Originally by: inSpirAcy
At the moment the main argument is that EVE in its present state heavily favours armor tanked PvP, mainly due to the EW imbalances. Amarrians may have an advantage against shield tanked ships, but when they're primarily going up against armor tankers the argument is moot. This is a point raised earlier in the thread, that fixing the root of these problems - EW, mostly - is a better solution than fixing the symptoms (that EM currently sucks as a primary damage).
Don't pick up some whiner's argument and put it forward as mine.
EM as priamry DMG type , SO what ? Galalnet have thermal , mini have expl , caldari have kinetic , thats how the races are set . EM does most dmg on shield , lasers have highest base dmg on shields but less on armour !! I aint puttign words in ur mouth or pickign winning arguments i am stating my point of view and what i understand of what u say.
Basic dmg on shields for expl dmg is 60% just like EM is 60% on armour so mini pilots who use Expl dmg as primary should complain also wotn u agree???
As for mega havign 0 EM% and its shield gettign eaten asap by lasers then slower on armour , what exactly is ur point on fitting invul fields fit ?? shield tank a mega in addtion to armour also or am i gettign this wrong ? "What ever that doesn't Kill me just makes me stronger"

Laser damage type is far from being the real "amarr issue". Amarr just got 2 main issues - lack of med slots for ECM and crappy natural resist to ECM. The most successful battleships in game are the ones that can fit most ECM - Raven, Tempest, Dominix. If it was up to me, I'd make Amarr the strongest anti-ECM race while Caldari being the weekest. That would balance things out, since Caldari would have best ECM offense with weakest ECM defense while Amarr would have best ECM defense with weakest ECM offense.
As far as smaller ships go, Amarr seems to be ok
Currrent state of ECM is probably the reason Amarr bs aren't popular in pvp

I'm exclusively an Amarr frig pilot, I plan to branch out eventually, but for now, I'm all Amarr and all frig. Someone mentioned the Malediction and Crusader. I want someone to tell me a situation in which either of these would be preferred over the Crow, Taranis, or Claw. A corpmate of mine and I started playing within one day of each other. Our learning skills are identical. Our gunnery skills are almost identical (mine are slightly better because he trained mediums a bit). Our drone skills are identical. He has slightly better nav skills. I have more missile skills. He can pirate solo in his interceptor. I must be a part of a gang (even then, I'm more of an extra annoyance to the prey). The difference?
Me = Amarr He = Gallente
Taranis > Crusader + Malediction
We sparred once. Taranis vs Malediction. I was hitting him constantly from the begining of the battle. Neither of us were webbed. My lasers didn't miss once, nor did my rockets. The only thing hitting me were his drones. He told me he'd engage his web. I engaged mine first, the damage didn't change. I never pierced his shields (untanked inty taking em/thermal damage?). He engaged his web, and I was in a pod two cycles later. He had no intention of destroying my ship. His damage output was so ridiculous, that he ripped me from 90% shields to pod in six seconds. It happened so quickly that his tactical display reported me as being at 50% armor when my pod warped away. It wasn't until he noticed my can there that he realized I was gone.
I will admit, I'd have to add the Punisher to the list of good t1 ships.
Sooooo what's our count at?

The *only* current problems with Amarr ships are this:
1) Since the 2 x EANM2 and 1DC tank became better than a 3 x hardener tank for all round resists, Amarr damage has approximately dropped by a third versus a good proportion of most normally encountered setups in PvP. Thats a hefty hit. This is compounded by a more distant change which moved crystal damage to having proportionally more EM damage, especially in the longer ranges.
2) Khanid ships have no real flavour to them, I think a much better general line for them would be the armour tanking and missile using ships.
If tanking got relooked at slightly so that the 3 specific hardener tank was slightly better for overall resists (taking into account it uses more cap) then the Amarr problem would pretty much dissapear. And i'd love to see armour tanking missile ships for the Khanid.

There is no amarr 'issue' especially not the ones the OP suggests. In the same way i think there is no specific minmatar issues other than some ship stats on the likes of the rupture & varients so I equally ignore the 'Minmatar' thread as well as the points raised there are simply asking for boosts way beyond the current state which is extremely well balanced with only certain combinations of ships & weapon being more effective in certain scenarios than others but that is natural.
regarding the taranis vs crusader, yeh both these intys are popular and you can see why and yes in a slug fight against each other the taranis will win typically. But then taranis have been popular from the time they were made as range is almost never a problem with one. But thats because blasters have always been the best at close range and inties can dictate range or ignore it easily.
My own personal opinions is hybrids are a little too powerful overall in the extremes of range moreso (close and long) but thats my feeling across the whole board of different strategies and setups Ive seen but its not really a big issue atm.
You cant just make a whine thread and expect change. You have to back it up with real data and informed opinion.

