Just trained into HAC's starting this morning, and want to work on a good Zealot fit for PVP. I've seen a few different suggestions from corpies, and basically my questions boil down to:
AB or MWD? I've seen both suggested.
Super tank / mediocre gank or Darn good gank / mediocre tank?
Fit suggestions and rationales behind them would be greatly appreciated!

Nah looking mainly for a solo PVP fit. I think for fleets I'll put together a kitey fleet and use the above-mentioned mwd/scorch kite setup.

- zealot is very limited in use, it's very good at what it does but that's about it
- using one solo generally is a recipe for disaster, it's a fleet ship really
- if you do try it solo or small gang it's certainly not a "I'm kinda new to this all, I just trained this so lets try and use it" ship
Because it's a fleet ship people will be using standardised fleet fits and as such there is a "if you have to ask, you shouldn't use one" going on.
If you want to use it solo, don't
if you want to use it in a small gang there's probably better ships for that
if you want to use it in a fleet ask your FC or check your corp fittings
Well it wasn't what I wanted to hear but it's honest. Once again I find myself regretting going Amarr to start with.

Alright thanks, both of you. I actually already have an ONI so I'll play around with it. Good point, tis certainly cheaper then the Zealot. Guess I'll go throw a few of those around and hopefully learn from the failures (and hopefully have some successes.)
My main issue is that almost all of my PVP experience has either been small-gang roams, gatecamps, or mid-sized Bombers Bar / Spectre Fleet ops. I want to get more into solo PVP, especially since I keep off hours lol. Any further suggestions on how/where to learn more would be greatly appreciated.
In the meantime, will EFT what I THINK will be some good ONI fits and see how they work in practice
Thanks again o7

Executioner and Tormentor are really good frigates, Punisher is also quite good but it's less versatile and very obvious in its strategy.
Great, thanks for that tip! My only REAL frig experience was missions in my younger days (in a Punisher, lol,) and a little minnie experience on a FW alt that I havent done much at all with, but this is my main/highest SP toon so I wanna utilize him. I have good gunnery skills so Ive got something to build on. Will check out Exec and Tormentor and start my education. Thanks again!
