ôBut with pasive tanks I dont see any reason not to. So please give me some constructive critism why this setup sucks so badly.ö
Why fit a tank that tanks say 50dps on shields and 0dps on amour when you can make one that tanks 200dps on shields and has just as many hitpoints as a mixed tank? Due to splitting your tank between amour and shield you will get into a situation where someone breaks the shield tank, then breaks the amour tank while if you focus on 1 method only they might not break the tank. Say someone does 200dps you shield tanks dies over time then the amour tank dies. Now focus on shield tanking only and instead of dieing you live.
I donÆt know what the precise number is but if anyone does just enough to break your shield tank then you would have been better off without the amour modules and a better shield tank. Also at any given monument half your tanking modules are sitting about doing nothing.
Take the 2 RCUs itÆs a waste. You could fit PDS T2 and boost your shield tank while also getting more cap and more powergrid. You spent 3 slots on boosting resistance on amour and 3 slots on shield when you could spend 5 slots on shields resistance not that I would recommend that. 3 slots is enough then spend the other slots on boosting the tank.
It all comes down to if someone can break you shield tank he or she will break the amour tank. Scarp your amour tank and fit 2 or 3 PDS then shield relays or more PDS and you will more then triple the power of your tank.

ôThen your tank doesnt matter for much and when you reach armor/hull you die in seconds when instead my setup has an effective 60k HP, 10k sheilds, 14k armor and 6k hull all with 50% or higher resists.ö
Unless my memory is playing tricks on me a pure shield tanks has a lot more then 60k effective hitpoints. But I cannot test right now as at work.
ôPottsey but I dont think I could personly use such setups since your cap recharge gets so heavily nerfed.ö
Use PDS and you get tons of hitpoitns and tons of cap. There is no nerf to cap recharge only one very large boost. My Passive shield PvP setup has tones of cap and 4 cap neats which are better then Nos.

Cividari post here or mail me any setups you want checking. I will do my best to try tonight in game. Never looked at the hitpoints since the change my 60k comment was pre Kail.

I just logged in and got 28340 shield hitpoints not factoring in resistance overall more then 60k total hitpoints best of all 74HP/s and 48cap/sec.

I have max shield skills all at lvl 5 with implants and a full set of T2 modules. I left 2 slots free for resistance as the only invul fields I have are better then T2 so I didnÆt think it was fair to use them. The 10k diffrance is mostly due to T2 modules over named and the skills.
EDIT: http://www.dissonance-corp.com/screenshots/25k.JPG
No Damage controle didnt have one in the local star base and didnt feel like flying around so there is an extra PDS T2 fitted.
EDIT2: No rigs fitted.

ôAh ok, so your mediums are 3 extenders and 2 invuls? That means no scrambler? :(ô
Errr what can I say? Sorry I made a mistake as I totally forgot about the scrambler which means I had 1 to many extenders fitted. So much for my far comparison.
