    whisp, keep up. An active tank module that reps a finite amount of times is basicaly delayed EHP.

    Yeah, what he said. I freely admit my general noobness though, so if there is something wrong with the above logic, please enlighten me

    its the simplest metaphor for how it works in practice, but it's not entirely accurate.

    technically if the incoming DPS is less than shield EHP/60 you can reload in time and tank as long as you have boosters, but that doesn't really happen very often. I guess exceptions would potentially be a podla drake or vagabond with a LASB, which would be capable of mitigating damage with range, and was involved in a much longer skirmish where their slower passive regen is out-paced.

    LASB are actually really interesting mods, because they are a middle ground between burst tank vs buffer tank. They also add a whole new paradigm for the dps-charts and spreadsheets brigade to be Mathematically Correct about which is something we can all enjoy.

    In other words, great success.
    Contract stuff to Seraphina Amaranth.

    Also, dual ASB's which is the de-factor way to shield tank ships now. Just run one for 60s, then reload other. Very OP and hilarious - CCP shoulda put a 1 module per ship cap on these just like the new armor module(which noone uses afaik and/or knows how it works). lulz

    How have the kite fits been working? I'm considering trying them out. I have been using the blaster fit but I hate having to commit to a fight/ getting kited myself.

    No, it's misleading seeing as EHP is what people look at when determining how long the ship holds up if the incoming DPS outdoes the tank.

    My kite Merlin has beat anything ive come across, and been able to disengage vs multiple targets very nicely.

    I actually prefer it over my dual ash Merlin(which tanked a dd the other day - the after fight local chat was hilarious)

    I did change my rigs up tho - from memory I went 1x locus, 1x metastasis(ur tracking is shit otherwise), 1x burst

    I think u need hybrid grades to lvl 3 at least to fit it pg wise without having to change dcu to iffa and swapping t1 apc to t2(or spending silly money on named apcs)

    Discuss this in another thread please as its off topic.
    If you were a superhero you'd be The Incredible Fucktard with your ever-ready sidekick Douchetard Boy. Together, you fight intelligence and common sense where you go.

    I was pulsing(duh) and ended up losing due to :lolcomputer doesnt care if ur pvping, gonna freeze w/e it wants to: (but no fucks given, t1 frig ftw. Also, new computer is being purchased part by part and in the process of being built AS WE SPEAK \o/)

    http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13760002

    He dun died to my m8, so s'all good. Also, this was NOT under boosts or with blue pill. (I did have LG crystals in tho - I literally don't have an empty JC on boge anymore. All of them are stupid implant sets; the most expensive being my old ragnarok clone ofc).

    I'm gonna have to live with "Lord's Servant has a titan" jokes for the rest of the time I play eve won't I, no matter how long its been since I've had a titan aren't I? ><

    you're *

    And I'm still shocked this is a surprise to some ppl. For all the "Lol Lord's has a titan" jokes, noone seems to recognize that character DESPITE HIM BEING MY RAGNAROK PILOT(the one used in the video) /o\ (and one of my 2 total titan pilots)

    Also, when u guys were being faggy and blobbing me with ECM drones, I literally played station games in a pimp bhaalgorn with Servant's Lord being backup in an Archon :P

    I thought the game was out..people are starting to refuse to engage me 1v1-1v5, had a slicer run from my true solo(unboosted)merlin yesterday due to "I know you're good")

    It's probably the clearest way to say what he meant though.

    Holy fuck this needs a good clean and several people need infracting after I already posted a fucking warning in this thread earlier.
