Hi, I am fairly new to the game (5 weeks, 1.1mil SP) and am wondering if I have made a wise choice going Amarr.
It seems to me from other posts that everyone else does things better than Amarr (except maybe Minmatar, though they have speed).
The main advantages of Amarr seem to be armour tanking and laser weapons. From what I gather shield tanking is both more efficient that armour tanking and more effective (you have the extra buffer of armour after the shield goes after all!). Laser weapons also seem to be much less use than missiles, shorter range and optimal distances, only 2 damage types compared to longer range and no minumum with choice of damage for missiles. Also Missiles are cap free while Lasers are cap heavy.
So why choose Amarr over Caldari for example? Caldari ships have more mid slots which seem better geared for PVP too. I am not trying to bash Amarr and I realise anyone can fly any ship etc. it's just that I want to know what is the selling point of Amarr over the other races? After watching a lot of the PVP tournament Amarr seemed to have a fairly low presence which I presume will lower even further if they allow electronic warfare next time, gimping Amarr further...

Honestly? Amarr T2 ships are good. BS are OK. T1 cruisers needs fixing because I dont find it funny/inefficient to use autocannons on Mallers.

Well, most Khanid ships exept the curse have also issues, TBH. And the t2 frigates, while doing ok damage, lack too much in the flexibility department to make up for that.

As with all races they have their advantages and their disadvantages. Amarr can be tough in the right hands...although they do need to be beefed up a bit, maybe reduce cap useage of lasers. Or fix it all by nerfing missiles :)

Amarr have the ability to do deep space ratting with no support as lasers don't use ammo.
That means no need for a POS, blue prints to make ammo, or jumps back to a base.
Also shield tankers, if something goes wrong, will go into armor damage, so they need to dock, fit an armor repairer, and undock, and repair... An armor repairer ship is always ready to fight.
Amarr still has problems, but if you take 2 people ratting, and one runs out of ammo and then needs 20-30 minutes to dock/find ammo, the amarr always comes out on top over time... |

The only Amarrian ships I fly regularly (in PvP) are the Vengeance and Arbitrator; Geddon on the occasion I need a bit more firepower. They're not bad ships by any means. Not top of their classes against other races, perhaps, but they can more than hold their own.
The current issues with laser damage types versus regularly tanked damage types are their thorn - albeit to a much lesser degree for the Arby - but I think we'll see that fixed over time. Every race goes through a cycle of having the advantage and then the disadvantage, it's the nature of balancing a complex game. 
I would love to see something done about the Omen and Maller because, as they are, there aren't many reasons to fly them. My Arbitrator, on the other hand, kicks ass.

Thanks for input everyone, this is what I mean though, what are the advantages? If I took an Amarr Frigate/Cruiser/Battleship etc up against the Caldari equivalent in the hands of an equally skilled (and skillpointed) player what chance would I have? I am talking one on one in a fair fight. Also against Minmantar and Gallente? I know Min can outrun my guns with the right ships from fighting Stabber NPC's. I also want to know what chance I would have of actually winning and killing them. I would have to use most of my mids on trapping equipment just to stop them getting away even if I could out-tank them.
I realise every situation is based on unmeasureable chances/fittings and outcomes but from what I can tell the Amarr seem to have things stacked against them more than the rest (Min need more skills admittedly to be effective too). Are things likely to change or am I better off aiming my skills at other races gear?

hmm, though i agree that marr need a little boost atm they do have advantages now.
pro:
the best tank (crystal set is nice too, but imo slave > crystal )
the most cap
2nd best damage output
flexible when it comes to ranges
2nd best with drones
cons:
quite slow (mostly)
lack of mid slots for EW (so they are susceptible to EW on their own)
and that about sums it up, in general i still think amarr are ok, they dont rock, but theyre very ok (though they still need alittle boost :P)

So can gallente droneships.
And have on top the bonus that they can effeciently rat every NPC. The problem with Amarr NPCing is that Bloods and Sanshas are very easy, but Angles and Guristas are rather hard with lasers. This is not exactly a problem of the fixed damagetypes, but that the EM resistances of NPCs vary a *lot* more than the other resistances, making amarr either the by far best or the by far worst choice.

Thats no argument. When something goes wrong with an armor tank you get structure damage, so you need to dock, fit... Assuming you get as far. Loosing all your structure happens a lot faster than loosing all your (untanked) armor and structure.

marr lack flexiily, not only per ship, but as a race.
Additionally to that, recent changes to game mechanics (stacking penalty, ECM) have chopped of a good chunk of their relative strength.
Amarr is easily the weakest race atm, but that might change in time.

lasers use lots of cap have high fittings and only realy effective vs Sanshas and Bloods.
Amarr have alot of weakness to many things NOS,tracking disrupters and Ecm will put you out of a fight quickly.
Gank Geddons are paper thin and go down fast.
Apoc has poor damage for a BS unless its setup to snipe and then its paper thin again.
Who needs a Uber tanked ship floating around if it does nothing usefull all the tank in world wont save you vs 2 or more enemie BS and EW makes you a favorite for a easy take down if you setup to gank.
our t1 line up bar the Arbi is poor, maller works best with blasters.. go figure.. everything else is a waste of time.
conclusion is amarr have boring fleet only BS's and will get another one in Teir 3.
on the flip side our Recon ships are good and the Zelots ok just so long as you dont face any armour tankers.

