts cap too much imho.

Well look at it this way. What damage do they deal the most, and what damage are they most voulnerable to ?
Explosive.
What defence system got most resistance to explosive ? Shields ofc.
What is the best shield tanker? Raven.
So a raven with good shield tank + bane torps = PWN.
I have done some simple calculating. To earn 10 mil killing Angels, you need to spend about 155k worth of torps. And this is bane torps, since angels have 50% explosive resistance on shields, and some 40% on armor.

Exactly right.
Against a Seraphim's shields (the 1.5m rat) your Bane torpedoes (Exp) do exactly the same amount of damage as Mjolnir (EM) torpedoes. I just used Bane torpedoes against everything (not as effective against Generals, but they go down quickly enough)
When I lived in Curse fighting Angel rats, on my Raven I'd use a L Shield Booster II, 3xHardener (EM, Therm, Kinetic), L Shield Extender II, Shield Amp with 2xPower Diag II in the low slots. You can basically outtank a Seraphim forever (with proper skills).
