I've trained both Mini and Amarr command ships - I want to have the ability to armor and shield tank effectively in pvp.
Funny thing last night, I was noticing that there is a bit of a problem with the Absolution (I'm a little new to energy turrets)... but you can get under them.. meaning, at 7km pulse II's hit for full damage and under or over that distance, it gets bad fast - and the ship is well... slow...
For a Sleip (which I've flown a ton).. the short range 1.5km and falloff are easy to compensate for as you charge.. but for the Absolution, you need to orbit at 7km with scorch.. and.. well.. that's it - no drone damage (another bit of getting used to..) I do find that the web, along with a neut and lasers melt things fast.. but I was miffed at the damage disparity at distance.. I mean it's nuts.. 200 pts of damage to 41 pts of damage from 7km to 4km.. no room for error here.
No wonder they say it's so hard to fly Amarr.. I do think they ships look uber cool - that's why I spent the last 3 months training for them - well - I was kinda bored with duct tape and bubblegum.... and armor tanking is just better in pvp.. I just need to get over the range thingie..
