So u are fighting a dominix 1v1 how do u win?
Answer:u cant
Tech 2 drones maxed gallente bs skills plsu 5 med slots free for ecm A tremendous tank even if u can get a lock - carrying multiple drones so can change damage types.In 1v1 this ship is unbeatable and it is ridiculous.Remove or nerf drones - automatic bull**** should not be the uber.
Any suggestions on how to beat a domi in 1v1 welcome - I look forward to knocking them all down.

Ecm armortanking raven can beat the dominix. The other battleships in the game can warp home without even trying.

So ginger got killed by a domi then? 
Try using smartbombs to kill the drones for a start, then running a point of scramble and gallente racials :)

OK thre first 2 useless suggestions 1. fof cruise will not break teh tank of a domi or kill drones before u die 2. Smartbombs cannot be activated in empire
3.I did not die and I cant play my dearest GM atm so I am stuck with this relatively crap alt - but hes still better than u btw
4.I escaped with 689 hull in a jammed raven which was tanked for the damage type really there is nothing u can do but I open to ideas as I am out of em.

Sure its hard to beat a domi, but its not impossible. Use ECCM/ECM drones. Had a very good fight with a domi few weeks back and won by the skin of my teeth in my mega. :P /DeadRow, True Core |

This is the ship I was trying to kill domi with.Unfortuantely Domi alwasy locks u first cause of better sig and therefore ur jamed first.In any case no jam will work 100% of the time.Unless u can tank damage and do enough damage to kill domi u cant win.And it is possible to either tank or do damage but not both.

I love my Dominix. jumped through a gate a short while ago, only to find a Tempest, Curse and a Sacraledge on the other side.
as I prepared to get my ass rammed hard over the gate, I thought I may as well try to escape, and slapped an ECM on each of them. Got 3 jams, Lady Luck was obviously in love with my stunning looks that day.
I then of course proceeded to run away screaming like a little girl. ....but at least I still had my ship.

(FOF) cruise don't kill the drones, THE SMARTBOMBS DO. And you only equip FOF cruise IF/WHEN jammed, other than that equip cruise fury.
Smartbombs CAN be activated in empire... it's just that IF you hit SOMETHING that you're not supposed to, you get concordokkened. Other than that, smartbombs in empire IS a perfectly valid alternative.
And good luck with the (I suppose full NOS-equipped), jamming Dominix TRYING to get ANY extra cap out of you, with the SPRs equipped... you just fire the cap booster then immediately after the smartbombs... no cap left, damage dealt. I doubt you need more than 2 "smartbomb volleys" before any T2 heavy drone is a goner. And with no extra cap from NOSing, what's the dominix going to do for active armor tanking... use its own cap ? LOL. __ Always question everything. Including yourself. |

Nice one, but totally false ... you CAN activate smartbombs in Empire, you just have to avoid nailing Concord/NPCs/innocent bystanders with your damage sphere ... not too hard, since those things don't have a tremendous range ...
Of course, if you sit on a gate waiting for something to pie-rat, you will nail the gate, and subsequently get CONCORDOKKED ... too bad.

Edited by: XyzzyX on 26/09/2006 13:19:47 Smartbombs are only answer. One or two of them and you will face dominix with nos and ECM without any firepower :).
Simply be carefull with them and use capboosters wise.

Anyway to summarise
FOFS wont work Jamming wont work cause its not guaranteed and will never last the whole fight and doesnt affect domi much anywya as drones will still be doing max damage to u the whole time while at some times u yourself will be jammed and unable to do anyhting to the domi. Smartbombs cannot be used in empire safely and to destroy all the drones a domi can launch would in any case take more cap than u can fit to your ship even using cap boosters. So anyhting else?

1, the Domi isn't carrying a Scram so you warp off if your getting owned its up to him to make sure you don't.
2, carry ECM and ECCM, break his jam and then jam him.
3, Nos in your highs and cap boosters, use your drones to take his down while u pound his ship with your spare highs.
4, Cruise Nos the Domi and stay out of his Nos range and Use your ECM to jam him, his tank will fail.
There are loads of possible ways just think about it, the domi is a good ship but its far from invincible.

