Amarr PVE

[deuceyd]

Never used amarr ships before so going to train into them just for the fun of it. I know that amarr is locking into Em/Thermal dmg but hey - infinite ammo (t1) so that really appeals to me. What are some good areas to rat in with amarr ships and please if you have any T1/faction ships/fit recommendations throw them my way.

Also side note please don't throw ur Gila fits at me I know how good it is lol
Oh and I'd like to stay out of nullsec, just looking to rat anomalies and combat sites.

Damage types by rats: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/NPC_damage_types. Here's a list of rat types per region: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/region

That'll give you some idea of where you want to be. Some of these areas are sov space/low sec so you'll want to watch yourself.

If you want to rat with lasers, you are wanting to face Blood Raiders or Sansha, who are the most sensitive against EM/Thermal damage.
Yet... you can train for Amarr ships who use misiles. Not all the Amarr ships are locked with lasers, you know.
Using misiles you can face other rats who do other kind of damage. As an example, Guristas do mostly kinetic, so its easier to fit and fly a ship with passive shield regen with just 1 kind of active shield hardener. Keep in mind that shields have a natural resistance against kinetic and explosive, while they are weaker against EM and thermal.

dont forget the amarr drone ships

TBH, my favorite Amarr ship for PvE is the Sacrilege t2 missile HAC.

Can I see ur fit? Also I can't use t2 ships yet but im training for them, also I have all level 4 missile skills and get abyssmal dps with caldari...

[battlecattle]

Sure. I use a pretty simple fit but it's effective.

Heavy Assault Missile IIs in the highs + core probe launcher in the utility high

In the mids, a 10mn AB II (keep speed up, transversal/absolute velocity is key to mitigating damage from battleships), 2 missile guidance computers II, and a Cap Recharger II

In the lows, 2 Ballistic Control Units II, 2 Armor resist Hardeners II (note that the hull has very good resists to kin/explosion), and a Medium Armor Repairer II (cap stable with cap recharger).

In the rigs, a Medium Bay Loading Accelerator II and an Anti-Thermal Pump II.

I use two sets of drones (with my drones skills I use all tech 2 drones). One set consists of a heavy, 2 mediums, and a light for doing max damage to big targets (sac had a drone bandwidth of 50), and the other is a set of 5 lights for frigs/dessies.
