Hi im looking for a setup no matter the cost that can tank a lvl5 passive with nothing on tow behind it.
Guessing a vulture would be the best choice for it but what is the magic setup for handling the lvl5's
I know there's alot of threads on 5's but non that actually can supply a real fitting for it.

Ver good vs Serpentis and Guristas. Don't use it vs Angels - take something else.
Vultures also work well according to the comments in that post.
Whatever you do, it MUST be passive shield tank fitted: The Neut towers are so brutal that they invalidate any other way to solo them.
NB : I consider either passive shield tanks or neut towers broken and in need of a nerf because one mandates the other. .....Of course, I'm just bitter because my shield tank skills suck monkey nuts.

Problem with that one is it doesnt hold up against minmatar nor sansha which are the ones we face the most. |

Just throwing out the first that comes to mind... would it be totally ridiculous to try and passive tank a Damnation or even a simple Sac against Angel/Minmatar? They only have four mid slots, but with the right resists and all those low slots for recharge something might be worth trying.
And I agree that there's something a bit off with the whole nos/passive tank setup.

Hrm, that wasn't specified in the original post.
Take a Sleipnir? T2 Minmatar should do pretty well vs Sansha rats. You really need a 5 Mid / 6 lowslot (or 6/5) layout to get the best out of your ship on a passive sheild tank, but it should be possible.
Like I said : read the comments on that thread for ideas. Also browse the rest of Battleclinic. There are some gems there.

Heh. I'm going to restrict my whining to Neut Towers in missions.... one tower is enough to break the cap on my armour tanked Ishtar and in some plexes I've seen eight.
Ship-fitted Nos and Neut have been nerfed back and forth repeatedly to get balance right(ish)....but the towers in L5s have yet to see any balancing.
And as if anyone ever runs L5s in a Carrier?!? In lowsec you might as well paint an effing huge target on yourself that says 'refit and tool up to scan me down and gank me'

I just think it's an uncreative way to force cooperation. They could at least come up with a few more.
Anyway, here's a Damnation setup:
[Damnation, Dedicated tank] Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I
Pithum A-Type Explosion Dampening Amplifier Pithum A-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II
Core Defence Field Purger I Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer I
Resists 89.8% kin and and 94% exp with shield compensation skills at 4, and recharges 168hp/s at peak with shield management/operation maxed out, which I assume a shield tanker would have.
No idea how much EM and Thermal you'll see mixed in with L5 Minmatar missions though, and that could break it...
Other than that, I guess there's only the problem of finding someone able to both use an Amarr command ship and shield tank well...
