Paladin if your solo running and want to salvage or Nightmare if you could care less about loot/salvage and just want the iskies, lp and jump clones as fast as possible. Also t2 fit it and spend all the isk on a hg crystal set so your friends in the Idle Empire don't 'get any ideas' so to speak.  |

i hadnt considered using a crystal set.
could you maybe post some eft figures to support your statements?
i am having severe difficulty getting a nightmare to produce a cap stable tank of 575 or more. whereas a paladin will do that very easily.
You don't need a cap stable setup when your boosting 1300 shield per cycle off a crap t2 tank with hg crystals as you only boost for a few cycles every few minutes or so until you kill off the aggro. Add some cheap or not so cheap faction hardners and amps and you will rarely need to boost at all. Bonus for having in the hg set is you can turn a normal gate gank raven into a tanking beast as long as the cap charges last when the anti-pies show up. Nice for that little gate camp you guys like to run. |

i think its pretty simple, if you need to salvage then paladin is better, if you just kill and want speedy missions then the nightmare is a little bit better ( the hits are higher dmg )
Pretty much what my first reply to the thread stated and there is another perk for the Nightmare. If you screw up and your tank breaks under full aggro you will have a lot more time to gtfo as you still have all that armor to go through whilst an armor tanker is already in hull sweating balls as he frantically tries to kill that last scrambling frig.

another benefit of the nightmare is you can very easily fit 4 heat sinks 
Plus with amarr bs 5 and a tracking enhancer II in the last low you get better tracking and optimal range than a pally with two tracking computers however you setup the scripts.  |

Nightmare with TE II and Tach II = tracking of .02751
Paladin with 2 TC II w/ tracking scripts and Tach II = tracking of .02994
kk. Still its too small to make any real comparetive difference plus you gimped your optimal with the tracking scripts and also what would it be with 2 teII?

Funny to see three pages of arguments when the question was already thoroughly answered in the first reply... 
Yes but they both perform so closely that we can argue endlessly for those 'hah maybe its not teh absolute best for that but its obviously better for this!' type infinity discussions everyone so loves.

did I mention I have connection issues?
Which is why we forgive you for pursuing the fabled cap stable nightmare/paladin fit. |
