Hey there guys I have been playing with the abbaddon (sounds bad) on the test server a fair ammount lately. I have been trying to get it to work out really well but am having issue with pvp and my lasers. I ended up smashing on a few people when i fitted it with large neutron blasters and a hot piece of tank... Lucky for me I think the people i was fighting did not fit nos or I would gone down pretty bad I think. My setup was:
High slots: 8 large neutron blasters
Midslots: 1MWD, 1injector, 1 warpdisruptor, 1 webber
Lowslots: 1 T2 repper, 3 hardeners (XP,Kin,Therm), 2 eanmII's and 1 magnetic stab 2
Has anyone found a better setup? or something totally off the wall I should try? I toyed with fitting 1 repper, 3 eanmII's and 4 1600mm plates. I was slow but **** 29.8k hp was nuts. even with lower resistances tearing through the tank was tough for people.

Edited by: Paigan on 30/11/2006 00:41:16 8x Heavy Nos
4x [what you like]
7x [what you like]
That's the best use for a abaddon imho. Apoc is a better laser sniper Geddon is a better laser ganker
Rokh is even more better in sniping Megathron, Hyperion and again Rokh are even better as Blasterboats.
So whats left? Use the high grid, the lack of cap and the resis plus high armor in the best way possible: Build a Nosaddon. Maybe with MWD. Must be f**** impressive to see that bolt rushing towards you at full speed and sucking you cap dry in a matter of seconds.
And would be btw the best capital killer available. -- This game is still in beta stage |

on sisi fleet stress test i was using:
high: x8 tachs t1 mid: lrg injector t2, cap recharger t2, x2 sensor booster t1 low: x2 rcu t1, x3 hs t2,x2 cpr t1 rigs: x3 cap rigs
got 8 kill mails using multis, I was quite impressed with the raw damage.
I think tachs or autocannons are the way to go with this one.

Best close range setup with the Abaddon is 800mm ACs. I am training T2 ACs for it now.
TBH we need a zero cap use laser crystal. Its the only way to tank it really.

I've had good results with it using Arty's or Auto's and a rock hard tank though for PvP I think I'll go with that Nosaddon setup. 1000 cap every few seconds, I could probs use a 4 repper setup with that.

try fitting it with lasers and maintain your cap, you cant.
As far a using one as a mission boat, dont even try. Using hybrids or projectiles might be the way to go. The NOS idea really might be the way to go. Amarr really dont have any electronic warfare ships as it is, abbadon might be it.
Personally, i tried it and it doesnt suit my needs in any way atm.

Obviously people haven't thought about how to fit it properly.
The ship is fine.
I can happily fit a Dual LAR II fully passive tank and get decent damage out of it no worries, while maintaining cap for in excess of 8 minutes.
And yes, that's with 8 turrets... and yes, they're large lasers.

You guys fit guns to your ships which don't recieve the ship bonuses, generaly with a terrible setup to boot, and then wonder why it sucks. Seriously Amarr ships (for the most part) are fine. Shame about their pilots. ---------

shame on the DHP setups cuz they'll be outdamaged by a geddon with a better tank and MP's, and teh geddon won't have to fit cap recharge rigs to keep firing =)

I think ur wasting ur time mate. 90% of ppl on the forums would rather whine and say u can't fit lasers than actually adapt and use their brain to fit it.
i have had some success with a 4 heavy nos, 4 mega pulse setup with cap injector and moderate tank. cap holds more than fine.
also with 8 dual heavies u can fit a very impressive tank and deal pretty good dmg throughout.
also makes a mean sniper with 8 tachy 2's, 3 sensor booster II's, tracking comp II, 2 tracking enhancer II's in lows, 3 heat sink II's. very nice alpha strike

Abaddon setups for close range? Eh? Why bother?
Just use an Armageddon, IMO. More damage, same tank(Abaddon fits injector, 'Geddon fits EANM II or extra plate), and does it for a third of the price.

you are not thinking. the extra mid is a huge deal for amarr and in what way does it fit the same tank? hav u even looked at the fitting stats?
fair enough geddon outdamages abaddon but to fit a geddon for big dmg it has a very weak tank. abaddon is better than the geddon for solo by far, u just have to realise how to use it

