Fyi, changed skill requirements on the Bastion Module from High Energy Physics 4 and Energy Grid Upgrades 5 to Advanced Weapon Upgrades 5 and Energy Grid Upgrades 5.

This is made in an effort to respect the philosophy we introduced in the ship skill changes earlier this year. Mainly that Tech 2 ships with specialized modules should have them integrated into the hull training time whenever possible. As such, when training Marauders you will automatically gain access to the Bastion Module.

And yes, we know it's late and know that you guys potentially trained for High Energy Physics 4 already, but we warned about training this skill at your own risk. If that can make you guys feel better, that means my own TQ characters spent time training High Energy Physics 4 for nothing as well

You aren't getting your sentries back - this has already been made explicitly clear. Try to understand it already.

The Paladin also deals the most useless damage type in the whole everything - EM. So your real DPS is much less than that stupid paper DPS you seem to worship.




You don't have to use the MJD and even if you do it's not that hard to common-sense your approximate angles anyway.

Why is EM damage useless?

Guristas.

or angel

Also most armour tankers get big base resists vs EM.

Its not useless but you don't get that EFT damage output most of the time

Black Ops!

So, in short.

Lasers are bad because angels and Guristas exsist. good reasoning.

And you can perfectly fine "EFT" damage when you know how well they track and what ranges they can do this hurting at. and what mobility your ship has.

Some of you people have absolutely garbage "excuses".

And I've tested both of them just to back up my "LOL EFT WARRIOR" comments.

If you had even the faintest clue about pve you'd know that some rats, especially Angel, guirista and serp have high EM resistances, so high that the EFT damage gets cut in HALF.

That said the palladin is god mode in Amarr space with sansha and blood rats. It does ok against serp since they are moderately weak against thermal.

High bounty Sansha and Blood already cut your EFT damage by over half in a Palaidin, Are you clueless or just terrible at math?

To an angel Seraphim(Highest bounty Angel BS) it'd do 288.41 DPS (1146 dps before resists) and 391.55 to an Angel Commander(Lowest bounty angel BS)

That's 25.1666(repeating)% of EFT dps to the Seraphim and 34.1666(repeating)% of EFT dps to the commander, half is 50%, not 25.16% or 34.16%.

To a Sansha's Tyrant(Top bounty Sansha BS) it'd do 546.91 dps which is 47.72338568935428% of EFT damage, this is already less than half ? how terrible at math are you?

Also, Kronos also sucks vs Angels(Not as bad as the paladin, but with so much lower dps it's actually not that huge of a difference), and it's worse vs drones and pretty even vs mercs compared to the Paladin.

EFT warriors make me giggle.

I was just proving how dumb your reply was.

And EVE PVE isn't exactly hard. and I'm fairly sure my setups are better at killing red crosses than yours.

And please dont say carebearing.

I thought (hoped) they'd finally changed the base color on the Golem. After the live event, apparently not. Blech. When are we going to get a "paint shop" option already?

When they deem the world ready for pink thorax fleets.

I was thinking pink Iterons would be more popular...

I have been trying out the new marauders on sisi in lv 4 missions and i think its incredible

Expanded Cargohold II

That's funny.

Well the extra 400 cargo you get is realy usefull if you want to have 2 Remote tractor units in your bay. Drop one near you and microjumpdrive 100 km to drop the second to keep them from grabbing each others wrecks.

Jump between them to salvage and loot.

1595 dps with null ammo and drones

Have 2 mobile tractor units in your cargo to pull all wrecks close to you and salvage while you shredd anything apart with your blasters
The Cargo expander is to get more space for your loot and the tractor units
Tanks any lv 4 and if things get hairy you can always use the Microjumpdrive to get out of harms way.

The only thing i would like to change is that the tractor bonus the marauders get should be changed to a salvage bonus, like a 400% salvager range bonus.

How did you get 1595 with null and drones?

Using Hammerheads, all level 5 skills and the two DPS implants SS-906 and LH-1006, I get 1309.