All rubbish 1.This domi carries a scambler - it has 5 med slots remember 2.U cant jam the domi the whole fight and it locks quicker than most other bs anyway plus has superior tank in most cases. 3.I always fit cap boosters but domi will fit the same so no advantage plus drones use no cap to fire.U cannot nos someone while u r jammed 4.Exactly how can u nos him without him nossing u? Heavy nos uses a tremendous amount of pg and has little effect on a domi unless u use 4 or more and then u have very little options for other weapons. And finally can u tank 5 ogre 2s firing every 2 seconds with wrecking of 400 plus.I could not tank this damage with 86% thermal hardening.

I take it you DON'T frequent the FD-MLJ FFA areas on SISI much, now do you ? I'd suggest you start doing that once in a while.
And YES, it is TRIVIAL to tank the raw DPS of 5x Ogre IIs from a L4 gallente BS dominix using a full passive shield setup on a scorp. AND you get better lock/ECM with it by the way. A bit harder with an armor tanked raven, that's sure.

A Dominix can be beaten, but whether or not you're successful is largely dictated by ECM. Yours and his.
Most of PvP is dictated by ECM at the moment, which is why I've hangared my PvP ships until it's fixed. Plus, it gives me a chance to pretend I'm actually good at EVE as I mash NPCs left, right and center.

lol did u even fight a domi yet ? 1st he wont use all his meds for ecm since the tank cant be kept online without a good portion of capboosters. 2nd stay out of nos range 3rd drones do somert around 800-900dps if maxed out. there are ships which do a lot more dps than the domi. 4th a dominix is only lethal if u fight at its range, if u dont warp out when the situation is thight and if u allow drones eating u alife while trying to overwhlem the domis tank. smartbombs are ur friend here, aswell as counter ecm or using drones by urself.
5th learn to fly before posting crap on forums plz 
and if that didnt helps: use a domi urself and take some friends with u the next time...remeber theres no solopwnmobile. and for gods sake whats the problem there are so many ppl who cope with the sitation quite niceley but still u rable about it. btw nos and ecm will get repaired/nerfed in the upcoming patch anyway. till then u should just fly in gangs to pin down dominixes and dont try takeing on a bs on ur own since theres not only the domi who can and will kill u in a 1on1.

OK so a scorpion locks quicker than a raven? Interesting.Secondly a dominix can carry 15 heavy drones.Any skilled dominix pilot will simply change drones to those than can do most damage.Are u sure u can tank 3 diferent damage types in your scorp? And thirdly how exactly will u break the tank of the dominix with your uber damage dealing scorp that has no damage bonus whatsoever?

IF you're talking about an ACTUAL domi setup YOU DO FIGHT and NOT about some illusory "but the domi I fight can also fit this and that too", then we can give you ACTUAL responses, not just rough guidelines (that you keep rejecting BTW).
So unless you GIVE us ONE setup of a Dominix you ACTUALLY want to fight, and STOP changing fittings on the presumed enemy domi, then we can start having a serious talk. Oh, an ACTUAL fitting, one that... uh, you know, FITS. And works.
So then we can see about what can and can't be done, and what ship/firrings to use to counter it. If not, go bleepety bleep bleep yourself. __ Always question everything. Including yourself. |

the short answer:
1 eccm, 1 sensor backup array
a dominix with 3 multis and sd level 5 will have much trouble keeping a jam on you
at least that was BEFORE the eccm got buffed.
however you still need a bit of luck

Good morning, how's the coffee?
There's a reason why nos, ecm and wcs are getting "looked at".
As for not being able to kill one, I don't know. Managed to bump into one with my blasterthron, classical nos-ecm-dom, and all it took was two failed jamming cycles and he was dead.
Real people with some guts fly blasterdominixes, though, without jamming. Perfectly fine and more like under-powered than over-powered, in fact could use a little touch-up in the PG department. - Three years old |

Hidden in there (and underlined by me) is probably the only reason for this thread : e-peen stroking !
ROFLMAO, my sides hurt ...
BTW, I'm proud of the fact that I don't know a single thing about PvP, I just pointed out that your "smartbombs cannot be activated in Empire" is totally false, but I keep coming back for more laughs ...
Heheh, yeah.
Most famous - I've spent hours on these forums every day at the office for the last five weeks, first I've heard of the kid.
I'm guessing maybe he's well-known at the local mall maybe?
And I'm a less than one million SP newbie, and I know you can activate smartbombs in high sec, just have to keep your head out of your a** when you do it.
But head-in-a** is what this thread is all about, isn't it? ------------------------------------------------ This sig is mine. There are others like it, but this one is mine alone. Mods keep out, or I will drop trou and sprinkle some tinkle in your Cheerios! -I don't eat Cheerios. -ReverendM |

