EVE Online - Golem SMASHING L4 Missions (3k DPS fit)

[@thedrunknmunky6571]

I want Acey to say “RAGE” like he did that one time, it sounded pretty metal.

[@dusk1947]

By far my favorite ship, I've been enjoying this as my mission runner for 3 or 4 years now. It's fantastic once you skill it, and brutal if you bling it. And that's before a buff. I honestly love it because I can run missions while watching a movie. Pop Bastion, cap stable shield rep, and just keep the targets updated as they die. It's not speed clearing, but it's relaxing and easy clearing. It's like flying around in a private bunker. Though I generally favor higher tank and precision cruise missiles. It's nice to kill everything from enemy drones up to battleships with the same ammo, kitted against their resistances. I was two-shotting frigates three years ago, you just needed an expensive fit to do it. And yes the Paladin is the prettiest one.

[@cubic416]

golem looks like a real spaceship

[@dean07252000]

I mean High DPS is a tank within itself if you think about it. If you're chewing through enemies then it lowers the amount of damage they can deal to you :-)

[@sirnukealot84]

The golem has selectable dmg type and looks really cool too!

[@BigBadGrizzlyB]

Lol I was just thinking he’s losing his drones when you did that zoom in

[@praetor29]

I jumped in my chair when that zoom in sound happened xD

[@GAMMA47]

IM getting 3.2k from vargur. Super versatility. Golem is the same deal. Can do PVE or PVP very well.

[@Meta_Gryphon]

Expensive skin you can hardly see :)

[@unclejo3]

I've been using a golem to run 10/10s for almost a year, can run them solo in about 45 minutes, with 2 that time was under 30 minutes but not having 6-7 bil on the field in null lol. Only reason I used it before with Torps is because that was were my skills were maxed at lol. Before buff, I was 15/1600 DPS, 11k alpha but this was with implants

[@StonnedGunner]

in most cases it doesnt make sense to fit 4X damage in the lows i prefer a maximum of 3x damage and than start to work on amplifaction

[@Flakzor123]

Agreed, and if we ignore rate of fire and look at missile damage specifically its a 5 mod fit as far as stacking penalties are concerned so that final T2 bcs is doing almost nothing. I would prefer a damage control.

[@hiroki_rinn]

Decided to check on my Kronos and see what DPS it does now. I sport a 70 KM blaster fit and jeebus, just shy of 3k with bastion mode. That out does my non-incursion Leshak. 😨

[@Aceyface]

And the shak has to be full spooled too!

[@MrGlennithswift]

Try pulling off the extra bcu and use a missile guidance enhancer for extra range and application. I believe that would make this fit better for this mission.

[@jacobnunya808]

I think just in general you would be better off not splitting the torps. Having both painters on one target makes sure makes dps is applied and because those torps already shoot so fast in the event that you do end up wasting a cycle you will waste very little time vs fiddling with 2 groups of weapons.

[@ineverexist666]

I came back after years and went back to my Golem which i pretty much is build like a bunker i can sit in a lv4 mission get all the aggro and lough when a whole pocket like a Angel extravaganza last optional pocket barely tickle my shields while i shoot them with Fury cruise missiles. Heck i tend to build my ships very tanky for PvE and i did once a lv4 mission with my corp Ceo in a rattlesnake or navy scorpion? not sure anymore and i pulled aggro of the whole pocket, he had to leave since he couldn´t tank the dmg while i was sitting happily there tanking and killing everything.

[@indraterberg8569]

Golem is the best mission runner for sure Missiles are just great because it does not matter what range your target is They work with in this case between 0 and 50km no switching ammo for range just applying your dps Also shields feel stronger as tank IMO When activated it is repped where armor reps at the end of its cycle The lows can be used for full damage For your cpu you can try cruise, with the T2 the damage is quite high and the choice for T2 precision ammo will make quick work of those buzzers even more so I like the paladin too but when angels come under your weapons the 2.7k dps does not apply very well Cya in game o7

[@rioterwarhier]

BuzzKill in under 12 Minutes :O can you do the exact same mission on every marauder and maybe also Rattle , so that we can compare them? Maybe also with an angel extrav , and some bloodraider/sansha stuff, so we can sum up all the timers and make a top 5 list for the best "overall L4 Mission" runner?

[@Aceyface]

Yup you can do the mission in other maruaders, paladin seems good too though I think the golem is a bit better due to damage type. Definintely plan on showing the other missions too ;)

[@foodconnoisseur8397]

It would be very helpful if you could also list what implants and boosters you were using on this set up to help us newbs as to what works with what setup so we can make notes

[@ronin6158]

high grade crystals. 2b/set. These guys usually keep implants and boosters subtle; he did say it tho.

