Kind of a longer post, but I'd really appreciate any advice I can receive. I've always enjoyed playing the healer and I'd like to get started in logistics. could use help
I'm intending to start simple. PvE stuff, missions plexes, etc. then eventually move more to PvP once I kind of learn the ropes
I guess the first question I have is which ship should I work toward first? I know that this is completely subjective and everything in EVE can be situational. But getting myself into a T2 logi ship will require a large investment of training time and ISK so I want to have a plan
most of my command skills are in Gallente ships so I was thinking start at Exequror and working toward Oneiros.
But then I thought of my 2nd concern: armor vs shields? if a ship is an armor repper, then when your pals are taking damage to shields you are unable to "heal" them am I right? Doesn't this basically mean I'm waiting for shields to go down before I can really even help? If you are supporting your teams shields instead, you are useful from the start, and even when damage gets down to armor you are still mitigating overall damage that is incoming. These are just assumptions I've made. Are they accurate?
Ultimately I hope to be able to fly several of the ships and fit many roles but right now I'm just looking for a starting point. So I guess what I'm looking for is a starting plan. What should I work towards and why? What advice can you give for a newbie trying to do this? I will really appreciate any/all opinions and input I receive. Getting in to this role is a bit daunting and I want to do it well.

that was the reason for me to tell him to watch that ironclad vid from R&K. There you can see, what we are talking about. There are guys (like me) who love that aspect of pvp and other prefere to deal the dmg...
That video is really great, thank you for citing that. very informative. |
