While i haven't had the oppourtunity to do so myself, I hear that since the hac rebalance an ishtar is completely capable of soloing it, either active shield tank (pithum c-type) or armor tank. Drone proteus should also be fine doing it.

Do the HQ in a T3, and *if* noquarter pops and *if* it runs all the way then yes you'll need help for the end. It is not like the FSP there is no guarantee it will run all the way. That help will need to get to wherever it escalates to which is likely to be 30+ jumps away from where you found the HQ itself. |

I think he found the unrated HQ, and not "the maze". its not actually a 10/10 though it does share the x-type loot table.

I've done L4-5 with over 10 to 20 pilots. You need tanks to absorb DPS and keep agro.
The runner left most of the loot.
I have no idea what that Gurista 10/10 takes.
Do Gurista site pay more because they are easier to destroy? |

Are we talking the provincial HQ here, or the Maze?
I did the escalation of the Provincial HQ twice. Once in a small group years back, and it was not that hard. This was before the aggrochanges, so i am not sure what it would take now. I remember we did it with two ravens, an ishtar and we had a scimi as logi. When we had the final spawn we had to get two other guys in drakes to break the tank of the overseer since he has a massive shieldrep. Needs about 2000 dps i think.
Last time i did it, i used a chimera on my pve alt and a tengu on my main. The chim was fit that it could use 14 sentries and did about 1600 dps, and with the added 700 or so from the tengu it was relatively easy to get the overseer down. Still took about 10 minutes for it to pop. During the proces of getting the spawns i had to warp the tengu out on occassion. I think there is also neuts there so those need to die first. The Chimera had no problems tanking it though as long as the neuts were blown up in timely fashion. The room is BIG so you need to warp around a bit.
First two escalations can be done with an ishtar or tengu. 3rd escalation needs more ships, or a carrier. Final escalation also several ships or a carrier and some ships. You need 2000-2500 dps to break the overseers tank anyway, so plan for that and for neuts. So bring logi, massive passive tanks. If i couldn't use a carrier i would probably use several passive shield ishtars and tengu's, maybe with some shieldlogi. Kill neuts first when they appear and you should be good. When down to the final spawn maybe a high dps ship like a vindi or a domi. |

Th Guristas Provincial HQ does not have neutralizers. It does have siege railguns and blasters that do OMNI damage, not EM. This is what kills most ships since they think they can come in with their giant kin/therm tank and cakewalk it.
The escalation rate is very low for this. Of the dozens I've done, I think maybe 5 have gone all the way to the end. If you do get to the end, you will need around 2000 dps to break the overseer's tank, and each ship will need to be able to tank his damage (which is moderate) since he happily switches targets, and is very fast for a battleship. The final stage is not deadspace, so you can warp around within the site, and/or cyno in capital ships. |

Two RR tengus should do the trick.
There is a video of it on Youtube from Zaqq. He was totaly overtanked.

oh yeah, the HQ kinda sucks. Those siege railgun sentries give me nightmares.