I fly a Pilgrim for pvp so i get round fiting lasers, for NPC i sold my soul and fly a Raven its the smart thing to do.
Amarr Dread is a good ship though its got a good tank for poping POS's.
best option i can offer a new player is train caldari.

Ok Apoc is a great complexing ship if you do drone complexes. geddon is one of the best fleet ships for short range that there is and almost always grabs top of the killmails. curse and pilgrim are questionably the best recon ships and i'd say pilgrim is best solo pirating ship in game. the af's are ok. arbitrator is a decent cruiser for ecm/nos/drones setups. Oh and the zealot is not the best hac but is a huge damage dealer.
They also get great advantages like no ammo (unless u use t2 crystals like me but they last ages). and u can change ur crystals in an instant altering range/damage.
Yeah amarr have there problems bu i think i've pointed out why amarr is still not a bad choice.

Geddons usualy get called primary first unless theres a scorp in the mix.
a raven with a mix of cruise and torps is more effective for any kinda of complex as you can use any dmg type from any range and never miss.
running missions and complexes in Apoc takes forever a phoon or domi are better anyway.
t2 ammo costs more for lasers, compair the price of 1000 shots of other t2 ammo and the cost of a t2 crystal as t2 crystals last for a max of about 1000 shots.
loseing a geddon with 100mill fittings and 70 mill of ammo is priceless.

I find amarr ships more than efficient. Only amarr ships I can't fly on my alt is the logistics, hacs ( 1 week away ), Command ships, and combat oriented capital ships. All of which I am skilling for.
Not only are the ships satisfactory, but the Ni Kunni and Khanid bloodlines are really well balanced.

The main issue with Amarr is EM/thermal resists. You can basically forget about NPC'ing against Angels & Guristas (unless you are into the whole self-torture thing), and your damage will struggle against any sort of armor tanking setup (which most ships tend to use). It's possible that Amarr will get reevaluated... but who knows.

Ok, you all complain about Amarr lacking in EW department... of course, compared to Caldari they are lacking. But if you compare it to Gallente... Apoc vs Mega ... same slot layout, close damage where Megathron is somethat better at extremely close ranges and Apoc have better flexebility other range. In average gate camp where you need to shot from 15-20 km Apoc actually do higher damage than Megathron or Tempest.
And, while Ammar lacking EW versus Caldari, Ammar ships are still vastly better in fleet battles. Even Scorps are not so great once you routinely starts to use ECCM and backaup arrays.
So, i'd say: if you want PvP - Ammar will do just as good as other races. May be slightly worse if you want to do it solo, but i dont know many ppls who succesfully PvP solo, espeaceally in BS's. But if you want mainly PvE, then go Caldari no questions. Nothing can be compared to Raven.

Look anyone that has been playing this game for a while will tell you that all races are good for a while, get nerfed, and then later on get unnerfed and are good again. It cycles and that is just the way it is.
Now, I fly Apoc for missions. There is not much I cannot kill but then I also have T2 fittings and weapons and while I cannot carry much for drones, my 6+ million SP in them means that they hit hard too. I have not found much that I cannot kill though I will admit, some Gurstas are a pain... 20 minutes to break a tank sucks, but then I am in no danger of losing my ship either. The armor tank on an Apoc is a joy to behold.
So while Amarr is not the flavor of the week now... they have been and will be again. (before they are nerfed, again)

Blasterthron will pwn a Apoc if the fight starts under 30 km
it will get under the tracking to fast and lasers bounce of armour tanks if the fights starts long range the Apoc pilots a fool not to warp off.
Not to mention the Megathrons huge drone bay so web drones will only buy you a few moments.
Blaster dmg out put will rip through any tank close range.
Geddon has a better chance imo and then its a ***** fight over who has the highest DPS.
Apoc has one role in pvp long range fleet Sniper with t2s.
Its great for mining though thats were its slight edge over other BS tanks is most usefull.
Not to mention our low sensor strenth.
The fact Gal get the Domi more than makes up for the Megathrons Apoc clone slots layout.
Anyone who says a tracking bonus sucks needs to be shot
Heres how i would fix Lasers Drop there rate of Fire 50% and change the 10% Cap use per lvl to 10% Dmg per lvl.
if lasers are fireing 50% slower there useing 50% less cap per second so the stupid Bonus can be changed and yes this would also go some way towards t2 crystal balance as each shot fired is more bang for your buck, 1600mm users likely use half the t2 ammo of other turret ships.

