Anyone care to share their WC domi set up? I want to start farming this mission, and was wondering what people were fitting. I have a Hyperion and a Mega, but wasnt sure they would do as well on WC. Maybe im wrong.

This the only high reward missions I usually reject in my Dominix for two reasons. Its way too much flying so if you use sentries for high damage you have to spend a long time flying after wiping out the NPCs. And if you use heavies this mission is the most unfriendly mission to drones there is. It is the only mission I have done where if you grab the npcs agro they will actually lose agro on you and retarget your drones, this is because the first room is so huge that the npcs have to cross into a different grid as they approach you I think. |

Then again WC4 first pocket, with multiple battleships, you can complete with 0 tank.
Just stop short of the range of the enemy, deploy sentry drones, engage till they are dead.
A domi is ideal for WC4 as can carry multiple sets of drones. Only drawback of WC4 is it takes some time to complete. While sentries great for the first pocket, the battleships in the rest are best done by heavies not sentries when they orbit too close for the sentries, and the frigates by smaller. As WC4 has two enemies, ideally you might want a set of sentries/heavies/smaller for each - even the large domi drone space isn't that big so you will need to compromise a little.
If compromise a little, could carry some sentries (long range snipe 1st pocket), heavies (kill battleships after get agro in rest), medium/small (for what the heavies have difficulty with).
My support ship is a domi with 7x expanders on it - ie no tank. It clears the first pocket while my main ship is doing other stuff. With 3286 mtr cargo the domi can carry about everything from WC4. I have needed to use the cargo space of my apoc/abaddon a few times when the loot exceeded the domi space, and once I over 300 mtrs of junk more than both ships cargo space combined.
The last pocket needs to be watched. Sometimes it is possible to get full agro without firing a shot. More common is to get 2 groups agro without firing a shot. Most common is to get 1 group agro. If you shoot a ship that has agro'd and it is in range of another group the other group will also agro. If you work on gank to survive, then you may lose a ship as lag will stop your gank dead. Gank without Tank and lag equals dead fairly quickly.
With the 2nd pocket (either) its mentioned the first ship can shoot the 2 spy frigates, but that drones or another shooting them will give pocket agro. What could be added is that the overseer can also give pocket agro if you attack it in the wrong place. Its possible to have like 13 battleships, elite cruiser plus change attacking if get pocket agro. You will want a good tank for that much agro. There isn't many tanks about that can handle a laggy pocket with that much agro so its best not to agro the lot. |

The only trick to doing WC in a Domi is to kill the two spies in the second room without using drones. Attacking the spies with drones, or even gang mates, will target full room aggro.
I don't remember how close they orbit, but it might be useful to pack a large smartbomb. |

The spys orbit like 7500'ish mtrs. Think it is bit more than normal large smartbomb range. Faction large smartbombs I think will reach. Not sure how concord will like some of those structures etc being smart bombed either? |

These should have all been fixed; CCP put a lot of work into either making them invulnerable or not making them instantiate a Concord Response. BUT it would be worth testing :) |

I've shot at the buildings in the second pocket before, and didn't get any Concord to show up. |