A couple of possibilities: Curse with two nos two neuts and a load of sensor damps and cap injector arbiting at 17km. I think 3 sensor damps will take a domi below 17km range. MWD probably needed so the domi cant gain on you. Your cap should be able to hold aslong as you turn the neuts off when the target aint got cap left.
Gallente recon, use something similar to make locking range below your orbit and just keep at it until his tank fails.
Neither of these two will be fast but a good possibility of working.

I agree with the original poster, but its been that way for 2 years.  
Yes I know that but I have not posted before because I have maxed skills on GM for gallente bs and drones and thought I should enjoy the benefits of this overpowerment for a while. But nevertheless my main concern is the see balance and fairness in the game and the time has come to reveal the obvious inbalance in tech 2 drones and dominixes.Hopefully Kali will bring about some more balance in this area

Ginger the reason why people dont talk to you with respect is that you dont give out any its a 2 way deal here.
I have seen many valid suggestion that you have only responded to in a imature manner. Nos and ECM is being looked at so we know they are overpowered. Its funny you complain about them yet are happy to use the setup yourself.
We get the idea you think that this domi setup is unfair, but dont voice it in a way that make you sound like you want people to suggest setups, when you obviously dont.

Try ecm drones. Those might give him a bad time as he can't use himself.
Domi dps = ~450 OGRE2 -> THERMAL only
DPS lowers as you use kinetic, exp and em drones.
For example berserkers 2s do 350 dps:
XL2 + SBA + 2 invul field -> EXP ~80%, THERMAL ~60%, + 156 rep/s = you can tank both for reasonable time
2 LAR2 + 2 eanm + dc -> Thermal ~67%, EXP ~55%, + 141 rep/s tanks = you can tank both for reasonable time
For example if you engage 1v1 domi at a gate just aggro him and see how good he is, if you see t2 heavys just deagress and jump through/mwd out of scramble range.
Please don't nerf domi, but once we get ecm and nosf nerf I see Domi becaming the least used t1 BS in pvp
Some +'s for domi
1) Great tank 2) great for 1v1, small gang
Some other -'s for domi: 1) not gooed enough grid to fit Large Hybrids 2) 5 meds slots => not enough slots to go cap booster, mwd, web, warp distruptor AND ecm(NO, 1 multispec DOES NOT PERMAJAM BSes), so it means it has to choose either: Can't go regular with regular blaster meds as it would be worse than Megathorn, so it goes max 4-5 multispec 2, 1 no cap booster to run 2 LAR2 + ECM better, no mobility 3) Bad in larger gangs(heard something good about sentries, but that would has many downsides too) due to drone travel time. 4) Forced to use heavy drones => no antifrig drones, no ecm drones etc

Edited by: Miklas Laces on 26/09/2006 14:53:51 Assuming typical Vampdomi setup (Nos, ecm, tank, heavy drones):
1) DPS of a Vampdomi is average at best. With bs5 and tech2 drones (=20m sp char) it does around 400hp/s. People playing for less than 1 year will probably have bs4, drone-interfacing4 and use Ogre I, which means less than 300hp/s. Any Bs can outdamage that easily.
2) The Domi usually can't fit more than 3x Heavy Nos, so try to stay out of Med Nos range. Even if you are at very close range, a single cap booster will compensate for the Domi's Nos.
3) If you don't want to get jammed, fit ECCM and put 5 ECM drones (2 large, 3 med) into your Raven's drone bay.
In short: Vampdomi sacrifies all its high slots for Nos, which you can counter with a single cap booster, and therefore has a crappy DPS. All you have to do is keep your lock and shoot. Even if you "waste" one slot for an ECCM your DPS and Tank will probably be enough for a fair fight. And use your dronebay.

