[EVE] Maelstrom Fits.

[Gombol]

Was given a Fit by Iron Fist, but I'm being told by the people in my corp that it's a bad fit, and that I should swap my Arty to Auto Cannons. Now, I've put most of my weapon skills into my Arty Skills, and not my Auto Cannon Skills. Would it be better to just restart or just continue using the Fit I got from Iron?

You don't need more information. It's all there.

the fit i have is purelty a "sit in the middle and tank the world while you throw lead\drones at stuff.

and true i use 1200mm arties, purely because guristas BS sit at about 35-40K which is perfect range for titanium. i mean under 3 hours for Guristas Extraviganza including salvage time isn't that bad
some missions i do just sit with AC because things come to 10-15K so throw on AC, switch a gyro for a tracking computer and use whichever ammo suits... oh and throw an AB in there as well

as for PvP i'm really not the person to ask...

Highslots - 800mm autocannon IIs with Barage ammo for ranged and Republic Fleet EMP for close range brawling.
Mid Slots - Xlarge Shield Booster II, 2x Shield Boost Amp II, 3x Invuln Field II
Low Slots - Damage Control II, PDS II, 3x Gyrostab IIs
Rigs - 3 x Large Projectile Ambit Extension (the falloff increasing ones)

You'll need a cpu amount implant, but you can get a over 800 dps with the EMP out to 25km or so accurately, or switch to the barrage and drop to 650dps out to 50km. The oversized shield boosting really pays off at high levels of minmatar battleship, as i can get a tank of 1100 or so, though only sustainable for just under 3 minutes. That said, if you can't kill something in 3 minutes, you'll likely die yourself.

Round it out with some drones of your choice (likely warriors or hobgoblins to help with frigates) and you have one tough-ass knife fighting battleship. Of course with Barrage ammo your knife becomes a gladius.

I'm not asking for fits, guys. I'm just asking weither i should start again, or just continue with what I have till I can fit somthing else (that's decent.)

 

[Kasatka]

By start again do you mean roll a new character or just scrap the ship and start afresh?

Cause i'd say its not worth re-rolling when you can learn anything you want at any time. If you're skills aren't currently useful on a ship, they will be one day cause you don't always fly the same ship.

 

[Gombol]

I mean a new char, yes. different skills entirely too. (Going close range, 'n stuff.)

 

[Huung]

Eve is like space Runescape - there's very little point in rerolling. As Kats has said, you could find those skills to be useful in a different situation later, if you reroll every time you need a slightly different set of skills then you're missing out on the point of the skill system itself

 

[PsiSoldier]

I mean a new char, yes. different skills entirely too. (Going close range, 'n stuff.)

I don't know if I'm missing something here, but why would you need any different skills (apart from specialisations if you've gone T2) to go from long to short range guns?

 

[Kasatka]

I don't think you overly do PsiSoldier, but then im a 91million skillpoint vet...

There is no point in rerolling in eve any more gombol. With the training accelerator disabled and learning skills removed there is no bonus to starting a new character to get additional skills.

Most long term players are specced for multiple races and damage types gombol, for example I can fly pretty much anything sub-cap in caldari or galente. There usually comes a time in your piloting career where you will want to respec to fly different ships. At this point your existing arty skills will become usefull. Also, as mentioned above, most of the root skills are common between arty and auto anyways, it's not like switching from arty to missiles (which I garuntee you will probably end up doing sometime in yor career)

In short, don't reprocess, just train more skillz!

Aye no point rerolling, especially for something so trivial as changing from arti to auto. Just because you're not using it for the Maelstrom doesn't mean you'll not use the arti elsewhere.

 

[waterproofbob]

also a lot of the support skills that are needed for your current guns apply to short range as well as the long range stuff so you can just learn the skill needed to use those guns. For example Bigg has missile, projectile and hybrid skills.

Rerolling is pointless in eve, just train different skills.
