I personally can't wait until they nerf T3's into the ground in a disillusioned stupor. I too believe that having ships that are worse than their HAC counterparts, but jack of all trades (this is what CCP has said they want T3's to be), cost 300% more and invoke a skillpoint loss on death is balanced.
/sarcasm
Excluding the Tengu, T3's are already underpowered with the exception of an armor web loki which only works well because there is otherwise no viable long range armor web platform. Tengu is only good because heavy missiles are/will be good, they should be nerfed more imo.
The only place where T3's are actually decently viable is with gang boosting--which will soon get nerfed anyway. In pretty much all other roles T3's offer a hilariously small advantage that nobody even cares about because of the price and SP loss.
Proteus is an absolute joke for more reasons than one, as is the legion. Tengu is good only through the fact that it's powergrid and cap allow for 100mn AB fits (without this fit, the tengu would rarely be flown in pvp) which also pretty much only work well with non-tracking dependent weapons (i.e. missiles.) The loki an absolute joke in any shield setup, has dps that is worse than a sleipnir, tank that is worse than a sleipnir, fitting that is worse than a sleipnir. Its armor setup is the only good thing about it.
It's so frustrating to have a complete rack of level 5 skills for T3's that I end up not using because T3's are so goddamn inefficient in terms of balancing isk with utility and power with perceived power. I keep buying myself proteuses and then having to sell them because they're completely unusable in 99% of combat situations. You're almost always better served with using a kiting ship, and there are plenty that can achieve the same dps the proteus can, but from 20km.
Oh yea, in regards to the title, I won't be flying T3's if I cannot eject. I'll continue to use an armor web loki, but I don't use it in pvp so hopefully I won't get into a situation where I die. |