There was no lag, there were no invincible assault ships, there were no warp disrupting torpedo's, there were no invincible domi's.
There were 4 pirate BS's close range fitted 180km off the gate which warped to each other, feel free to look them up killed within 4 minutes of each other. So maybe you wern't working together and just happened to be ganged and just happened to have the close raneg fittings on waiting for us?
The fight was a 4 vs 4 with you in close range BS and us in a bs and 3 cruisers, how exactly do we avoid your definition of blobbing you - do we need to turn up in shuttles? Its odd you blaim the lag now, when we didn't get any and you didn't mention it at the time. Or is it just time to admit you setup a trap, we took the bait and kicked you into the middle of next week?

Dual rep? ECM yourself ( especially effective with the damps increasing lock time )? As you have pointed out in all your previous threads one of the problems you have is the domi locking first. A recon will lock first and the damps and ECM will make it incredible hard to regain a lock. If drones do get launched b4 you get a chance to jam 5 T2 mediums will eat ogres fairly fast. Also a the dual rep should tank it while you do.

Edited by: Rehmes on 26/09/2006 15:02:30 I suppose a Nanophoon could pose a good challenge to the domi. Its too fast for the hvy drones to catch it and ofc u have ur own drones/torps/nos to take it down. Btw main issue the only time the domi becomes deadly is when u play right into its range. Since uve been around for years u already know the raven is mainly a long range ship (even though missles dont have those restrictions w/e). The domi is itself mianly a close range bs, so if u wanna beat it u have to look into how to counteract his set up. Sensor back ups help, racial ecm/eccm will negate his attempts for the most part. Ur drones should be used to kill his; the domi dps is quite low w/o its drones, so try to simply have to dictate range and concentrate killing his drones w urs while u blast him with ur guns. ECM is chance based as u already know and in those circumstances even the domi can fall to a stupid pilot who simply got lucky. Perhaps u simply got the short end of the stick in that fight.

Guess you are only "most skilled" by SPs cause you cant use brain at all. Ever heard of speed tanks? Check speed on MWDing curse and MWDing Ogre2. And another hint: curse can happily orbit at over 20km with shadow serp scrammer (it doesnt cost much - got 2 of em 30mil a piece already).
But OMG DOMI IS INVINCIBLE !!!!111ONEONE
So use one yourself and buzz off. KKthxbye. Ah - and dont whine back when other ship will own you in 1v1.

I'm carebeer (gallante and mini ships) with little pvp expiriences but here are some theoretical calculations (i lkie quick fit and excel)
T2 ogres: 269x1,5x1,25 shields: 2 blast from large smartbomb 576x1,5x1,25 armor: 4-6 blasts from large smartbomb (depends on dmg type) no idea how many HP: 2 blasts from large smartbomb
Overall:8-10 blasts from smartbombs So if you fit two smartbombs on your free high slots on raven after 30-40s first wave of ogres will be dead. What should dominix pilot do? Send another wawe and lost another 3 mlns ISKs?
Even if your cap will be empty becouse of noses you can save some capboosters and inject them when drones will come to you.....
Situation on gate is more complicated becouse of sentries/concord :).
Which way are you going to nerf drones? Whitout ship bonus their dmg and hp even T2 is rather weak ...

Armor tank -> You had ecm? How did he permajam you? Was he expecting you to attack him in raven(maybe he fitted 4 caldari racials) as it seems you were expecting him to attack you. You have a whole 6 meds, 5 lows, 8 highs, 75m3 of dronebay to think a perfect counter-setup.

Originally by: Crom'ar Lev So u are fighting a dominix 1v1 how do u win?
Answer:u cant
Tech 2 drones maxed gallente bs skills plsu 5 med slots free for ecm A tremendous tank even if u can get a lock - carrying multiple drones so can change damage types.In 1v1 this ship is unbeatable and it is ridiculous.Remove or nerf drones - automatic bull**** should not be the uber.
Any suggestions on how to beat a domi in 1v1 welcome - I look forward to knocking them all down.
This is a bore to read really.. if you wanna see a domi geting his a** handed to him check this video out: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=383813 it shows a domi being likked at 10:30 of the film running. you wanted to see a domi killed right, here it is, and it's one on one aswell.
From the level of kill from the pilot you decribe his skills are high if not maxed in all departments, so you would need simular time in other skills to do this, I have seen a few ships take out a domi focuing at close range high dps shells seeminingly target painter and webber to get prime shots each time aswell as the painter boosting the drone damage, anyways if the domi pilot was as you said he could of had 10 drones in the air if he was smart about it..

