I'm currently in a Dominix that can tank and complete any L4 mission. With Drones my DPS is 575. Note I'm using 250mm Dual railguns (not blasters).
I was curious what the "best ship" for doing L4 missions was (i.e. what can blast through them the quickest) and what the DPS of the recommended ship (and outfitting) is.
Thanks!

What "tricked" out Domi setup are you thinking of?

Do Sentries do the most damage?
Also, are there non-sentry drone damage rigs, or just sentries?
Is there a buildout for this "spec" on BattleClinic you can link?

So basically Caldari Missile Boats are where it's at then?
Nightmare/CNR/Golem seems to be the consensus.
I'm trained Gallente, so switching to Caldari will be a major switch...
Any other Gallente solutions?

I don't see how those builds would survive a L4 mission like WC (perhaps the second with hardeners), but where would you get the cap to run all those guns?
And with the 1st outfit, there's no hardeners at all...
Also, the Sentry Drones do very little damage above a T2 Ogre... so why use Sentries? Especially in a spawn/drone difficulty mission like WC?

So I wonder what max DPS flying Gallente would be for missions. Right now I can do any L4 solo; I'm just trying to get more DPS.
I could train to CNR in just a few days, but then I'd have to train missiles. I'm actually already well-trained in shield (I used to shield tank).
Just trying to come up with the 'next step' for doing L4 missions quicker and more efficiently (i.e. same tanking ability, higher DPS, faster movement/kills).

A ton of great information here; thanks to everyone for participating!
Looks like I need to get my sentry drone training up and that the Dominix is a "good" L4 mission runner. I can look at raising the DPS through better guns and drones and keep it at that.
I can clear out all of WC (including Salvage) in roughly 3 hours (note I use my Dom to clear, Catalyst to salvage).
I'd hope to get that time down to less than two hours...

Ok, I don't wanna shatter any illusions you might harbor, but I can clean out WC including salvaging the Angel BS (the only thing worth salvaging really) in 50 minutes or less...
Taking three hours is very very bad, and two will still be very bad.
This doesn't make sense. My DPS with drones is currently ~575. Do you have >1000DPS? I admit I can probably do a WC in ~2 hours if I really push it. Note what I do is clean a pocket, fly back to base, get my Catalyst, come back and loot, etc.
Can you give more details on the ship you use and how you go about cleaning up?
Doing WC in 50 mins... I'd LOVE to be able to do that...
Note the 575 DPS is what is reported by EFT.

Well that explains a lot lol. You are like doing it the most inefficient way possible. If you do it fast in one fell swoop, you don't need to come back inbetween. Every warpout before mission completion equals epic fail for any seasoned mission runner.
Ship I use for WC is a torp Golem. AB to the Angel Gate, kill the rats or ignore them using Zbikokis hacker card. Boommark the spot. Jump through, kill the stuff in room two, bookmark, AB to next gate, jump, kill the Aggro group near the Heron, loot the wreck, bookmark, warp home (Or optionally clear the Sansha side too or at least pop in there to see if you have a commander). Finish mission, come back to the bookmarks in my salvage hurricane, salvage the Angel/Sansha Battleships, return. Salvaging anything smaller than Battleships only reduces my isk per hour (unless it happens to be in range anyway), and salvaging anything other than Angel or Sansha/Blood is unprofitable by default.
I clean out every single ship (in both gate rooms) and salvage every single wreck (goal is max ISK). No skipping groups. I do try to time it so none of the wrecks disappear (2 hours on wrecks, correct? Even after the mission is complete?)
