Passive primary tanks

[Ughmahedhurtz]

You are correct o find most raven's Active tank fitted

Understood, and the reading I've done explains why (BS have crappy shield regen times, making passive regen fits untenable).

You could easily spider tank with a BS setup, i generally use 1 BS ie: Domi, and then 2 to 3 Tengus/or Drakes and have them orbit the BS to get their angular velocity up and always moving.

Most of the time everything is targeting the domi which is easy to dual rep perma tank 1200+ dps.

I'd like to have the most DPS I can get (obviously), along with the ability to survive random spawn DPS on something other than the main guy. Looking around a bit more and doing some theorycrafting with EFT, I think I have a fit that fits the bill for "semi-AFK" missioning.

This fit is cap stable at 51% running the booster plus one repper. They'll get about 792/sec total with 3 single reppers from the others, or in rooms like Angel Extravaganza Bonus pocket, he can warp in and start his booster and have the other 3 run both boosters on him for 1368/sec, which should be overkill.

With regards to DPS, upgrading to the above fit x4 would take me from about 179 on the drakes to 260ish, which is a decent upgrade. Once I'm more comfortable with things, I will probably get rid of the shield boosters and just stick with two reppers each, which will allow me to swap some damage mods back in.

[edit] I'm about 11 days of training from being able to fit the above.