200% bonus to Locking time when targeting Ginger Magician. +500% to Heavy T2 Ogre Drone damage when fighting Ginger Magician. 1000% Effectiveness to ECM Jam Cycles when Jamming Ginger Magician.
Also, when a Dominix is being fitted for the purpose of fighting Ginger Magician solo 1vs1, its slot layout magically becomes 8,8,8.

the domi is far from invincible, any ship wish a great pilot can seem un beatable to those who have less skill and much less experience in PVP it's not the ship it's the pilot that's the threat.. don't you guys see that by now?

Originally by: Crom'ar Lev Edited by: Crom''ar Lev on 26/09/2006 13:54:48 I'll stop posting when someone gives me an idea about how to actually beat a domi and backs it up with evidence.ATM it is clear that the original premise of the thread is sadly true. And yes this may be a character that I use as an alt but being as I have the most famous as well as one of the most skilled characters in EVE avalaible to be me when hes not banned then anything would be an alt. The fact is Crom is a well skilled pilot who can solo anyone in 1v1 combat but Domis are so overpowered that u just cant win whatever u do atm.

Originally by: XyzzyX I'm carebeer (gallante and mini ships) with little pvp expiriences but here are some theoretical calculations (i lkie quick fit and excel)
T2 ogres: 269x1,5x1,25 shields: 2 blast from large smartbomb 576x1,5x1,25 armor: 4-6 blasts from large smartbomb (depends on dmg type) no idea how many HP: 2 blasts from large smartbomb
Overall:8-10 blasts from smartbombs So if you fit two smartbombs on your free high slots on raven after 30-40s first wave of ogres will be dead. What should dominix pilot do? Send another wawe and lost another 3 mlns ISKs?
Even if your cap will be empty becouse of noses you can save some capboosters and inject them when drones will come to you.....
Situation on gate is more complicated becouse of sentries/concord :).
Which way are you going to nerf drones? Whitout ship bonus their dmg and hp even T2 is rather weak ...
Please dont post any more.You are only embarassing yourself. And plz try fighting a domi with 2 large smartbombs in empire. Let me know how u get on

It's a shame there is a valid concern, just the OP got it wrong, drones are fine and most certainly do not warrant 'nerfing'. ECM/Nos are however, a bit too potent at the moment.
As to the 'invincible Dominix', well sure it has 5 mid slots, but it realistically needs web/scram to hold anything in place, a cap injector is desirable to run a 'big' tank, an AB or MWD desirable for range control, and it really needs at least 3x ECM to ensure good success with jamming.
Clearly something has to give, and if it can't keep a target immobilised place - it can't win. I'm in no way saying it's not out of place w.r.t other Battleships - it is, but that's largely down to its ability against smaller ships, and doesn't make it 'invincible'
In short; it's a tough ship, and does need the ECM/Nosferatu changes to knock it a bit into line, but not through nerfing drones.

Nice one, but totally false ... you CAN activate smartbombs in Empire, you just have to avoid nailing Concord/NPCs/innocent bystanders with your damage sphere ... not too hard, since those things don't have a tremendous range ...
Of course, if you sit on a gate waiting for something to pie-rat, you will nail the gate, and subsequently get CONCORDOKKED ... too bad.
it wont let you activate a smartbomb within 5km of any gate, anywhere

Oh now "the drones" are overpowered, as if the NOS nerf wasnt enough, learn to play noob.. yes cause thats what you are. There are many ships ineffected by NOS, which can passive tank, or simply stay out of NOS range, or "oh noes!" fit a jammer or ECCM it self.

Originally by: Crom'ar Lev So u are fighting a dominix 1v1 how do u win?
Answer:u cant
Tech 2 drones maxed gallente bs skills plsu 5 med slots free for ecm A tremendous tank even if u can get a lock - carrying multiple drones so can change damage types.In 1v1 this ship is unbeatable and it is ridiculous.Remove or nerf drones - automatic bull**** should not be the uber.
Any suggestions on how to beat a domi in 1v1 welcome - I look forward to knocking them all down.
So, what youre really saying... Domi with maxed skills > other battleships with craptastic skills. And this is a surprise ?
Its funny how back in the day people used to laugh at domi pilots... until the vampadomi became popular. Now all they do is whine about how overpowered the domi is. The domi itself hasnt really changed substantially from what it was back then. Sure, the drones are individually more powerful now, but you can only field 1/3 as many. Net damage isnt much different. ECM has changed, but with the recent changes to ECCM and backup arrays, jamming with multispecs on a gallente ship is far from a guaranteed thing.
Bottom line is, you probably got pwned by a more skilled pilot. Accept it and move on with life. The problem isnt with your ship, its with you.