[@Lulzwhat]

This 2.5+ bil loot pinyata not worth it. Seriously DPS is asmazinig but when you get suicided (just cuz blowing only hull which worth ~2bil is much fun) - your impression instantly turns into depression.

[@PSPSMITH2022]

I suspect L4 marauder hunting is about to hit an all time high. The wise investor would put isk on catalyst and tornado production.

[@Hawkcelpa]

Cloaky logi support frigs do the trick. Needs alt ect. But modern problems...

[@PSPSMITH2022]

@@Hawkcelpa It's amazing how difficult it is to speed gank a Paladin with some Guardian support. Bastion cycle time reduction helps.

[@Shoob__]

Short range missile platforms don't have a t2 high accuracy ammo. Javelin is purely range, it doesn't have better application. If you want application use faction missiles. imgur.com/DRYalSw

[@praetor29]

macOS Pyfa looks fancy af

[@emiltod]

yeah I did this recently in a paladin - hah 2.x s per shot - I do mostly EM damage (the worst vs these guys) and I did the mission faster than this - that's why people like paladin. My ammo's cost was some percentage damage to 4 scorch crystals (I hate to think how much do the torps cost for the golem), and small ships all died in 1 shot. So yeah pallie is the best for npcs.

[@TheSoulMan11]

been enjoying my kronos and paladin today,

[@zeeke6254]

Managed to get my Golem to a tasty 3.3k dps with 101k ehp, thing is a beast with 62km range Rage's. My favourite ship to fly atm ^.^

So cool :) Mind sharing the fit?

[@Wolf-Nyan]

I’m just looking at all those wrecks. I want to salvage them all

[@TheMule71]

In 2016, I tried the golem, went back to the rattlesnake. I guess things have changed meanwhile. Anyway, back at the time, I went for 2 rattlesnakes spider tanking... or rather, spider capping. With the cap from another rattle, the one taking aggro was able to run the X-large booster a lot (don't remember if it was cap stable, it was comfortable enough to leave it on for minutes - NPCs come in waves, so when finishing off a wave you can turn it off to replenish the capacitor). Of course, 2 accounts, 2 clients, 4 or 6 targets to manage (I used to split launchers too... so for each BS you have target 1 for missile, target 2 for missiles, targer 3 for drones)... a lot of micromanagement, especially if you care about efficiency... this can be reduced to 3 targets to manage if you assign drones to one BS and keep 1 launcher group on both. Nice video BTW.

[@bobdole3757]

I was using 2 rattlesnakes with auto targeting cruise and Caldari wardens. A completely passive playstyle.

[@dunovancarr4879]

Please don't take a 2B plus fitted ship into .5 on Tranquility. It just feeds Code. glory kills.

[@TheLifesentence2278]

I never have problems in lvl 4 missions in my tengu. It only does 1100 dps but it almost has 100% application.

[@Chimizatu]

Can you please share the fit?

This with high grade hydra and 6% implants = yes

Omg the application will be insane xD

[@SupCom78]

I am sure a pPaxis would die in this Mission together with all T1 BS with only One Normal Shield Booster even a Abysal Shield Booster would run out by this fire power. But use a Shield Booster that is more worth than a T1 BS just to be able to do tgis mission ?

[@christopherpaul1849]

i run it in a praxis = passive shield w/ rapid heavys using precision missiles is pretty easy (not super fast = but never in any danger)

[@PSPSMITH2022]

Also a piece of cake in a strategic cruiser: quicker travel between systems, much better align times and far less gank pressure.

how to you stay alive if you DC?

[@abcnt]

Still my favorite ship, no regrets getting it to mastery V. I think every Golem i own is around 2-3 billion and that's having around 20 of them. they are insane with rage torpedoes doing around 10k a volley

[@RE-jm9un]

What were the torpedo buffs? I have not played in a very long time lol.

[@Aceyface]

they were buffed about a year ago where they have better application

[@drekceldude]

I've been out of Eve for around 5 years, for L4 missions, is the Tengu still relevant and considered a top tier PVE ship ?. Because I've got so many T2 ships and equipment I can't use unless I upgrade my account to a Omega.

[@Aceyface]

the tengu is very popular for low-sec / nullsec DED sites because of how much damage it does and how it can be very sneaky unlike battleships. Me personally i dont have much experience in t3 cruisers, but tengu definitely is popular as a pve platform. T2 ships like maruaders are very good for misisons, some HACs are good for abyss but tbh the gila is just fine.

[@bladex110]

What are your skills? I'm only getting 2.9k DPS :(
