Frigates: Punisher, Vengeance, Crusader, Malediction, Purifier, Anathema, Sentinel
Cruisers: Arbitrator, Sacrilege, Zealot, Curse, Guardian, Devoter, Legion
Battlecruiser: Harbinger, Damnation, Oracle
Battleships: Abaddon, Armageddon
All good ships that do what they are ment to do and do it well. I fly many of them and fight against all of them a fair amount and in a good pilots hands they can be deadly.
True most CTA fleets I see are either armour BS or AHAC's these are very heavily Amarr biased using Abaddons, Armageddons and the preferred AHAC being a Zealot so I believe there must be something to EM/Thermal damage. As to PvE can't say, only do it once in a blue moon so although I'm told by friends that do Incursions that Navy Armageddons are the way to go in armour fleets and the dps a standard doctrine Abaddon or Armageddon can put out in a fleet fight is well worth the effort as is that of a Zealot.
So all in all I'll have to say from my own limited experience and that of people I fly and fight with I believe you are mistaken. |

The Abbadon is in its own class because its bonuses are completey different than all the other ships. the legion is known to be the worst t3 ship in the game. The geddon has only 3 mid slots, nuf said. And the rest you mention are t2. With the exception of the curse, the others can all be easily overshadowed by any other races t2 hulls
That argument can be made for almost any ship in this game and is an easy out, almost everything has a counter and and ideal way to be flown. It is always easier to see the downside of a hull than to learn how to use it and master it's strengths.
I do agree the Legion needs love but any T3 ship is superior to a T2 hull just because of the sheer versatility subsystems allow you so being the worst of the four best cruisers in the game is still pretty damn good.
Punishers are excellent brawlers and if fit correctly and flown well can wear down any other T1 frigate in the game forcing them to run or face destruction, cap war is the key there. The Armageddon puts out almost the same dps as the Abaddon and while it has less (but still respectable) tank you can buy three well fit Armageddons for the price of one well fit Abaddon and they move better.