It may very well be decent for solo, though with all the Nos out there I doubt it. For small gangs, however, it's not. That extra mid means an injector where the Armageddon doesn't fit one. With the standard small-gang plated setup (3x plates, 1 EANM 1 DCU 3 Heatsinks) the Abaddon either has to drop a plate, EANM, DCU, or heatsink. Fair enough, it can drop a Heatsink and have 25% better resists, but then you're lowering the already lower damage even further. My guess is that the Abaddon would either drop the EANM and let the bonus make up for it, or drop a plate and let the bonus/extra HP make up for it.
And I'd hardly call that a weak tank. It's no good for soloing, but it's great for small gang. When the enemy is taking forever to chew through all that nicely resisted HP, your guys are cutting their firepower to pieces.
Extra fitting stats are nice, but when you can already fit everything you need, adding 4000 powergrid doesn't suddenly make it better. I guess the Abaddon could fit a rep-intensive setup, but with the capuse from lasers on this thing? I wouldn't.

Anyway, I won't be touching the Abaddon unless I or my corp/alliance members can come up with a setup that actually outperforms the Armageddon at something. No way in hell I'm paying 3x the price for something that might, in certain situations, perform 3% better than the Armageddon.
Best use I can think of for the Abaddon is a Tachysniper for short engagements that don't involve too much warping or fitting a MWD.

ok don't mean to be harsh here but if u fly a geddon without a cap injector then i have to doubt ur experience with amarr battleships. none injecting amarr bs die very easily and u say what does an exrta 4000 powergrid do when u fit everything but u don't fit everything on a geddon. there is so viable setups with mega pulse that use 8 high and tank anywhere near as good as the abaddon and u can dual rep the abaddon where as no geddon mega pulse setup can fit dual reps

HI's 8x Dual Heavy Modulated Pulse
MED's 4x Cap Rechargers
LO's 2x LAR (would be T2 but im not rich enough) 3x EANM (would be T2 but im not rich enough) 2x 1600mm Titanium plates
So...i have 19625 armor HP, 77EM, 54EXP, 56KIN and 63THERM resists as well as only half my powergrid and CPU filled (AWU lvl5 FTW!)
gonna try fitting some beams next maybe...or mega pulses...
edit: the cap is crap tho O.o

You're going to fit Megapulses and a dualrep tank on the Abaddon? Are you planning on using dual injectors, too?
And yes, I fly Amarr exclusively. No, in 95% of small gang fights, you don't need an injector on the Armageddon.
As I said, it also doesn't need to be dualrepped. That's nice, but it's more solo-ey than smallgang-ey.
7x Megapulses whatever in mids, 3x 1600 RT 3 HS II 1 EANM II 1 DCU is a very nice tank with great damage for a gang-Armageddon. The Abaddon will, comparatively, be trash. As I said, it may very well be better for solo- I doubt it, because of how much more important cap/NOS are in solo combat.
Yes, I fit everything I want on my Armageddon. All an extra 4000 grid would do would be to let me slap on an injector for those 5% fights where having it would actually make a difference, and I'm not losing my gang the extra DPS and utility the Armageddon brings to the table to fit it.
As said, a passive-tanked Armageddon has a tank just as good as the Abaddon. Will the Abaddon be better in dualrep mode? Yes. If it fits ACs.

-One idea I have been playing with (that has been mentioned here before) is the idea of fitting the abba with projectiles. -I think this would be an almost all too common sight in the near future for a vast majority of amarrians. We can tank and *gank* -With projectile we could pick our damage type... an amazing sensoation rarely witnessed by amarrians. Thus allowing us to attain better damages on more targets. -We would also not have a cap use due to shooting, this is an advantage to no end that the majority of people will realize quite soon with this new expansion. Minmatar and missile spamming caldari characters have now gotten a hidden boost that no other race can match. -Revelations appears to change the idea of "who can lay more hurt faster than the other" as it was in kali. to an idea of "who's tank can outlast shi* dps the longest" the game has now turned into a battle of tank/nos. no longer does massive DPS win every fight, instead you have to worry about smashing your opponents cap while sustaining your own. -every abba fitted soon will be fitted with
High:5 800mm ac's 3 heavy diminishing nos
Mids:MWD, cap injector, webber, warpdisruptor
Lows:1 t2 large armour rep, 4 hardeners (one of each)2 eanm II's, 1 gyro 2
Rigs:T2 armour comp rigs (adds resistance to armour) [xp, kin, therm]
I cannot wait to find the resistaces on this thing it should be mid to upper 80's across the board. if anyone has the ability to fit as such woudl ya and let me know? if its really as my *poor math skills suggest 88% is the average across the board.
