I am wondering how viable this would be. Thinking more along the lines of an HP/resistance tank as the recharge rate is pathetic. My skills are pretty lacking at the moment. I have about 16400 shield with about 90% kinetic and about 67% thermal, this massively reduces the damage I take from Guristas as they mostly use kinetic missiles. I was thinking this could be quite good with maxed out shield skills, BS 5, T2 extenders/hardeners(using named, will have skills for T2 in a few days) and some shield extender rigs.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone tried it already and had success/failure?

another caldari passive thread 
Such a helpful reply... I ahve been unable to find any info on passive tanking the Rokh. In one of the Rokh threads there a question about it but doesnt seem to be answered. Aslo I was hoping for an indepth discussion about the Rokh AND passive tank. Not other Caldari ships and/or other Rokh setup methods. I think you will find no thread like this already exists, I certainly couldnt find one. Please post something constructive or keep out of threads that you have no valid input for.

I think passive tanking requires Shield Power Relays.
I think Shield Power Relays nerf your cap regen into nonexistence.
I think Rokh guns use cap to fire.
I think your Rokh is going to cap out just by firing it's guns.
I think you need a Drake or a Raven.
I think if you must use a Rokh, just use an active tank.
You dont think a pure HP tank would work then? If my maths are correct with all the stuff I suggested it would ahve about 30k shield. With BS 5 and T2 mods against Guristas it would have a kinetic resistance of about 92%, that gives an effective shield HP of 375000. I have no idea how that corresponds to an actual combat situation though. I would think it could do most level 4s against Guristas but thats just a guess.
I've seen from the other Rokh threads that most people use an active tank and it works well. I was just curious to the viability of a pure HP passive tank on it.
Thankyou for the useful input Marquis. Following on from our discussion about the Raven the other day I am now using your suggested setup for it (but with mostly named items, T2 in a fwe days). It is working very well for me, so thaankyou for that too.

Seems the general opinion is that it wont work too well which is a shame. I will still give it a try when I have better shield skills but sounds like I will be better off with an active tank.
Thanks for all the replies.