No that is not what I mean. I was referring to the Amarr combat philosophy of directness, not anything to do with damage types. In other words their ships will win a fight because they can either outgun you or out-tank you, not pull fancy trickery.

Next...Amarr. Digitalcommunis. Tell me what 0.0 system to meet in and ill gladly come and own any amarr ship you have with a minmatar one. Why? Because your exp. resis sucks.
I fly amarr Too and they are fine the way they are.
Exp resist sucks ?? Amarr ships VS minmatar one ?? What exactly your trying to prove here ??? Amarr ships are weak on exp arm resist 10%and have 60% em resist , same as minmatar and gallnt and caldari just like all races have 0% em on shields and 60% expl with exception to T2 ships. Amarr eats shield fast , minmatar eat arm fast its balanced.
This is not WOW or Diablo where ur supposed to have a ship thats l333t and owns anything it engages.

Originally by: Auryn Darkblade 1. the 2nd amarr bonus is crap. 10% to make guns useable is not a bonus.
By the same logic, the rof + damage bonuses for minmatar ships are crap too, since they are what make minmatar ships usable. In fact, amarr have it better than minmatar or gallente as you can work around bad ship skills more easily.
the only two viable ships in pvp for amarr ships is the zealot and the geddon(not talking about our drones ships) and they both have rof bonuses. a rof bonus is awsome. its a dmg bonus meaning your actually getting a bonus. our bonus is a 50 less cap use(assuming level5) so we can actually fire our guns. not really a bonus imo
Originally by: Naughty Boy
Originally by: Auryn Darkblade 3. amarr have basically no capiblity of ew, so they need to be the hardest to jam.
Their weakness to EW is a good thing, since they have good damage and good tanks. What's broken however, on top of ECM, is the balance of low and mid slots and modules. With ECM balanced, mid/low slot layout on ships and mid/low slot modules balanced, shield tank would be seen more often, balancing the damage types. You want to adress the most obvious symptoms but the problem would stay, causing more problems on the way. .
wrong, we have bad dmg since everyone even caldary with the exeption of a few ships armor tanks, and armor tank = eamn2 with massive em resistance. with the state of EW, "as you mentioned" as it is even a raven will armor tank and fit its mid full of jammers. Regardless, the majority of ship still armor tank. Now as per amarr having good tank. right now we have no better tanks that any other race. our supposed great tanking ship(apoc) has a bonus to cap in order to run its tank. Since everyone is using cap booster to counter nos, the cap really makes no difference. to a ship that can't do any dmg anyways and works better using projectiles than laser. so really the apoc has no bonuses
Originally by: Naughty Boy
Originally by: Auryn Darkblade 5. they are also to easy to defend against due to the lack of damage variety.
You don't really see "specific" tanks anyway, unless fighting npc'ers, so it's a bit moot. You could complain about the armor resistances of the muninn, but probably not as much as minmatar pilots, so... o.- .
your right everyone uses eanm2 tanks so everyone has 75-90% em resistance
Originally by: Auryn Darkblade 6. a amarr ship or any other ship should not be better with another races guns on it. example autocannons on maller and apoc.
I'm not sure about what you mean, autocannons are terrible without two damage bonuses (or rof + damage) so if it works, it's only because you have lot of turret hardpoints... which means that lasers are still ahead (accounting for my previous answers, of course). I'm not saying that the maller is awesome though. NB.
he is right there are figure out there. atm do to eanm and the massive cap use of our gun, putting projectiles on amarr ships that do not have bonuses to dmg or rof if more effective

