Sir Bart Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.27 18:52:00 - [1] The main reason people say they are broken is because of Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II (EANM) modules. They are common on armor tanks and since armor already has good em/therm resistance, they get 2x as good of a tank against Amarr as compared to anyone else. (this is one of the reasons AC's are so good too, they do the right damage types against EANM tanks. For close range weapons I think both autocannons and blasters are better (because of tracking as well as the less dependancy on cap). For long range weapons and capacitor Amarr have the best ships. Their snipers do the most dps (although the rokh's range bonus kinda trumps dps). The beam weapon and capacitor superiority become especially apperent in the capital ships. Revelation with beams does the most dps of all dreads at all ranges (provided they are also using their long range weapons. Also, the Archon carrier has a great capacitor. -Bart CCP: please fix the asteroids in the new regions.

It only has 3 guns. The Minmatar dread fits 4 guns/launchers and has a bigger RoF bonus for launchers. And yet it still can't keep up with a Revelation. There's 2 reasons. First reason is that beams do significantly more dps than both howitzers and capital launchers. Second reason is that damage modules on a rev affect 3 guns, damage mods on the Nag affect 2. Perhaps a Nag with a shield tank (so low slots can be used for dmg mods) and setup for only close range (no range mods being used) could out damage a Rev but otherwise it's a pretty uphill battle.

Sir Bart Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.28 06:46:00 - [3] Originally by: Xequecal The numbers just don't seem to lend to the Amarr dread doing significantly higher DPS. Are you sure you're not seeing higher DPS because you mostly use them to reinforce POSs, which consists of shooting at shields with low EM resist? Pretty sure you haven't checked the numbers... damage multiplier / rate of fire is higher on dual giga beams than any other long range dread weapon. Since Revelation also gets a damage bonus and no other dreads get more than 1 damage bonus that's all you need to take into account. I'm telling you dps without considering resists of what you're shooting. iirc @ 150 km, moros gets 1800 dps and revelation gets 2500. It's not even close. @ 200 km, rev still wins by a large margin. At 50 km... (provided everyone uses their long range guns) rev wins again at around 3500 dps. -Bart CCP: please fix the asteroids in the new regions.
Sir Bart Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.29 06:06:00 - [4] Originally by: Goumindong 8 x 800mm II repeating artillery Heavy Injector II, InvII, InvII, XL Shield Booster II, SBA II, 1x Em hard[or another SBA, or another INV II depending on rigging choices] DCII, 3x Gyrostabalizer II, 1x Co-proc 4x Ogre II z DPS w/ Hail = 1143.417 DPS w/ Barrage = 952.44 due to resistances, it will actualy out gank a full gank hyperion O rly? I can get 1455 dps out of a Hyperion. Granted AC's are better vs Armor and Blasters are better vs Sheilds but Blasters are pretty good vs both sheilds and armor. Overall I like the Maelstrom more than Hyperion (because of the rate of fire bonus that they can have without affecting cap usage of guns) but when it comes to killing a battleship as fast as possible, I don't think any BS can match the Hyperion. -Bart CCP: please fix the asteroids in the new regions.
Sir Bart Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.06.02 04:31:00 - [5] Originally by: Goumindong No you cant. 3 MFS and max skills is 1336 DPS with max skills and drones. Funny how I get 1455 then isn't it? I'm using 4 MFS, 8 neutrons, void ammo. 5% damage implant. 4 ogres. With rigs I bet I break 1500 dps but haven't tried it yet. -Bart CCP: please fix the asteroids in the new regions.

I have the skills all maxed execpt large spec (which is 4). Edit: fixed calcs with rigs that actually fit on there. :) CCP: please fix the asteroids in the new regions.
