Right now I have one pvp character who is training for deimos/ishtar but currently flying a myrmidon. What do you think would complement that best for solo (2 character) gatecamping? I was thinking something Amarr so they could drone rep each other. Of course I'm not looking for the "best ship in EVE" just suggestions for a specific purpose.
Is it worth also training a character just to sit in system cloaked and provide gang bonuses?
Thoughts?

Falcon.
But seriously, more people should have some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post. |

I wouldn't suggest getting a Falcon alt actually, with how OP (imo and many others') they are by the time your alt trains to use them they will probably be rebalanced or nerfed.

1. Solo gatecamping is a recipe for disaster, even if there's "two" of you.
2. Gate camping and depending on drones for anything is same recipe. Sentries will kill your drones.
3. Falcon (or Blackbird until it has the skills for Falcon).

Deimos and ishtar are two entirely different balls of wax. Figure out which one you wanna fly and learn how to fly it (not just skills - learn the ships strengths, limitations, abilities etc.).
Deimos will not last against gate guns. A plated ishtar might - but probably not against gate guns and an enemy combatant.
If you're looking for a good PvP duo, train your other toon to fly covops probers and get off the gates.

have to agree, 2nd account should be a jammer. since you have to tank sentries, iŠd go for a scorpion. if not jammer then a minnie webber, but the recons will have a hard time to tank the sentries i guess (i havent done any of this btw).
but the idea of "solo" camping a gate doesnt sound too good of an idea.

EDIT: solo gatecamping probably would be a disaster like you said, so I changed the idea for my alt's purpose.
I agree training falcon FOTM is probably ill advised. Amarr have been waiting years for a buff, but you never know... What do they have now that would make a decent matchup?
Deimos I thought was a glass cannon. Ishtar is maybe more balanced? Also I guess you don't have to worry about jamming and can kill at range (even without nanos).

Dooing solo PVP wiht 2 Accounts at the same time is a clear fail in catching the theme of Solo PVP. 
On the other hand, Falcon is quite nice, you canŠt realy do solo PVP without them anymore(as a simple counter against other Falcons). 
Think for your kind of Job Amarr will be fine, since Abaddon is great for station/gate camping because of the big HP buffer.

what? The resistance changes was a huge buff. If you want to go Amarr, get an Abaddon.

Learn to read. The OP said he wanted his duo to be used for empire wardecs on mining corps.
Now to to answer the OP... the myrm is a great ship still, and if your looking for a great pair to go with it I would suggest something like a ruppy or a vexor, my reasoning is that you'll want something to dish out DPS while you use the myrm as bait or support... the mrym can field 75m3 of drones but also has 6 unbonused high slots for reppers and energy transfers, use egress rigs and talismins on the myrm pilot. You may also want to go for something like the curse on your alt.
Either way you look at it theres lots of synergies you can use haveing 2 ships that you are piloting.

Covops.
Find targets without showing your hand, bust missions, watch your back, gang bonuses when solo, etc.
Falcons are for failures.

2 X Neut / RR Domis.
[HIGHS] RR / heavey Neut II
[MEDS] MWD / web / point / cap boost / sensor boost / ECCM
[LOWS] Plate / resists / rep / ????
Pretty safe with that although may have to watch drones, should be quite easy to escape small gangs, align, neut tacklers (neut IIs got longer range than T2 distruptors), warp.

solo pvp duo ?  This one is funny.
More seriously, find what works best for you or what you like best as everyone will have different opinions. There's no shame in trying out of the box combos.
If you're looking for efficiency, go for the covy alt. If you don't mind being called a spineless basterd with a mangina, get him in a falc. But all you need is a scout really.

I'd vote Heavy dictor and cloaky hauler scout alt. Or cloaky ishtar scout alt. Sit nicely 200km off the other side of the gate aligned for it.. etc.
Fun ensues=)

Pretty safe with that although may have to watch drones, should be quite easy to escape small gangs, align, neut tacklers (neut IIs got longer range than T2 distruptors), warp.
Then 1 falcon comes along and jams you both anyway and keeps tacklers alive.
Lets face it, falcon is the best choice just because it always can jam to gtfo ... you will always win if your against 1 target just because it will be perma jammed ( IF its got something like 2 eccm you will still get a jam in every other cycle). And if there are 2-3 enemy's you will jam 2 of them perma and the 3rd on and off.
Oh and with the speed "balance" falcons will be extremely hard to get to and catch.
(oh and a good scout)