Not trying to get this into T2 stuff, but IMO Amarr got gimped with Damage Mod stacking nerf.
Especially Zealot, now it got more slots and don`t know what to do with them since fitting more then 3 HS II is a waste and it still does crappy damage even shooing conflagration.
Did the math a time ago and it was correct back then when i did it and i doubt things have changed.
Zealot Damage:
4x Focused Medium Pulse II, DPS only with (Conflagration) and [Scorch], Level 4 skills: 0 HS II = (227) - [168] 1 HS II = (279) - [207] 2 HS II = (321) - [238] 3 HS II = (363) - [270] 4 HS II = (407) - [302]
4x Heavy Pulse II, DPS only with (Conflagration) and [Scorch], Level 4 skills: 0 HS II = (263) - [195] 1 HS II = (323) - [240] 2 HS II = (372) - [276] 3 HS II = (420) - [312] 4 HS II = (471) - [349]
Zealot had 7 slots to pull a gankageddon which was damage mods up the wazoo which is now nerfed.
4 HS II and 4 Heavy Pulse II with 10km optimal doing 471 DPS seems good, but then u have used pretty much all grid and cpu to do so. I`m not saying that it`s totally gimped, but it has lost it`s nichF.
Now over to Sacrilege which is a flying piece of crap, allthough i love the look and the ship in general, but there is now a lot of other HACs/Recons that can tank way better then my poor Sacrilege :(
Tanking was it`s deal, now it can`t do anything..
The whole Khanid design are a piece of crap and the guy that made them must`ve been in a coma when designing..
Sacrilege will get outdamaged by a standard crusader and the tank which a Maller can do almost as good and for a lot cheaper.
Now we got Pilgrim and Curse which are indeed very nice ships, but i didn`t train Amarr Cruiser 5 and Heavy Assault level 4 for nothing.
oh and 90% of the armor tankers use 1-2 Adaptive Membrane II which is 69.6-74.95 EM resist if i have done my math correct.
And now let`s do Amarr T2 vs Minmatarr T2.
Zealot vs Muninn
Zealot dishing out 19149451 DPS vs 95+ EM resist, i might aswell just throw rocks and hope i hit the self-destruct switch...
Sorry about this rant, i do argumentage very badly and i know all races got some issues, but Amarr is the weakest ECM resist in general and their weapons can be made pretty damn useless with 1 tracking disruptor or 2.
Oh and the best tank argument is so far out the window it`s not even funny in these times... I`ll fly my Dominix anyday over the Apocalypse or Armageddon
This is my lazy attempt to make an uber-signature, please go away!

The big issues with amarr are simple & easy to spot once you start flying them.
1. The bonus to laser weapons cap means you only get one bonus on every ship with it. Having a bonus to "USE" your racial weapons is like having a bonus on another ship to "use" a drone bay or "fit" a cap booster.
2. PG requirements on most lasers are quite frankly crazy. People often have to fit pulse lasers if they want to tank & if they need the range they simply have to lose the tank & even then its some times not enough to get a full fitting.
3. Cap usage. You might have a bonus to weapon cap but when you get to battleships you need every lvl in cap & bs as you can because the "monsters" people call lasers are like demons. A heavy neut blaster uses 18.2 energy a cycle while a tach uses 95. Even with lvl 5 in battleship you still require 2/2.5 times the cap to fire per cycle.
Granted Rails are worse, but lasers still require a lot more to fire per cycle. Because of this after you get over the problems with fitting you are faced with the problem of sustainable fire.... (at least on the Armageddon). Sadly this is why far more Amarr ships are using Ac & Arty. Easy to fit either long or short range set ups with no cap problems and an option of ammo damage type. They might suck damage wise, but for many it's better then what they had before & when people start thinking like that about lasers there has to be at least a few problems.

Lots of people in our corp fly Amarr, and cant say I have ever heard them moan about them.
And may I say from seeing some of our guys in them, punishers rock, one chap took on two intys and poped them both in his punisher solo earlier for example, and the curse is also an awesome ship, geddon is also awesome, oh and for those using mega as an example of a drone ship and can pick damage type, geddon has the same drone bay.
What I find funny is before the EANM II came out your typical exp,therm,kinetic tank had EM as the lowest resist on shield and armour (this is also still a fairly common tank) while kinetic and thermal were pretty highly resisted on both shield and armour making hybrids pretty sucky, but you didnt see millions of "ZOMG GAL ARE TEH SUCZORS" posts.
Nothing wrong with Amarr as a whole, might be some ships need tweaking, but the same can be said of all of the races, they are all different, they all have strengths, they all have weaknesses, they all have sucky ships live with it, as others have said this isnt WoW, this is EVE online and everything isnt equal and there isnt an ub3r race or an ub3r ship or an ub3r set up that will beat everything else.
Also dont forget not every ship in EVE flys around with 3 EANM II or 2 EANM II and a DC on.

Lower the cap use and and are you willing to lower the damage mod in return?
I have got to laugh when the Ammar pilots whine about thier damage type when remebering the MK2 thread...All the "why should I have to train another weapons system" whinne when the sac was up for disscussion...all the ammar pilots in sarmails khanid thread wanting armour tanking missilebouts also made me laugh a lot for teh same reason... ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self |

If the ships don't need to waste 1 bonus on weapons cap & i don't need to worrie about running out of cap just firing my bloody weapons then yes i am. After all chances are some ships could get a rof or damage bonus in replacment anyway.
It would still be nice to see the pg for beams lowered a bit & possible a slight increase in the mega pulse weapon range.

