Well, running my new setup, I was able to blaze through all of the level 3 missions I came across, untill I got to blockade
I mean, this mission is almost impossable to solo with a Passive Tank, I was rocking about 80% Kinetic resist for the Gurista verson of the mission, and I still got rocked
(the fact the starting group had a mix of 9 cruisers and battlecruisers didnt realy help)
The only way I was able to do it, was get help, so the solution is to get a bigger ship (in this case a Carrier) to help
But realy how in the hell is this soloable?
How were your thermal resists? Guristas do some thermal too I believe.
I've recently done the L4 'Blockade' in a Drake, and am currently running through L4 missions.
7x Heavy launchers (named ideally, maybe T2)
3x large extender II, 3 T2 shield hardeners (depending on mission type, using an invuln when it's just two damage types)
2x BCS II, 2x SPR II
3 Core Defense Field Purgers.
Gives me 18221 shield, and a 268s recharge.
With Invuln/Kin/Therm, I'm on 44/77/84/88 resists.
That's about 163 hp/sec passive recharge, which if they're doing kin/therm means I'm tanking 741 dps on the thermal, 1019 on the kinetic. I rejig a little the hardeners depending on mission, but I have to say soloing L4s is quite literally a breeze. Well, to be fair, I do alt-tab to my alt to scoop loot during the mission.
Well I dont know how you get 18K shield. I have Very good skills and the best I get is 16.5K with a +3% Shield Hitpoints Implant (I think I have the Shield Hitpoints skill at lvl 4)
Anyhow I use this setup
7x Best Heavy Launchers you can Fit XR-3200 is a Good Balance for Price vs Performace
3x Tech II large Shield Extenders 3x Rat Specific Shield Amps Tech II
4x Shield Power Relays (these Do not need to be named the basic ones will do)
3x Core Defence Field Purgers
It is a Totally Passive Setup and requires no cap to run with my skills gives me 16K shield (without an implant) and a 170-180 Shield Per sec peak recharge Rate (forgive me for not giving exact figures but these are close)
With Rat specific Shield Amps and Good Shield Compensation skills you should get 60 - 80% resists depending on how you stack the Amps.
If you feel you dont need the tank so big swap out a Shield Power Relay for a Ballistic Control or 2. a Tractorbeam is useful in the last slot.
Also if you have the skills and isk You can Use an all tech II/faction setup with implants to have a Crazy crazy passive tank with very good damage output.
