Does anyone actually use them?
I haven't really looked at them until today Lol I noticed 1 major issue!
The heavy assault missile launchers have -100% resist I wasn't sure if I was reading it correctly because it seems unreasonable so I put them on a ship and sure enough my total ship resist was 0% on a legion.
I imagine you will need some major remote reps or armor repairs to even have the slightest chance to survive and decent amount of damage.
I'm wondering if people actually use them? If not then why even keep them in the game?
Explains why they are only 6 mil in jita. |

Try either the 'Blighted' or the 'Stigmatic' launchers. Much better resist profile.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

If you're going into a fight where taking any damage whatsoever is either not going to happen, or would cause an automatic loss, why bother with tank? See: various gank ships, stealth bombers, etc. And, continuing along that train of thought, if you're not bothering to fit any tank in order to maximize damage (or whatever else), what about fitting negative tank (actively damaging your own tank) in order to have even more damage?
That's where polarized weapons fit in. Their uses are few and far between, and they need to be used with care, but they do have some use.

Thanks for the comments..
I can see them being good for hit&run situations
On the legion with heavy tech 2 Dps was around 570 With faction heavy launchers it was 649 Dps And polorized was 769 Dps I believe. Those numbers are probably off by a couple Dps And this is with only 2 ballistic for extra damage.
Thrasher sounds like a good choice tho :-) |

Fitting Corp name....
I've used polarized weapons to good effect once......it was a fight I was going to win regardless. Polarized ac's just made it faster.
That being said I would use them again.

Who ever using polarized weapon is bad and should biomass himself, the only weapon can use is polarized torpedoes and only on stealth bomber in gang, Your range and cloak are your tanks specially that Stealth Bombers are bonused so they can fire torpedoes up to 90km away. We usually go with 3-4 polarized bombers in 30-40ish bomber fleet when we hotdrop a carrier, their overheated torpedoes can break triage carrier's rep and do scary dps.
Rest of weapon systems are useless, they are reducing your resistance to zero and you can be melted in seconds.You will notice that all polarized weapons are short range weapons, means no polarized rails, beams, artillery or cruisers, because if that was the case they might be useful.

If the Polarized weapons are short-range, then I would presume their intent is for hit-and-run tactics - jump in/move in close to the enemy, tear them open, and then use something like the Micro Jump Drive to book it out of there. |

Coercer and Scorch S would like to have a word with you.
You generally fit a Coercer like a big gun for kiting purposes anyway, so why not take it a step further? Polarized Small Focused Pulse Lasers, 2 heat sinks, TE, triple locus rigs and you'll do 410 DPS with Scorch out to 20,7km. Remember seeing someone earlier this year using it to great effect in FW plexes for melting frigs. |

I made some nice cash on polarized weapons on the market. At that times some of them went for 25 millions. Buy low, sell high. :D |

Polarized weapons are ideal for non consensual PVP, structure bashing, and PVE blitzing anything you can sig tank.

Polarized weapons are meant to be used on ships that need to be killed fast or ships that offer little resistance.
Polorized weapons are meant to be used on the golf course or while shopping in very rich neighborhoods.

Wait..polarized weapons can use tech 2 ammo (like Scorch) ?
Honest question, I've never used them.
I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it.
Yes, I do feel bad about it.