Your mis-informed. Anyone who mentions that Amarr T2 ships are horrible deserve only the gallows. But T1 vs T1? Amarr will lose every time. The only VERY good T1 ships are the Pilgrim (with good skills) and the Armageddon which bonus's actually APPLY to something useful. The Apocs cap bonus is crap. Add a cap injector or CPR and your already doing better than the Apoc.
Since when was the Pilgrim T1? Do you mean the Arbi? Some Amarr ships are still quite good but the damage types are harder for Amarr pilots to utilize effectively than they are for other races. ----------------------

Suggestion, what if all ships had their natural EM armor resistances lowered to about 45-50%. It'd still be higher than the natural thermal res, and Minnie T1 ships would have the extra flat 10% boost to their EM resistance, making it about 55-60%.
It would make EANMII tanks less effective at eliminating EM damage, and give back the Amarr's raw DPS superiority that they had prior to the armor resistance skills and the EANMII/DC tanking norm. __________ Spreading the word of Enlightenment with the grace of God and Empire.

Fantasic idea...you missed the second part out mind you...increase base shield EM res to what ever amount you lowered the armour res by...Not touching the other ships that have a EM shiiled res...

i'm assuming that by "'zap zap zap' mode of play" you mean our lack of versatility when it comes to dealing damage.
in that case your above statement is actually not entirely true.
being restricted in what you can throw at an enemy makes you predictable. in the case of lasers it makes you predicatable and easy to counter. (note: not talking about how you dont even need to spealize against laser damage to be tanked well against it.)
being easy to predict and counter does in turn make you "less effective" should you decide to fight against somewhat skilled/intelligent opponents.
seeing how your in charge of writing all those nifty little eon guides i thought you would actually know that much.
I think the real reason Amarr is so predictable is beacause they think they're so much better than everyone else! Religious fundamentalists cleansing lasers!

[shameless troll] the only viable ships in pvp for minmatar ships have rof + damage bonuses or a double damage bonuses. Despite it, our ships have amongst the lowest if not the lowest dps of their class. not really a bonus imo. (See how I just repeated myself).[/shameless troll]
Originally by: Commander Thrawn wrong, we have bad dmg since everyone even caldary with the exeption of a few ships armor tanks, and armor tank = eamn2 with massive em resistance. with the state of EW, "as you mentioned" as it is even a raven will armor tank and fit its mid full of jammers. Regardless, the majority of ship still armor tank. Now as per amarr having good tank. right now we have no better tanks that any other race. our supposed great tanking ship(apoc) has a bonus to cap in order to run its tank. Since everyone is using cap booster to counter nos, the cap really makes no difference. to a ship that can't do any dmg anyways and works better using projectiles than laser. so really the apoc has no bonuses.
That was my point exactly. You get one of the best damage "out of the box", and if it wasn't for ECM and EANM t2, you'd have one of the best damage types. So, whatever you say, your damage is not bad and doesn't need improvement at all. The core issues are different. (See how I just repeated myself again).
Originally by: Commander Thrawn your right everyone uses eanm2 tanks so everyone has 75-90% em resistance
And those who don't have to cope with the guns that have absolutely abnormal range, damage and tracking in the game, and either tank it with their 0% shield EM resistance, either tank it with their native 60% armor resistance (which is under what they get for most other resistances after fitting hardeners). Most of your guns don't need any boosting, at all. There are a few exceptions in the small and med class, that is all.
Originally by: Commander Thrawn he is right there are figure out there. atm do to eanm and the massive cap use of our gun, putting projectiles on amarr ships that do not have bonuses to dmg or rof if more effective
I've seen those silly figures and their are as misleading as figures can be. Most of those setups wouldn't even work on SISI FFA, let alone in any fight on TQ.
And this thread is really a bastard child of the other, the 62 pages long amarr thread, with the same kind of tired poorly though arguments, repeatedly defeated yet always coming back.

Originally by: Naughty Boy Their weakness to EW is a good thing, since they have good damage and good tanks. What's broken however, on top of ECM, is the balance of low and mid slots and modules. With ECM balanced, mid/low slot layout on ships and mid/low slot modules balanced, shield tank would be seen more often, balancing the damage types.
Problem here is even if every ship "designed" for a shield tank would use one we would have still about 66% armor 33% shieldtanks.
Mainly due to minnie ships being 50:50 armor:shieldtanks, gallente and amarr 100% armor and caldari 100% shieldtanks. Fixing the med/lowslot imbalance will reduce the problem significantly, but not totally solve it.

While I won't comment on what I think the problem is with the amarrians that post in that disgrace to a already rapidly in quality declining forum section cause that would get me banned in 0 seconds flat for excessive use of profanities... and a couple of other things. I'll say that seeing there's now what 64 pages in these 2 threads filled with "interesting comments" flying amarrian ships certainly doesn't do much good to the brain.
Only point of the OP that has anything meaningful to it is point 4. ( and then only in part, cause "cannot fit ... almost at all" is well a bit "special"
