Heh I burned through 3 mission fit Domi's yesterday but it has taught me a few lessons :p

I got a bit too casual on a level 4 with my single LAR Domi getting its armour chewed up and warp scrammed and accidentally moved my Logistic Domi to 100km away - by the time I warped out and back it was in time to see it go boom then the scrambling and DPS took out poor logi Domi lol.

I took a cloaked ship back in to bookmark the wrecks - warped in a Domi with 3 warp stabs but this scuppered the tank so while trying to loot the wrecks that goes boom too :p

So I finally start to adapt and warp in at 100km and take out the scrambling frigs - lure the rest nearby then warp out n pick up the wreck loot.

Next time I shall not be so casual - dont want to think how much that cost me lol - eve can be a harshly unforgiving game :)

Don't dual box until you can tank properly :p

1 properly set up domi can tank any level 4 easily ;)

Dominix is a yawnboat for missions, dps too much reliant on drones

If you HAVE to use a gallente ship for level 4s, use a passive shield Ishtar

Droneboats are horrendously slow tho and if using t1 heavies or sentries you may aswell orbit a can at 500m and take a kip for 2h :D

@Xomer 3 months or so or you can always buy a character with the ingame currency that you can buy legally only as Game time cards

1 year+ to get a decent skilled character sure, but if you are abit resourceful and find a good way to make ISK then you can easily earn enough ISK to buy a character with alot more skillpoints a half a year down the road

2 accounts realistically but can work with 1 as you need a scout/hauler/general monkeybutler if you plan on going pure pvp on main.

Eve pvp requires alot more skill and planning really :D

Yeah but that would stuff up the DPS - with the logi domi it can tank anything a level 4 can throw at it whilst leaving it free to do reasonable damage with the bonused rails.

Its 1 LAR is just to buffer it so it can grab aggro before I bring the Logi boat in.

It was that 'Attack of the Drones' mission - has suprisingly high damage if you end up tanking the lot :p

My setups are dirt cheap - T2 gear - no need for anything more for level 4s tbh and if I lose a few its mostly covered by the insurance (as long as I can loot).

The tech 2 drones are the costly bit - Domi's hold a ton :p

10x T2 Sentries of the right damage type for the opponent with damage mods and decent drone skills + tracking modules + 50% damage bonus from the Domi + sentry damage rigs is quite reasonable but I agree the Domi is a slowboat - missions with lots of far apart gates are a pain :(
