i'll be trying to master melee tanking. (again)
a few of you may remember back in 1.7 where i tested the viability of melee tanking. back in 1.7, it wasn't very useful at as a competetive tactic, because the abomination that was PERMA-SCANNING.
in 1.8, where scanning is less rampant, i have a feeling that it will be much more viable, though i do have my worries. nowadays, most people you fight, especially in closed maps are heavy spamming or scouts of some sort, and melee tanking requires you to give up any kind of HP tank in trade for speed and melee.
before i used a caldari med frame ck.0, which maxed out at 550 melee damage. now, i'll be using a minmatar med frame mk.0, because it maxes out at around 650 melee damage, can run at about 9.5 m/s, and has ridiculous stamina regen, ideal for melee tanking.
if it works out, then this will be just what i need to spice this game back up, but if not, i'll probably be going on hiatus for a while.
