So I really really REALLY want to fly a Rokh. If you're wondering why, I'm also that same guy who's flying around in a Ferox.. anyway I can't find any good fits for PVE. All the results in Google are people posting that a Rokh is terrible and that Caldari should fly Ravens and Scorps instead. Now this was the same advice I got for my Ferox (fly a Drake newb lololo) but I found a fit that kinda works..
Are there any fits for a Rokh that could work for level 4 missions? I really want to fly a Rokh man.. |

Also, I've heard that the ship has trouble targeting smaller ships, but that's where the drones come in right? |

Thanks for all the help every one, this is awesome. I'm not sure if I want to try a blaster fit because I'd have to get close and as far as I know the Rokh isn't very tanky. And as far as tanking goes, an active tank is far more efficient right? |

Thanks again for all the input! I almost feel like an expert on the subject now. |

Lili Lu wrote:Plenty of good suggestions in this thread. But also folks are letting you know a Raven would be better for the job most of the time. The eventual answer will be get both (you will accumulate enough money at some point quicker than you think). I really enjoy (well when I enjoy missioning which has become less and less) the rail Rokh for gone berserk (EoM rats). It's sorta made for sniping, or a blockade. The raven can do those quite well too, but there is just something satisfying about blapping those tackling frigs at range. Also, later (but again sooner than you think) you may want to cross train to Gallente or Amarr. Those races armor tank. They are better suited against em damage rats even if you rarely get or take those missions. Either of those races will open up some nifty pirate faction ships for you. This game is not about finding one tool for all jobs. Have fun. 
Thanks for the tips! I actually trained enough Amarr to be able to fly a Harbinger, but I still prefer the Ferox over it, for some reason. Maybe I'm still a noob lol. Not sure if I want to train Gallente because I like to RP, and well.. it just quite doesn't fit in with my corporation, hah. |

I don't think anyone was implying that the Rokh was the best ship for the job, this is more a discussion on getting the best out of the Rokh via fitting choices.
Exactly this. Thanks for all the help and suggestions so far, I feel like a Rokh pro heh. Maybe this will encourage some new players (much like myself) to try different ships instead of the same cookie cutter builds that everyone else is flying. |

I'm flying a Ferox and heading to a Rokh myself, for alot of missions I'm finding my ferox faster then my old drake.
Honestly, once I got the hang of flying the Ferox I never went back to my Drake, and since there's no damage delay with gunnery I'm going through the missions so much faster. I guess it is tough at first when you're lacking the range skills for gunnery, but once you hit the 30km + mark everything in a level 3 is a joke.
Glad to hear I'm not the only crazy person on these boards |

Glad to hear I'm not the only crazy person on these boards If my gunnery skills on this character didn't suck balls, I'd be using guns. As it is, they're bad, and that skilling is on the back burner, seeing as due to an ADD skill plan (this was my first character) I have a lot of holes that need to be patched.
I'd honestly suggest you start doing gunnery man, I didn't want to at first either but with the HM nerf incoming, I just forced myself to sit there and train gunnery skills for about two or three weeks max. It was very worth it, I have no regrets about it at all.
EDIT: Mind you I'm very VERY behind on my drone skills.. |

How major is the blaster buff? |
