What damage sentry guns do and what are good resist values to have to be comfortable with tanking them? Also, is it necessary to fit plates/shield extenders when doing low-sec camping?

I find, according to EFT, sentries do about 300 dps, so if your setup can tank 300 dps, that's just barely enough to keep you alive with sentry guns on you, not other ships as well.

Sentries do all types of dmg but i think mostly that races (don't quote me on that) and they do around 600 base dmg (unmodified before resists) and have a 2 second rof. Their the numbers i work off and their quite close

They do around 340DPS, heavy KIN/THERM, aprox 32% each, and then 18% EM and 18% EXP. You need to be able to tank a lot more than that though or an Interceptor that does 50dps will ruin your day.

crap fitted passive Moa with a 24k scram will tank gate guns all day. Wont tank the blob that shows up after you pop some haulers though.

I was surprised at how accurate this was in practice to be honest. __________________________________________________ Sup brosef! Destry's Lounge is looking for a few good drunks - contact me in game.

DPS per sentry gun is 32 EM/32 Exp/56 Therm/56 Kin. That works out to 352 DPS, of which 18.18% is EM, 18.18% is Exp, 31.81% is Therm, and 31.81% is Kin. Hope that helps.

Edited by: Adjasarcanter on 29/01/2008 17:40:17 There are so many threads on tanking sentries and how much DPS they do, but when you actually get down to it it's not that difficult to tank them. All you need is a good amount of overall hit points (usually in the form of shield extenders or armour plates) halfway decent resists and a repper and you can survive for longer than you would think. My best advice is to get on SISI and play with stuff until you find what works with your skills.
Also, remember, if you have a gang with you (or drones for that matter) the sentries will change targets randomly every 30 seconds so you won't be under continuous fire from all the guns unless you're solo.

Simply put, even if you are in a ship that can't perma tank sentries there are things that can keep you alive long enough to get the kill.
You need a drone bay and reg T1 drones, deploy them before you engage. The sentry guns love killing drones so let your drones get killed and absorb the sentry damage.
The bigger the drone bay the more buffer you have. This works well with Gallente AF for instance, anyhow just a heads up.

I see them docked in low-sec all the time.
