Every year after the tourneys its the same damn thing. You'd think a member from an alliance that made it to the finals would know that what works in tourney doesnt work in tq.

This is an actual broken mechanic though. They nerfed webs, tracking on gun, missile damage application so that BC's and Battleships couldnt kill frigs easily on their own. Its just time now that sentries fell into line as well. Since they use 25 bandwidth they are considered "Large" Sized weapons and as such should not be able to hit a non tackled frigate that has transversal.

You seriously want to nerf an entire weapon system because ONE hull kicks ass with it?

Seriously?


Edit: And at what range was this? I was under the impression that angular velocity was more use and burning sideways at long range was basically worthless.

"Burning sideways" is exactly how to maximise angular velocity. The "sideways" component of your movement is the angular velocity.

For the sakes of an open comparison - how long does the Domi take to lock the ares and how much ground can it cover in that lock time?

Also we should consider that, if tackle gets under the sentries, the Domi/$DRONE_BOAT loses nearly all their DPS in it's removal - other hulls have hobgobs as ancillary peelers for things like this at no compromise to main DPS.

Cards on the table I really dont have a dog in this fight, but we should look at all angles for balancing.

I did the math on it:



At 90km will it get hit with 650 DPS (90% hit'n'miss chance).
At 50km it is 450 DPS (70% hit'n'miss chance).
At 30km it is 206 DPS (37% hit'n'miss chance).
At 20km it is 65 DPS (10% hit'n'miss chance).

So basically, if the Interceptor is not already on top of the Garde IIs and orbiting perfectly at maximum velocity will it get shot.

The Era of Total Gallente Domination has begun

I've been training for it since day 0

muahahaha

"Happened before, will happen again"

Sentry Domis in the past were already used by some known guys at that time, many changes occurred since then to the point those were not viable anymore but since these new modules addition and Drone ship bonus changes they will quite soon enough replace major alliances fleets doctrines because defensive strategies are quite easy to set and because this setup is very very difficult to counter (Doom portal requires experienced players doing it and the numbers/logistics to achieve it)

All hail drone fleets camping and ganking everything and everyone.

Its not the drones, or even the Domi, its the assist mechanic.

In a small gang where everyone locks everyone annyway, you don't know when you are going to get hit, and in a fleet you STILL don't know when you are going to get hit, you just have to filter the overview looking for fast lockers with long range....otherwise you get hit with 500+ sentries all at once and there isn't time for armor reps to land between volleys.