2nd best with drones? why because we have 1 t1 drone ship and 2 t2 (all based on the same hull)
quite slow yes.
you said we had 2nd best drones, imo because of 3 ships, well guess what they are our 3 best ew platforms also... figure this one out your self

got a point there but if you put pulses on a apoc you can have a quite nasty tank depending on your skills and which type of lasers they just have REALLY low cpu which should change even with good skills you seem to run out of cpu and they're still good at close range medium and long and really long , geddon is close , med (pulses hit nice at 9km even though its optimal is 15km depending on the crystal you use) and if your ina geddon you put 5 t2 heavy drones ........ thats just pure pwnage, they are really slow............

A t2 geddon with tachs is the highest (over some time, like at least 40s I think) DPS 200km+ sniper. The pilgrim is an amazing force recon though we'll see what the announced changes to nos will do about that. The zealot is probably the second best HAC after the Vagabond.
But aside from those few, stuff is pretty bad for Amarr flying players. I mean god damn, isn't a 43-page thread talking about how they're underpowered proof enough there is a problem? Especially since that same 43-page thread hasn't received any dev response? Isn't the incredible sparsity of player population in Amarr space and overall lack of Amarr characters proof there is a problem? And if someone quotes this saying that needing no ammo is a huge boon I am going to ******* slap them in the face. There is a reason such a large portion of Amarr players end up training Gallente ships.

Is there any religios reason why you cant put and AB or MWD on Apoc? Mega dont even have any bonuses to MWD... and have same slot layout. And less cap. and 2 more drones. And half range. Where is the hype?
And even if your religy prohibit MWD on Apoc, you can still fit ECM or ECCM on that extra mid slot, making Mega life much harder...

An afterburner will be useless vs a MWD mega, thats no option.
An MWD could be an option, exept that firing and using the MWD will cause problems. And the mega pilot would be a moron if you would not warp out if he cannot catch up.

My advice... Stuff Amarr, go Caldari. I fly Amarr ships atm and I'm far from happy.
And don't think the "no ammo" thing is nice. What people don't tell you is that as soon as you get to your T2 lasers fitted with fantastic T2 crystals, the crystals explode. Yeh I know it sux. And to give you an idea, for small T2 crystals you can expect to pay upto 800k per crystal in low sec / 0.0. And a crystal only lasts a day or 2 then it goes pop.
So train Caldari, grab a hold full of missles and stash them at a station and wtfpwn everything, get rich, be happy.
Edit: To your original question:
Yes, Amarr are good armour tankers. You can tank stuff till they die of old age or use minmatar weapons to speed up the process slightly. You can also attempt to have your target laugh himself to death with a laser light show.

Well actually u can easly counter amarr ships with EAN II + DC + NOS ( even i dont want to mention EW ). There is an amarr thread around 43 pages, in that thread mostly people says only pilgrim/curse brothers worth to use. There is no best ship in amarr race except recons and totally all racial dmg type/ships looks like broken. Amarr isnt a good choice for pvp neither pve. I say gallente is a good option going for it, in gallente u can find good ships in every size nearly. Other options are caldari and minmatar, but dunno which 1 is meeting with your style.
Some of Amarr ships are very sexy and wasted with bad bonuses  ( 5% bonus to EM Missile damage per level | this bonus on malediction every time makes me sad )
- Amarr is hard to fit.
- Damage type broken
- Yes Amarr is using ammo, its named with "CAPACITOR" ingame.
- Im thinking Amarr is "OK" --> you are clueless EVEn you arent flying with Amarr ships or you arent playing EVE Online.
- Amarr is the only race that game mechanic forcing you to use another race weapons.
- For myself i like Amarr ships/designs, but they arent satisfy me ( pvp/pve wise )
- Khanid designs is another story
- Tier 3 BS will be an apocalpyse clone
- Im not remember who but some1 wrote that before in official forums "If devs wont fix amarr, in future we will have 20 dominixes in ganks" ( or put your favourite ships here )
- Gallente ship prices goibg up from now around Jita
- Im really sorry about who has million skill points that spec in Amarr, this thing makes me sad also. Some of these people should be disappointed.
- If you going for Amarr think twice before do that

Amarr also have a ship that people refuse to fly based ONLY on how it looks: The Prophecy.
I refuse to fly the prophecy because it looks like the corpse of a rotting chicken. I do not fly dead chickens k?
I know I'm not the only one.

Hey i have 2 questions related to the post here
1- Someone mentionned they'll be NOS changes. Anyone have a link bout this ?
2- Many said the Arbi was a good cruiser. Can you send a good pvp fitting ? I just started to live in 0.0 and i have cruiser to V, but never tried one.
Thanks

An afterburner will be useless vs a MWD mega, thats no option.
An MWD could be an option, exept that firing and using the MWD together will cause problems. And the mega pilot would be a moron if he would not warp out if he cannot catch up.
And Apoc pilot would be moron not to keep Megathron withing 20km to scramle him. Do you like the conversation this way?

Reading- comprehension. Read the post before mine. So it's a loose-loose situation?

Amarr ships arent too bad i used a Coercer at lower skills for the lvl 1 missions so i didnt have any cost in ammo as the laser crystals never need replacing. id imagine even a drone ship will loose a drone here and there and run out of spares.
