Nonsense. If you have good skills you can make a beast of a shield Domi that barely takes any shield damage at all before destroying everything flying in a straight line towards it.

I switched from an armor sentry domi to a shield gank sentry+rails fit and would never go back because it gets the same job done in about half the time.

The below fit will blow through almost all missions (only 2 or 3 it struggles with that involve sensor damping like Serps blockade and others where you get an entire close range spawn with high incoming DPS) faster than any Navy Raven ever could. Only irritating thing about it is sticking next to sentries and slowboating to accel. gates.

Long range secondary (eg: Wardens for serps)

This thing dishes out 941 DPS at 30-35km. Further away than ~42km I usually switch Garde's for longer range sentries. Antimatter still hits out well with this fitting out to 60-70km so I rarely switch.

No argument here that rails aren't great, and sentries are (comparatively), but you can't argue with an extra 1,750k volley and ~450dps.

The buffer is more than enough, even in angels missions where everything races towards you, to destroy everything with plenty of breathing room.

It's hardly easy mode PvE though, going AFK = certain death.
