Abaddon tanks much harder
Is a less obvious primary
Can field 8 heavy neuts, mediums range is too restrictive
Extra eHP means egress rigs can be used over trimarks
Makes better use of talis.
Only thing the dominix has going for it is the ability to field 5 sentry drones anything else wont be dealing any meaningful dps. In fact I'd say the dominix is probably one of the worst of all 12 BS for neuting, only the scorp, raven and maelstrom are worse.
Maybe if you are talking pure neuting ability. But by that measure why would you use anything but a Bhaal at that point?
So let's see.
A domi can't neut as well as an abaddon. But in addition to neuting it can get 475DPS out of a flight of Ogre II's. Vs an abaddon's 190DPS with 3 ogre II's. Or you can fill the HUGE drone bay with flight after flight of light and medium drones for anti support.
Bottom line, a Domi can do a pretty good job at neuting AND still put out a decent bit of damage.
And maybe the most important aspect. Cost. I can completely fit 2 dominix's for less than the cost of an abaddon hull.
I would actually say in some situations the Domi is far better as a result. Solo or small gang a Domi can not only neut but deal enough damaage to kill its prey. An abaddon may be able to neut better, but doesn't then have the killing power to finish anything off.

HAHAHAHAHA
You sir fail at reading comprehension. Come try again.
As a hint, I was never recommending a bhaal. And I was extolling the virtues of a neut domi. Maybe I didn't use enough    to make that clear for you.

Great, you have thrown together a fit that manages to neut stuff down and otherwise do nothing else. Great if you have a large gang and you are a dedicated neuter. Sadly however, if you are flying in a small gang, every bit of dps matters. Which is why you would bring a domi.

You'd be much better off with 1 neut Baddon and 1 DPS megathron / abaddon. You'd get better total neuting, better damage and it is much easier to coordinate.
Another important factor to consider is the makeup of your pilots. Not everyone has been playing X years and is cross trained into mutliple race's of ships.
I have flown a neut domi in our fleets. Why did I vs a neut Baddon or curse or bhaal? Because I can't fly any amarr. We needed as much neuting on the field at the time and this was the best neuting option I could bring.
I would venture to guess the OP that started this thread probably asked also because he can fly a Domi, and maybe not anything else listed in the replies. |
