This is great. It must have been quite a surprise for some of these people to get blapped by blasters at 30-40km. A Proteus is such a safe thing to point typically. I love how this fit does the opposite of what anyone expects and it's like purpose built for killing the things that have the most confidence about engaging it. Bravo Stitch. There are a lot of great content creators out there, but YOU are the king of off-meta fits.

Man, I think you would really love the new Exeq Navy for this. Off the top of my head I think the DPS is the same as the proteus with with the ENI bigger hybrid damage % , but two less turrets. Having two less turrets also helps bring the overheating damage down - though still might not be able to heat as long as the 6 turrets in a t3c, I don’t know. But the ENI is also fast with a plate and no speed mods (compared to the proteus at least). So you can swap speed rig for another ambit, and drop the TC for a defensive web to makeup for the lack of long scram. Certainly not as strong as the proteus - no doubt, but at 80M fitted, and not needing a pod - it sure is a fun budget option for blaster kiting!

Nice video Stitch! are you thinking in doing the same with the new battlecruisers? ferox navy is interesting and myrmidon navy can reach 1k dps with blasters and drones while being dual rep fit.

Still around and login pretty much everyday. The ability to get fights during my TZ is harder, so videos get made a bit slower. Though starting to see some life again in FW so maybe I can get some out a little faster again.

I considered it towards the end of testing. I think a RAH is perfectly reasonable though, just figured id finish the fights off with the fitting i had been using

@stitchk2755 Жыл бұрын
I keep them as cheap as possible. Hence why I had a MAAR instead of a-type rep just to find out if the theory was sound. Otherwise, i sell my pvp spoils, rat the scannable sites in nullsec, run relics, ESS and sell off older fits and occasionally get donations. I'm normally always around 2-3b at any given time. Which is why I can't generally use HG's, since it would wipe me out.

@@michalkalavsky i dont really have a set schedule. Sometimes i wont pve for a couple months because what im flying is very cheap and my isk ratio comes out positive after killing things with more bling than me. If i fly something more expensive then i go through my pvp spoils and sell them. Having collected 40 of common t2 modules (bcu, dcu, invulns etc) adds up over time and makes for a nice chunk of change.

1.4k cold "kiting" Only if Aurora actually plays eve and knew proteus's true weakness is it's horrible speed and agility instead of 100 drone bandwidth But here I am back again, vainly expecting CCP actually know what they are doing to their game
@stitchk2755 Жыл бұрын
There were 2 things fixed with the most recent balance pass. The extra bandwidth was nice and made the drone proteus actually feel competitive with other options. The extra PG helped a bit to make tankier fits or more unique ones (like my 100mn drone proteus). That being said, yes, its still painfully slow and could either use a base speed increase, or rework a sub-system to give a speed bonus.
