Hey dudes,
I understand that Ishtar's are good vs guristas due to natural resists.
Can I use a passive shield tanked ishtar to run angel sanctums? Can I tank the damage and clean up with heavy drones in a reasonable time?
Anyone doing this please advise as I don't want to buy and transport the ship all the way without some idea.
Thank you.
PS: anything else that good against angels? ( no Machs pls) |

I can not answer your question,
but i can make an assumption.
Angel rats are not Explo / Kin only, some of their ships are also shooting a high portion of EM damage. Notably here are 2 Elite cruisers, the Arch Gistum Centurion and the Arch Gistum Crusher, along with the Gistatis Legatus battlecruiser and the BS Gist Seraphim,of which you are most likely to find the latter in huge numbers.
As such, a Shield Ishtar with it's 5 midslots is probably a bad idea. Not to mention an Armor-Ishtar.
If i were to try bringing a cruiser into an Angel Sanctum, it would most likely be the Gila. 6 midslots, built in resistance bonus, and only 2 medium drones. Especially the last point as a couple of nice effects:
1. You can buy Augmented Drones, gain 10% dps increase over Tech 2, and NOT spend a fortune on it 2. The only NPCs that are ever going to target them are Elite frigs - and their damage won't suffive 3. You won't need navigation or tracking mods for them 4. You still have 3 free droneslots to be filled up by your favourite Carrier pilot with bonused Fighters from hell.
Then again, seeing that i'd have to spend 3 slots already on hardeners, and most likely a lowslot or 2, too, to get a nice tank running, the dps of the drones will probably be nowhere near the 700 you could achieve with a full rack of DDAs.
Other potentially good ships would probably be:
Rattlesnake (Maybe even the best) Tech 2 Amarr ships (HAM Legion comes to mind) Minmatar Battleships Caldari Battleships Tengu MJD Dominix MJD Eos MJD Armageddon |

I use an active ishtar. Easier. Orbit a sentry with an AB on and fit a pure angel tank. It can be done, but it's not as easy as guristas. |

I can do a rattlesnake.
I guess its a active tank? I would much prefer something that can perma tank since sometimes i do get dc/d and i want the ship to survive until i can log back in. (either perma boosting or passive)
Do you have an idea for it? |

Shield ishtars work fine. Plenty of people use them in my alliance for blood raiders which have a far worse damage profile than angels for a shield Ishtar. Either 1 em hardener, or a deadspace passive resist.
For gurista I use a 4 gun example with med shield booster II, 10mn AB and adaptive invuln. Cap to run that is more or less sufficient with 1x medium cap control circuit II (totally sufficient if not firing guns, though I usually have the AB off because its not always required). The Ishtar only needs 1 Omni if you are warping 30 - 50km initially.
If you go gunless then 100mn ABs fit, and you will only die because you were webbed. |

I've used an active shield tanked Ishtar to run plexes up to 8/10s in Angel space. Berserkers are fantastic against angels.
I have to say though that a Mach is far superior - why do you say "no Machs". Do you not have the skills yet? It 'a really worth training it up. |
