I have been running Caldari lvl 2 missions in a Punisher for a few weeks now, and I haven't run into any problems. Today, I got a mission called "Eliminate the Pirate Campers", now before an impressions are given I didn't lose my ship, or even close to that.
This mission dropped me off with 6 < 6k Gurista mobs with one Dire Gurista Destructor in the group. I eliminated all of the mobs except for the Dire Gurista Destructor. I began orbiting the mob with all guns and nos activated and was very very suprised at the damage reports. I normally have a normal shot of about 40-50 and a wrecking shot of >100. Well, the average shot against this mob was about 6.9 and my wrecking shot was 17. As you can probably guess, it took a very very long time to take this bastard down.
Is this a demonstration of why I shouldn't use lasers on Guristas? Is there a way to take care of these types of mobs?
Any advice, suggestions, or information is greatly appreciated.

If you want to run missions where guristas are involved your best bet is a missile ship and kinetic missiles.

My only guess is that its a HAC NPC. I have this mission I keep getting and the NPC in it must be a Sac because my heavies were doing crap damage to it...and my heavies dont do crap damagae. I dunno though..that ship might just be as gimped as the little Mercenary Wingman.

now this is the way a sig should be

Yeah Dire Guristas have insane resists, my scourge land for about 95 damage on Dire Gurista cruisers when I use my Cerberus, base damage is 345 so that's about 70-75% resist I believe, which is pretty high for a NPC.

Thanks for your responses...
To be honest, I would rather not switch to kinetic missiles...Would it be that much better to move to Amarr space?

Amarr space would probably be a little better, since Bloods/Sanshas are weaker towards lasers. However, I haven't fought the elite NPCs there, maybe they're just as tough? Lasers aren't the greatest weapons in the 'verse to use against Guristas, I can atest to that since I've been living in Deklein for over a year. Tech 2 helps, but it's still a pain to ***** those elite NPCs. Only other suggestion is to use kinetic drones (not available on a Punisher, I know).

Dire Guristas can be in the form of Assault ships, how ever most Dire NPC's are to be removed from lvl 1-3 agent missions but will still be seen in singletonz (end NPC) or as support in lvl 4 missions.

Its always best or should i say easiest to use agents in youre home systems. Since rats in say amarr space are weak against amarr weaponry and also attack with dmg types that youre resistant to.

I wouldn't be opposed to moving to Amarr space except that my corporation is based in The Citadel.
Is there any easy or practical way to use Amarr agents while staying close to my corporation's assets?

Shoot him ingame if you don't like this person. If you do like him, go mine veldspar with him.
