Take dmg mods off and put a pg upgrade maybe?

damage mods go on high slots, so he can still keep them on and add the pg expansion.

ohhh man that's not a desired alternative.. ****.. maybe i need to change my mids around, pull of the extender..

anyone have any advice to keep the damage mods on the lows? i know most of you guys are pretty hushed about it but id appreciate any help for my little tanker nub... maybe try to stack more damage reduction mods instead? would that work?

Caldari gets the mods, Gallente use armor plates and turbo.

what? damage mods go on the lows for vehicles.
no offense if you didn't know that you probably aren't in a position to be giving advice.. maybe if you hang around we can both learn some new stuff tho hahah!

yeah but its a shield tank.. the whole point of going shield tank is so you can stack the hell out of damage mods..

no im not using three.. i use the giant one and put damage reduction mods, it gives more shields..

i fit this thing like my maelstrom, i just put a heavy shield extender and booster and stacked the living bejesus out of damage reduction mods so the shield reps more.. if you have a shitload of shields the booster has to rep more..

and yeah damage mods on the lows.. i dont want to use a scattered tho i want the neutron one.

look at what the damage mods do first man. they increase your damage and rof, thats like why.. why man WHY!

Read some of the guides in the training grounds. I recommend reading Tac Com's thread (HAV owner manual); the guy built a Sica that could output 12k damage with a railgun before overheating. If you need more help, message me in game when I have time to type some tips up for you.

i was thinking maybe i fit 2 low pg shield boosters and stack the hell out of hardeners and resistance mods.. i dunno maybe that's cray.

i dont think any of the really good tankers are gonna share their knowledge tho.. oh well whatever.

Edit: As others have said blasters has enough damage on its own so you may want to ditch the damage mods and get PG upgrades for better shields.

I'm feeling generous so I'll give some advice, first, a lot of people in this thread seem like idiots, ignore them.

Try a heavy extender, light extender and two resistance amplifiers, if you have the top ones then you should be pretty tanky (Over 6000HP + 30% Resists with the top modules with maxed skills), add a heavy booster. That's your highs. Fit a damage mod in the low and then a powergrid expansion, try to get the local. Fit your turrets with the blaster of your choice (Go for scattered everytime.) and fit it with missiles for small turrets.

Ta da. You're welcome.

(Source: I run this fit and can fit a proto blaster on it, come at me.)

Idiots who don't know how to tank.

"Wahh you don't need more damage mods, more shields!" You have no ******* clue, quite obviously.
Damage Modifiers increase the rate of fire by 95%, its a noticeable difference and also gives that extra 10% damage (If you run the top module), this is a massive difference when it comes to tank fights. DPS over Tank.

THANK YOU thats what I've been trying to say!!!!!!

i came up with something similar while i was sobbing about my neutron not fitting..

heavy booster, active hardener, 2 passive hardeners, heavy extender
power diagnostic, damage mod
neutron scattered whatever blaster and missile turrets.

what do you think? ditch the hardener maybe? idk the cooldown looks pretty whack maybe ill just ditch it.

Feel the wrath of my Blueness.


We have railguns for a reason, "HUH REALLY ", rails are for tank vs tank fights therefore you should have damage mods to get the most damage and beat the other guy, and with blasters theres no point cuz you will hopefully be trying to take out infantry, other than that you shouldnt be doing anything else.

i dunno why ure even bothering with the other guy man.. thanks again.

stacking penaltys probably. third mod gets 50ish % so its only like 7% of 5000

not to mention the 100 and 89ish percent of the 2 originals get to buff 5700 hp.

That RoF 95% is a typo actually only increases by 5%, as stated in the item description.

And why would you use a light extender that is only worth 700 HP when you can get 900 points EHP by using a passive resistance amplifier for -15% damage intake instead? Not only that but you have to recover the lost shield taken by damage, but you never have to recover the EHP from the passive resister.

Use passive resisters they are better in every respect and cost less PG.

I don't know man, seems a lot faster than 5%, either way it's amazing.

Because stacking penalties, I've already suggested using two 15% Resistances, the extra light extender raises the eHP considerably due to the resists there already. I mean, three resists just wouldn't work out well.

Ah you're on about actives, yet posted about Passives.

Actives are great but they're two different tanks. See I prefer focusing on my movement, map and firing, Active Hardeners (And three at that) are just a nuisance.

I find two Passive ward amplifiers are enough, I run a tank with nearly 6000 HP with about 25% resists that are constantly on as they are passive and a converse booster, I don't lose them very often either and find that 25% is enough (What's that like 7500 shield eHP?)

don't listen to Jason he knows nothing.

Just to clear it up, yes I use a 10% damage mod in the low, by movement I meant actual tank placement, checking exit routes and such, that's something that seems to separate tankers aswell, by their ability to know when to move and such. But yeah, that's a lot of eHP and we can still fit a Proto Blaster to it ^_^
