Grinder

[Tool of Society]

I was running last night with around 12% influence. I have one domi pilot that is able to get aggro just by warping on grid. It's the same bloody pilot every time and I can't figure out why. It's the second to last pilot to land on grid and for some reason sansha just has a major beef with that pilot. Anyway I was surprised to find that pilot taking more reps then it usually takes. I thought wow that 12% is worse then I thought. Well after running for a while I took a break and when I came back I decided to try something new so I refit using my nestor and then I noticed that the pilot only had a DCU II ,1600mm plate and an empty low slot for a tank (aside from the two rigs). No wonder full room aggro was hurting it (last wave ota and such). Having said that I was able to keep it alive relatively easily with basically no tank.

Bugme's build isn't actually far off from something I was considering as end game. I wouldn't go for the bling he did but I did think about changing the rigs. All my domis can use drones to max range in VGs with 1 drone link (81 KM and up range).

I will say that going 3x optimal and 2x tracking is way more optimal then you need for gardes. I'm currently insta-killing niarjas and tamas at 60ish KM easily with 4x tracking and 1x optimal on 5 garde domis. When I ran 3x tracking and 2x optimal I really didn't notice a difference at range but up close showed a slight dip in hit % in the combat log. Now if you're running two drone bunnies or can figure out a way to split damage then an extra optimal script might be noticeable.

When you tell 35 gardes to fire at a NPC do all 35 fire even if it's more damage then the NPC has in health? I ask because I have found myself waiting for the garde cycle time before any of the gardes would fire again. This was when I was running all garde domis and 3x tracking 2x omni. I would use my tp and the first frigate would pop before the TP cycle was over so I'd TP again and then wait for a bit before more damage is applied.


EDIT : If you want to run a shield domi then you're probably better off using a rattlesnake.
