is the secret stage to Angel Extravaganza L4 the hardest part of any mission to tank?
I am playing with some numbers... and wanted to see how fast various tanked battle ships and battle cruisers would crumble in the hardest mission.
I am not counting accidentally aggroing a whole level of dead space when you don't have to... that is a screw up or bug. I am talking something like the final part of AEL4 where you are going to fight that entire room at once.
Other than DED complexes (10/10 etc...) what is the hardest thing to tank mission wise?

Quutar,
I would venture that Mordus Headhunters second stage is quite difficult to tank. I can do it, np, but it takes more concentration than certain other missions.

and i, on the other hand, can do mordus lvl4 easily,
but have troubles with zazzmatazz or the new "pirate slaughter". maybe because im in a domi, but theres a lot of aggro going on 3 minutes after you enter the first/second pocket.

Zazzmatazz is easy, just dont fit thermal hardeners and kill zor first (he is the only one that does thermal damage)
enemies abound can be tricky, not sure about others.

The only mission I come close to my Nighthawks' tank failing now is Gurista's Pirate Slaughter on the final stage, I can do it by just moving away from the spawns but it can be hairy at times. I wouldn't like to try that in a 'normal' ship.

The hardest Mission to tank is the Lev.4 Angel Extravaganza Bonusstage!

Hi Mo,
yes, I can do the Mordus headhunters easily too, but like you say, it's 'horses for courses' with different ship types.
I fly a Raven for my missions and find the Zazz a breeze, but I can imagine how it may be in a Domi. What other missions do you find it easy/awkward to do in a Domi?
I only ask because I have Gall BS 4, and Gall Heavy drone spec 3. I was thinking about trying a Domi out on a ffew level 4's.
Ultimately it'd be great to have several BS, with each one used for specific missions.

Then, youre talking about finnishing a mission - not tanking it. I can do the Angel Extra bonus, I can however not tank it.
I'd say its one of the hardest though. Especially for an armor tank.
For second place, In the midst of deadspace, 4 of 5.
Oh, and of course Worlds Collide - where each spawn issnt to bad, but its impossible to avoid aggro except for when going solo and droneless. Once again - its not hard to complete - but its hard to tank.

Shipyard theft.
The normal angel mob you find in the extrva are replaced by multiple nephilim's, seraphim's and cherubs.
Those hurt like hell, no matter how good your cnr is, with them all blasting you ofc
I could well see how the 2nd stage of the mordus would be tough without the right ship though

What exactly does it take to tank that by the way? Can it be tanked solo or do you need sheild xfer ships? As it stands the only way I've been able to complete it is to get to 120km before I start firing and warp out once the heat gets turned up to high. Repeat until it becomes tankable.

I did some pie in the sky designs with rattlesnakes and officer mods... was able to tank the theoretical dps output of the hidden level of AEL4 (scary ship, dual officer heavy nos. gist booster with estimel's boost amp and three estimel invulnerabilities... plus estimel's bcu and other officer pds and cap recharger)
with rigs entering the game... I was curious if they would allow for a cheaper "super tank" raven... and wanted to see what the hardest mission to tank was
after all... need high goals to dream.

Last stage of Pirate slaughter and Worlds Collide.
I literally freaked out when I saw the damn HAIL of missiles coming toward me on Pirate Slaughter. Praise the emperor for no scrams.