Try reading what I posted.NOsferatu may be overpwoered but its the damge of drones that is the problem.This damage at maxed skills is absolutely overpowering and cannot be tanked.Jamming will not stop drones from hitting u and to totally disable a domi u must destroy 15 heavy drones with probably at least 20% more than normal hitpoints due to drone durablity skill.It is a physical impossibilty that you could lock 15 drones and destroy them before your own ship is destroyed.And smartbombs will almost instantly drain your cap as well as their uselessness in empire space.
Like I said I had tanking of 86% to themal and I stil couldnt tank the damage.I dont claim that Crom'ar is the best pvp pilot in the universe but I realy dont see how even someone like Ginger can win against similar skilled pilots flying a dominix. The drones do a ridiculous amount of damage which cant be tanked and the damage needed to break the tank of a dominix even assuming u are not jammed is tremendous and as most battleships cannot both extreme tank as well as extreme damage u cant win. I actually lost a fight using a close range megathron on Ginger to a player of less than 1 year old which I talk about in my interview who uses a nos domi on me.

So, so wrong...
Why nerf an item that all ships can use (ecm) to balance the overpowered Dominix? Cut drone HP so that they can be killed in 3-4 smartbomb blasts and voila... Dominix now has a weakness... He won't be able to rely solely on drones for his damage and thus won't be able to fit all nos in highs, and won't be able to run that insane tank because of it...
It's the drones that are overpowered... Either reduce their hp or cut their dps...

Beat a 3x ecm domi with:
blasterthron with:
high: 7x neutron blasters with void L. med slot: heavy cap booster, 1 sensorbooster II, warp scram, mwd low: 1x eccm, 2x 1600 plates(or one damage control), 3x damage mods, large rep.
drones: 5x heavy ecm drones.
1000 dps, which beats his drones and his tank -> domi to the shredder.
Dont complain about overpowered ships, some people have awesome skills and hence are uber. Just find a way to counter it. It can always be done.

Its true a phoon can kill a domi if you fit 2 multi specs in you mids.And then a MWD + Disrupter.
But without using more ECM the only ship i think that acctualy stands a chance against it is the megathron.Its probably the only ship with enough gank that NOS won't have enough time to come into full.

Wow, I have no idea what all this whining is all about.
Yes the domi has a great tank due to the fact that it doesn't HAVE to dedicate all of it's mid and low slots to tracking and damage mods, however at the same time you could get the same tank out of any other BS if you really wanted to providing you had the skills to do so.
To even make a domi useful, you need well over 1.5mil SP in drones, as well as gallente BS 4 (and that's to be anywhere near useful). If you had that same amount of SP's into your missiles/turrets/lasers/etc, you would be nearly as effective. If the domi could fit 2 large nos and 4 large hybrid turrets, then I'd argue with you and say it was overpowered, but the PG on the domi really limits what large equipment you can use. I man an injector, 2 heavy nos, and 2 lars use up a good chunk of your PG.

Correct me if I am off, but with my figures I am getting about 480 or so DPS for a cruise raven with FOF missiles using the damage spreadsheet and compensating for the 75% damage reduction of FOF missiles. So his claim that the drones represent some insurmountable DPS seems false, unless one is willing to claim the same about FOF cruise missiles. And that raven will even have more mids for ECM although I am sure CPU problems start cropping up.

