Well GG Amarr/Caldari your dreads have just been nerfed into uselessness.
Why would anyone bother with them anymore when the Gallente Moros is vastly superior? The 3rd racial bonus for Rev/Phoenix is totally useless.

It's like if IRL I increased the price of my goods right before having them on sale, this stuff isn't only frowned upon, it's plain old illegal... Well that's the same twisted logic you're doing here, and frankly, that's something I'd have expected from 2006 EVE, not 2016 EVE.
Not to mention, guess what, that they also get the useless resistance bonus... On a ship that doesn't have the ability to receive remote assistance 90% of the time!
That's a huge plus wahn from me.
There should be a balance on Rev and Phoenix to bring them back into de rigeur. I love the torp phoenix as a pos killer, massive damage per volley, but its poor rate of fire makes its use negligible. Sure it will reload fast though!
And the Rev will not use so much cap doing no damage whatsoever. Fantastic.
You see where I'm going with this? Yet the Moros gets a damage multiplier AND a rate of fire bonus, while hybrids get to take advantage of their natural fast reload timer. Oh don't forget they get a local rep bonus too. All plus no minus.
I'm sorry but if there's balance in this I fail to see it.

It needs a bit of a test to really see whats going on. A phoenix blasting something that is webbed and painted to death is going to be... well... painful.
It would apply to all dreads to a degree though.
The revelation.. dunno what to tell you there. It might make a good beginner dread :-). We don't know what scorch will truly do to it though.
Without a damage application bonus, nothing. The cap usage bonus can be mitigated by fit or implants. Give me a damage application bonus, I will worry about cap when I run out.

Mizhir wrote:The cap reduction and reloard bonus of Rev and Phoenix are inferior to the RoF bonus of the other dreads. But they get a much better tank bonus instead (except burst repair), so I think it evens out. It also follows CCP's design strategy where Gallente and Minmatar ships are more offensive and more geared towards active tanking while the Amarr and Caldari ones shine in larger fleets due to better tank.
However that doesn't rule out inbalance and it does seem rather rushed (even though these changes have been on Sisi for a while now). Like the ASB Phoenix is going to be a ***** now.
Not really, better damage application beats tank. Dreads are meant to be throwaway.

Sadly very disappointed.
There is still much work to be done on this.
Still no reason to Fly a revelation, bad CCP.
I think the Amarr just wanted something to soak up damage for their Aeons when there are no Nyx's on their side.
"Shields? What shields? Oh you mean the Nyx next to me."
Maybe the Blood Raider Rev will be ballzout awesome.
