TP would need a serious revamp to make it useful. The skill Signature Focusing does so little (5% bonus per level) compared to what fleet boosts can directly counter it ( -32.34% from a claymore). ECM is weakly countered by one of the information links, which are rarely used anyway. Damps are countered a little by the Information Warfare and Leadership skills themselves, and TD is not countered by any fleet boosts. So not only is TP the only non-disruptive ewar, it is the ewar most completely countered by fleet boosts. I'm not asking for those fleet boosts to be changed, but that TP needs to be made useful, especially if the revamped and balanced minmatar ewar frig is to be specialized in it. |

I've been trying to think of why the races have the ewar they do, given their racial enemies. Gallente damp the traditional sniper Caldari, Caldari jam drones or gallente ships when they are up close, Amarr rightfully use TD on projectile-using Minmatar, and Minmatar.... er... I can't really see a reason to be using TP on Amarr. Missiles are a secondary weapon system for the Minmatar, so the benefit to torp phoons just doesn't justify it for me. It should be something that allows the Minmatar to counter the primary weapon system of the Amarr. The problem is, the best thing to use again the Amarr is really their own ewar. |

I'm sure there would be howling from all corners if CCP swapped cap warfare over to the Minmatar (neuts are already a common fitting on Matari ships), and webs over to the Amarr, but if you think about them in terms of countering their opponents' strengths, it makes a lot more sense.
Possibly why the Paladin has a web velocity bonus. |