Tempest and Typhoon work great against Doms
In fact, unless said domi is using racials, ECCM will help you immensely against a Nosdom. Considering the amount of nossing/ECM ships around, devising low cap usage BS setups with built in ECCM provides solid setups. Using active ECCM modules, a plated setup in lows and some other modules to go with this ...
Outganking it with a blasterthron works as well, ECM drones, ECCM and cap injecting will rip the ship apart before your cap dies! ___________________________________________

Hi Ginger, why do you keep referring to your main like it was used by another player?
Either way, it does appear you are only here to talk and not listen to anything anyone else has to say.
Also, try replacing a few of those warp stabs with other modules. Your close range tactics must be rusty considering your overwhelming skills in sniping 190km off a 0.4 gate. :)

I still do not get how you cannot tank that damage. LAR II + 86% thermal resists mean that you can tank roughly 508 DPS - thats quite a bit more than 5 Ogre II (with maxed skills!) will do (they cap out at 475.2 DPS). The only problem now is keeping your cap, which can be accomplished by using a cap injector, right? So, HOW exactly were you not able to outtank him? Did you forget to turn your hardeners on?
Could the Domi pilot use other drone types...sure, but its quite unlikely. Any SKILLED Domi pilot wont have three sets of heavies, he would be way too vulnerable to smaller ships without some smaller drones. The saying "drone users can switch damage types" is just a myth if it comes to heavy drones. Any raven can do that far better, so if at all the raven (or rather, missiles) would need a nerf...certainly not drones.

The phoon can fit siege launchers just fine, as a matter of fact most pilots will use those over cruise in most occations.
Points that id like to make: -everyone can fit ecm its chance based so GM, maybe u simply didnt luck out. -just like ecm wont work on his drones neither will his ecm work on urs so direct them to kill his drones. -most domi pilots will have at least a set of lights or meds to fight smaller ships specially those pesky inties. -the actual dmg from the domi is very low so im sure u can outlast his onslaught (plz consider u will be taking his drones down one by one, and if he directs his drones to kill urs then thats dps he doesnt have on u) -in other words if ur killing his drones w urs then hes losing dps bit by bit (even by replacing them) while ur ship is doing full dmg the whole time. If he sends his drones after urs then better for u as his dps will decrease considerably while (again) urs remains the same.

Two Suggestions:
I, Please stop feeding the animal known as GM, it just makes him come back for more.
II. Drones are effected by ECM Burst. Zekes way of taking down drones, lesson I.
Step I, Since ECM isnt 100% full proof, wait for a failed jam cycle. Step II, When failed jam cycles accur, Jam the other player. Step III, When other player is jammed, drones still attack, unless you you jam the drones. Once you have player jammed, ecm burst his drones, and pray to god you dont get Concord'd.
Final note: There is always a counter to Nos, Cm, Drones, ETC.
Yes this works, Yes it happen to me, no I dont fly a domi but I do fly a Vexor and Ishkur.

Edited by: ozwald on 26/09/2006 23:23:19 domi would be fine if ecm was fixed, atm its a broken ship when using ecm becaseu of the huge advantage it has being able to tank, jam, nos and deal dmg all at the same time, i pretty much get annoyed by anything using ecm other than a specialised ship that was designed for it and given other weakness to make up for the inability to fire on it.
as for beating a domi 1v1, maybe with ew droens but you would need to be in the right situation getting your drones set on him before he jams you and even then its just down to luck.
If your not using missiles or projectile weps you will not have the cap to kill him anyway as you would have been drained pretty bad while you were jammed, and it comes down to can you tank his drones long enough for him to get bored.. if he is not jammed then no you cant becasue you've been nossed and have no cap, no cap means no guns for anyone other than msl's and projectiles, cap boost 800 wont last forever.
what i'm really saying is nerf ecm 
just my 2 isk. maybe right ,maybe wrong but i dont really care what everyone thinks of it anyway

The Dominix is dangerous, but it's far from invincible. I've fought them off with a Cyclone repeatedly.

I agree, Domis are scary, but they're very killable. It's hard, but how hard it is depends alot on skills, and pilot expirence.
I really don't think they're imbalenced. -------------------

So, let's analyze the OP.
First, he asks us all a question.
Then he answers it himself.
Then he whines about it.
Then, all advice given thereafter as to how to possibly fix his problem is whined at.
And I'm posting with my alt, because this seems to be the trend in this thread.

Use this setup to beat a Domi (keeping in mind both parties don't use ECM)
Raven: 6x Siege Missile Launcher II (Mjolnir Torps) 1x Large Shield Booster (Best Named) 2x Invulnerability Field II 3x Large Shield Extender II 3x Ballistic Control System II 1x Power Diagnostic System II 1x Damage Mod (best named)
But yeah.. With ECM a Domi would probably be the best close range ship.

