thrasher is good, but auto cannons suck on it.

With auto cannons you have to get close enough to target, but thing is that trasher is usually too slow for that.

Condor with mwd and td will kill ac trashers easily.

Anyone that says the AC fit thrasher is bad is so ******* dumb they should probably biomass their toon.

Like any other fit it can be counter fit, however it is FAR superior to the Arty thrasher in 75% of all situations. As someone who spends a lot of time in one and does not typically use boosts, ACs rock. Think I loss once to an Arty thrasher (because he was boosted) and occasionally to a td hookbill. But even with a TD and being kited @scram range your can do things to win.

Now if you never undock without your loki booster then yeah from that perspective they are terrible. Loki boosters allow you to do wonders with kite fits. But people wont tell you that, they actually think they are awesome when it's all in the boosts.

Of grid boosting is the bane of solo pvp, I would rather be falcon'd

The 125mm rail Catalyst is really good. I recently discovered the medium pulse Coercer too. 400 DPS at 20km is awesome.

I'm actually running the shield buffer tank AC build. Didn't even think of the nuet. I wonder if running with a partner in the armor thrasher build would be a good idea. Still training up the skills for max dps, still have a handful to go before I remap attributes to fast train and perfect all the navigation skills before I move on to the Int/memory ****.

I would like to hear about the builds for the other destroyers as well.

Also I would like to know the difference in running MWD and afterburner. That's probably the only difference I have in the build is that I'm running an afterburner instead of an MWD. What's the pro and cons of it. From what I know, MWD increase sig radius and decrease capaciter capacity plus it's shut off by scrambles. Even if it's not shut off, it increase the sig radius to such an amount that your sig radius to speed ratio is actually lower so I imagine it's something to just dash you into range to tackle quickly and set you on top of them ASAP. Afterburner have none of those disadvantages of the MWD but doesn't have that high speed bonus that the MWD gives. Any opinions on what is better to run?

Also what are the thoughts of running thrashers in a group of thrashers? Does it tend to work well and is it feasible to take out larger and more 'itiminating' ships.

I noticed something that hinted that the t2 counterpart for the thrasher is not as good. Any reason why I'm seeing subliminal message on the Sabre?

Would it be possible to ask for a fit for that Coercer? I've (after 6 years or so) finally started training for something not Minmatar or ORE. Had to be Amarr ofc, as it's a pre-req for those sexy Sansha ships.

Dont listen to any gallente advice. Their game plan is : see destroyer reship to cruiser. See cruiser reship to battlecruiser

AC thrashers are full of win. Arty thrashers are nice but Ac is so much more flexible.

My tip is rather than standard gyro+dc lows or twin gyro.. go gyro+TE

The extra range makes massive differance if you are good at flying that little thing around.

As opposed to your personal reshipping to a drake take on my thrasher?

LOL - gawd I love you squids, never changes



@OP - dessies are fun ships. A lot of "bang for the buck". Just as with any ship/fit, they have their strengths and weaknesses.

Do not fit neut on Thrasher. I had at least 3 Thrasher 1v1 fights that I barely won in low structure. 1 rocket launcher can be the difference.

Coercer - best fleet dessy

Thrasher - all around great ship.

Cormorant - ultimate sniping /kiting dessy

catalyst - amazing close range ship

Yeah, honorable space invertibrate mollusks would never do such a dishonorable thing. And space amphibians do it all the time. You could never be presenting your subjective opinion, only the true facts.

Always it's the Caldari militia with their lesser numbers http://evemaps.dotlan.net/npc/State_Protectorate of smaller ships purposely engaing huge Gallente blobs http://evemaps.dotlan.net/npc/Federal_Defense_Union in class larger ships. Filthy Gallente they suck ass. pthpt ! pthpt !

As for the meat of your post it is rather thin on detail, or "tactics" as the op requested. Anyway, op there is a whole thread on destroyers and where they are going. Have fun reading it all https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=142102&find=unread

I see you did name your character by throwing silverware down a flight of steps.

:D AC does not make it any flexible, it is arties that makes it flexible.

With ac you always have to go to tackle range and then it is do or die, with arties you can shoot out of tackle range and get out if things does not go so well,

4) I break out a hammer and chisel, and try to figure a way to carve another mid slot onto my ship for a point. :(
