I'm kinda looking at Apocalypse and Loki, but neither seem ideal for the task. I'd prefer not to use any faction ships and I'd prefer something that doesn't require a high skill cap to perform to a reasonable standard.
I've used an Oracle in the past but I had to kite from so far away, the DPS wasn't good enough. I'd like something with some tank so it can apply heavy damage up close.

Loki can tank it for sure but its damage application isn't the best, I have no experience with Blood Raider plexes, but the Apoc is the go-to choice for EM rat PvE, it can comfortably fit a 400+dps BR tank with 600+dps at 80km with Scorch, Im not sure if its enough, but you should definitely consider the Apoc, its pretty cheap tool. |

Yeah, that's the problem, I don't really know how much DPS I should be looking at tanking. I guess with beams, the tank doesn't need to be as strong, but I also like something with mobility. Loki does have the resists and mobility, it can tank a lot and deal with frigs and cruisers easily enough. I don't know how it will deal with the neuts though.

If you just want to do Anos - a lot of ships work. I prefer Domi, because i can do something else parallel.
If you want to do bloodraider plexes in 0.0, there is no ship matching your criterias.
Bloodraiders are not like other npc's but a lot harder - mainly because of the neuts. I dont think, they are doable with a single ship.
I dualbox two Faction-Battleships to do them - a rattlesnake and a domi with energy transfer - and i skip the gated 10/10.

Yeah, I think I'm doing the anomalies, the ones you find with your normal ship scanner. I don't think my Sacrilege would be able to tank them with all the neuts and I'm not keen to try it with a Zealot either. Ideally I want something small and fast, good DPS, good tank and can tank or kite the neuts. HAM Legion might work but the resists aren't ideal and I'm not sure how much DPS I need to be aiming for with my tank.

A muninn can do that too, dps application is a bit low, but it doesnt care for neuts and can tank BR quite easily. |

Why do you need high mobility? Is there something about BR anoms different from other anoms that requires it? If you're on your guard, reds/neuts popping into your system shouldn't usually be such a problem that super-good align time is needed.
Anyway, cap-injected armor Ishtar maybe, if you're not going for a BS? |

I don't really need high mobility, I just prefer quicker ships to slow ones. I can settle for a BS if I have to, but with the upcoming changes, I'm not even sure what to plan for in that area.
I took a look at the Muninn and came up with this fit:
It has a couple of vamps and a battery which should tank the neuts quite nicely. It has 416 DPS tank, I'm not sure if that is strong enough but I can always add another hardener. The only problem is it needs Advance Weapon Upgrades 5 to fit, so I'll have to make some compromises somewhere.

With tracking links/computers you have pretty fine grained control over your range. |

Short-ranged Gun platforms for BRaiders is a very bad idea:
- Web Towers, webbing you from 40km.
- TDs
Unfortunately, the way PvE is designed right now, Launcher/Drone platforms are better (vs BRs, due to TDing). On the whole, for PvE you need better projection fits.
Comparing EFT DPS of above vs a HML Drake, might make you feel good, but the time you will spend getting into AC range, would be spent firing HMLs, therefore applied DPS is lower in PvE for short-ranged platforms. (even if we ignore the TD effects).
Serpentis Damps and Gurista ECMs are annoying too.
Unfortunately, the correct answer, for most PvE problems = Tengu. Especially vs Serp/Gurista due to Kinetic Dmg and good Kin/Therm resists. v/s Angels due to superb Explo resists. v/s BRaiders due to immunity vs TDs (except very specific plexes, you should be able to quickly kill the neuting source).
If you cant yet do Tengu, Arty Munnin (full rack 720s, add RLMLs or prober/salvager as the med nos is pointless), may work. Personally, havent tried - overtanked HML Drake works just fine for 4-6/10s. (yes, shooting kin) |

Yeah, I'm going to train a Tengu next on this character after I'm done with Legion. My alliance friend told me to train a carrier, but I'm not keen on that idea right now, maybe in a year or two.

Btw, while u train legion/Tengu, if you can fly the Munnin, you may wish to test this:

Hobgoblin II x5
All5s key stats:
407 tank vs Braider Damage Profile (50 E, 48 T, 2 K)
454 Dps - 355 EMP via Arties, 99 Thermal via hobgobs, 3k Alpha means all Rat Frigs/Destros will pop in 1 shot
23km Optimal + 22km Falloff with RF EMP
Carry some RF Proton for the web or neut towers that maybe out of range (72km optimal, only 150 gun dps)
130 Sig Radius, 615ms Speed, Cap Stable
If you want more tank, just buy a Corelum C-Type MAR, costs ~50m and will take tank to 447. For even more tank, drop 1 gyro and replace with a DCU. (526 Tank, 396 Dps with C-Type MAR and DCU)
I myself will try it and post results in this thread - my gut says with the low sig and speed the 407 tank may be enough. |

Ye, i dont mind, i came to the thread also looking for the same query.
This Muninn may not be an ideal solution, but should outperform a Drake, so a good go-between for people who either cant fly (or cant afford to) Tengus.
EFTing a Sac before i buy this, though HAM projection will be inferior and the native resists are low for BR. |

I'm currently using a Sacrilege for ratting belts but I don't think it will be good for anomalies. The resists are all wrong and I'd imagine it would have to sacrifice too much DPS to be worthwhile.
