EndWar859 Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 3	Posted - 2014.04.11 07:20:00 - [1] - Quote I've been in the game since October 2012, have 13 million SP, and I've tried many different fittings for all Amarr suits and weapons and i can not seem to get an edge on my opponents. I always thought it was just that i may be terrible at simply playing the game (which I may very well be), but perhaps it also has to do with a fundamental misunderstanding of Amarr combat philosophy. My fits mainly involve either 1 complex repair + complex plates and enhanced extenders (which previously were enhanced damage mods). My conception of Amarr has always been that they are meant to be slow, hard hitting, and bullet sponges. What are your thoughts?
Denak Kalamari Intaki Liberation Front Intaki Prosperity Initiative 1493	Posted - 2014.04.11 07:24:00 - [2] - Quote My advice is screw the design philosophy. They only really set up guidelines for what the most basic of plain Amarr fits you should have, but I recommend just going crazy. Try different combos and see what works for you, regardless of what the combat philosophy of Amarr is. If you find something that suits you well, stick to it.

Mossellia Delt Militaires Sans Jeux 1187	Posted - 2014.04.11 07:32:00 - [3] - Quote I'll tell you right now, for all amarr suits sans the sentinel, all reppers and damage mods + scrambler rifle. Deal tons of damage and move on. Join the Channel - CPM1 Candidates - Get to know who's running. Delt for CPM1

My conception of Amarr has always been that they are meant to be slow, hard hitting, and bullet sponges. What are your thoughts? Alpha damage at long to med range as you move in slowly, taking hits as you go. Laser weapons are great at range. It is about brunt force over hiding, speed or hit and run. That has a relative basis for success in this game. The assault suit puts emphasis on the high slots for dmg mods. However, dmg mods got nerfed so I just go shields with the standard assault suit. Previously, they got shield bonuses I think, but now it is all about the reduced overheat for weapon efficiency and rep in low. If hardener mods get added for infantry then that would be more appropriate for the additional slots. I'm loving the Amarr basic light suit as opposed to the assault suit because you can stack armor mods and get a sprint bonus. It's a better assault than the assault. You don't get too big a penalty for weapon overheat. Brick tanking a scout suit since April 2013!
Oswald Rehnquist 1332	Posted - 2014.04.11 08:13:00 - [5] - Quote Well, if you can give me what role you like to play as that would help a bit (logi? Assault? Scout? Sentinel? Commando?), I can give you fitting suggestions if you like, though we have a large group of Amarr rpers on here which I'm sure could top it. Equipment is just uplinks, which can be a full time job in some games. In regards to weapons you have 3 weapons The laser rifle is harder than other weapons to use, due to unique optimal range properties, I wouldn't recommend it right away if you are already having difficulty as it is. The other 2 are awesome weapons when used in pub / fw matches, but they do require minor player skills in that their rewards are based on the fact that they get nice head shot multipliers. The BrScP is able to one shot most suits especially with all the wannabe scouts running around. I've also been one shotting most people with the templar ScR about 30% of the time With that in mind, they are particularly good at range and at flanking, and generally suffer when engaging multiple opponents or in cqc when compared to the other weapons.

EndWar859 Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 3	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:06:00 - [7] - Quote Role wise, I'm much more specialized in assault than anything else, but i will play any role in order to adapt. (Exception: vehicles are not my thing at all) So what I think I'm hearing is to omni-tank with a charged scrambler rifle and to keep at range during engagements to maximize damage output, while making sure I'm neither outnumbered nor facing someone with more HP than me. My questions then are; 1. Since i run advance suits, is it better for say as an assault to use 1 complex repair and the rest complex plates or more/all repairs? (on logistics i use all reactive plates) 2. I use a controller and from experience, what sensitivities do you think are best to use? Thanks for all the great advice guys! Any fitting suggestions are appreciated. Amarr Victor!
Ziiro Celeste Ikomari-Onu Enforcement Caldari State 53	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:17:00 - [8] - Quote One of the main Amarrians from AAA here (I'm the forgotten A). The Amarr are known for tanking, AND ganking - eat those bullets and dish em out twice as hard. If you're running assault, I recommend plates in the lows, a repper, and damage mods in the highs, as for your equipment, a compact nanohive to keep that armor up...weapon - ScR. If you're running scout, here is my ADV A/1 fitting (my pro one is a secret) 2x Complex Shield Extenders GEK-38 Assault Rifle T-12 Ion Pistol Cloak Field Compact Nanohive 2x Enhanced Armor Plates 1x Enhanced Armor Repairer 674 eHP so you absorb rounds while you dish em out. The 220 sHP also keeps you relatively safe from explosives. The forgotten "A" in AAA
Shadowswipe Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 220	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:22:00 - [9] - Quote Amarr probably benefit from the passive skills the most. Max those out for the one relevant to your suit/play style. They have the highest starting shields and armor combine for pretty much every dropsuit. That means they benefit the most from the passive armor/shield skills that don't depend on a module. This will allow you more staying power no matter which suit + modules you equip. From there they are medium to long range. So as stated prior, keep out of cqc as much as possible and alpha strike and move when taking fire. You have more than enough HP to duck out of harms way and re-position, even if you have no extra shield/armor mods. The key is to not get flanked yourself. If they get in close quarters through a flank, you were out of position.

It's the infantry division of PIE Inc, which is a long standing Amarr FW corporation and would be a great fit for any Amarr loyalist. #LivingLikeLarry [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

Nocturnal Soul Immortal Retribution 2775	Posted - 2014.04.11 20:25:00 - [11] - Quote Honestly just brick tank any suit except the scout which you add kin cats and armor plates with a Scr or a shotgun. Its alright everyone, no need to worry it's just an Amarr scout :(

For medium frames this is correct, though the ability to determine when to not engage and when to engage is harder in practice than what it sounds like. Your success will infinitely go up when you can get a handle on this aspect. This issue sometimes creeps back up on me after I come back from a long break. EndWar859 wrote: My questions then are; 1. Since i run advance suits, is it better for say as an assault to use 1 complex repair and the rest complex plates or more/all repairs? (on logistics i use all reactive plates) I believe until they fix the slot layout for the medium frames, with a 2/2 layout for assaults, if you are playing solo one rep one plate. If you are in a group with a guy with a rep tool 2 plates. For your 2 high slots just throw on shield extenders. Important , when it comes to using armor plates, advance plates has the best bang for its buck, so stick to advance armor plates. On your logistics, 2 reactive plates are not the way to go. Reactive plates are used under the circumstances that you are slot deprived, beyond they are too costly to run and you get less in return. If you have two reactives, it would just be better to throw on a armor plate and a repairer. EndWar859 wrote: 2.