Actually I have soloed more than 500 bs a tad more than u no doubt. But as far as I can tell there is no counter to the jamming and nossing domi in 1v1. I should give ECM burst a try but given the very low price this mod sells for plus the fact it is hardly ever menetioned let alone used I very much doubt it can disrupt drones very much if at all. Most xp players have posted here that the domi is overpowered.Only those who dont actualy know anything about pvp have said its not so maybe something will be done. As I posted myself GM has maxed skills for drones/gallente bs and ecm so any nerf if it comes would not be to my advantage but surprisingly enough I dont want easy Iwin buttons merely a level playing field so that superior skills and tactics can prevail rather than unfair and unbeatable exploit/overpowered setups.

Originally by: Crom'ar Lev So u are fighting a dominix 1v1 how do u win?
Answer:u cant
Tech 2 drones maxed gallente bs skills plsu 5 med slots free for ecm A tremendous tank even if u can get a lock - carrying multiple drones so can change damage types.In 1v1 this ship is unbeatable and it is ridiculous.Remove or nerf drones - automatic bull**** should not be the uber.
Any suggestions on how to beat a domi in 1v1 welcome - I look forward to knocking them all down.
Simple: Get a Dominix yourself. They are invincible, so you just have to wait for the other pilot to get tired of fighting for hours on end, and you can be declared the winner. End of story.

Sounds like your problem is more about ecm and nos than the Dominix itself...

C'mon guys, this thread is completly biaised, but it sure makes a lot of Domi pilots nervous

i am a newb
but from my experience thus far..nos domi's, skill point for skill point are insanly strong
yes they are not invunerable.....but in the situation they warp in on top of you at 10 k or less...target, Nos, jam, scramble, approach and bump you off alignment, all the while striping your sheilds with 5 ogreII's. this guy will drain a raven's cap to 0 in less than a minuit if hes running hardeners and even with cap injectors that's just more cap to fuel the domi's tank
if you jump them and warp to the right distance outside of nos range and are able to keep the distance u could win ..but chances of escape when they jump you pretty much zero..perfect 1v1 pirate ship

Originally by: Crom'ar Lev Try reading what I posted.NOsferatu may be overpwoered but its the damge of drones that is the problem.This damage at maxed skills is absolutely overpowering and cannot be tanked.Jamming will not stop drones from hitting u and to totally disable a domi u must destroy 15 heavy drones with probably at least 20% more than normal hitpoints due to drone durablity skill.It is a physical impossibilty that you could lock 15 drones and destroy them before your own ship is destroyed.And smartbombs will almost instantly drain your cap as well as their uselessness in empire space.
Like I said I had tanking of 86% to themal and I stil couldnt tank the damage.I dont claim that Crom'ar is the best pvp pilot in the universe but I realy dont see how even someone like Ginger can win against similar skilled pilots flying a dominix. The drones do a ridiculous amount of damage which cant be tanked and the damage needed to break the tank of a dominix even assuming u are not jammed is tremendous and as most battleships cannot both extreme tank as well as extreme damage u cant win. I actually lost a fight using a close range megathron on Ginger to a player of less than 1 year old which I talk about in my interview who uses a nos domi on me.
It's amazing how stupid you are. Of course damage from a domi's drones at max level is going to be high, that's its primary dmg source. That's like complaining that a max leveled blasterthron does too much dmg. Only when combine with nos and ecm do the drones get out of line. If you don't want everyone to think that you're such a tit you should also not flame every single person that disagrees with you.

I started out by giving a setup but changed my mind. I don't wanna give out the trade secrets. How about, you fly a domi and I'll fly a mega and we'll have a fight?

Originally by: Murukan Of course damage from a domi's drones at max level is going to be high, that's its primary dmg source.
The drone damage on a maxed out dominix is pretty weak. Drones do about 200 dps with 5 heavies, +50% for a dominix = 300 dps. (I'm using berserkers since I prefer them but if you use ogres you get 360 dps).
Other ships that get say +25% damage to large hybrids get something in the neighborhood of 150 extra dps (although it depends on your setup, if you are not setup for high dps it's +100 dps just like the domi).
