Very simple contest. Best PVE Fitting for a Golem wins 500 PLEX 
Will run for Seven (7) Days to give everyone a chance to enter.
Iāll have a vote at the end to choose the winner.
*I work a lot but will try to check this daily.
Reserved for Vote.
Fairly high tank, decent DPS, quite standard fit, nothing fancy. Couple expensive faction modules but nothing crazy. Posting the base fit now, may modify later as I look up prices on certain modules. Not my design, saved it from somewhere around December when I was wondering if it would be interesting to fit out a Golem. Might have a link to the original source hanging around somewhere if you want to give credit where credit is due.

Total Jita ship cost as-is: roughly 2.5 billion ISK. To check the tank and DPS against your own skills, use the above link, click the āExport - EFTā button, copy to clipboard. In EVE, open a fitting window, open the Wrench icon menu on the left, lower left of that has āImport and Exportā, click āImport from Clipboardā.
My own personal modification was to replace the 3 Caldari Navy BCS with the C3-X Hivaa Saitsuo modules (as I bought some of those back when they came out). However I see those are running around 300 million ISK each atm vs 130 million for the Cal Navy. So the extra drone DPS prob isnāt worth the additional expense.

Edit#2: The link I got the fit from specifically mentions swapping the Shield Boost Amplifier out for more Mobility/MJD, Application etc. if extra tank isnāt needed. The DCII is also an easy swap out if you know your tank is sufficient and want to add something else.
Edit#3: This build is very high on tank and cap. I always start any new, expensive build out fairly maxed on tank and cap. Because if Iām fitting out an expensive new build, it means Iām pushing it into some relatively tough situation I havenāt tried before. Otherwise Iād just use a Praxis or something cheap. Fit for tank and cap, test the situation, see which one I can use less of, strip those module(s) out and replace with Mobility/DPS/Utility modules - thatās the routine.
Nice copy paste.
This is botting a fit lol
itās also a bad fit
Best Golem fit is the one that is really a Minmatar ship with extra guns taped on.
Feel free to post fits rather than snark, guys. I chose that fit from a couple of options because I wanted solid tank: if I was going to try an expensive new ship, I didnāt want to lose it because I made some dumb error the first couple times out. (Been there, done that - although it was back in the day when āa shiny new battlecruiserā was an āexpensive shipā for me.)
Given the skills/implants on the character that was going to fly it, the C3-X Haitsuoās gave my drones enough of a boost that I felt confident they would protect me from anything close or small, and the missiles would handle the rest. For me it was also important that it be reasonably priced.
Never said it was a great fit, an original fit, or even my fit. It was, however, a lvl 4 Golem fit with, for me, a good balance of Tank and DPS.
Youāre welcome to submit any massively improved, obviously better for the OPās purpose, fits that you have on hand. If theyāre that much better, and reasonably priced, rest assured that Iāll happily copy those too.
First of all we need to understand what the OP means by ābestā. Easiest to afk with or fastest mission completion times. If we ignore āeasiest to afk withā, because fck that, you need to look at several things: mobility, damage application and ease of use.
a fit without an AB (MWD is going to suck cap wise but could be done I guess) and quite possibly MJD is already out the window.
Damage application, yes the Golem gets a painter bonus but painters are horrible to use outside their optimal and you have to apply them to each and every target, and only having 1 painter means you canāt use weapon groups which is terrible. So it doesnāt really work, itās super annoying and restricts how many targets you can shoot at once. Ditch it, use rigor/flare rigs instead
ECM, yes in Bastion mode you ignore any form of ECM but you donāt always WANT to be in Bastion, mostly because it slows you down which costs time. So you want ECCM and if at all possible increased lock speed because that just makes things less annoying.
What you end up with is on paper not the highest dps but paper dps doesnāt mean much unless youāre clueless. Assuming the OP wants an active played fast mission completion ship.
Rapid heavies would be good for blitzing certain missions over cruise, granted you have to be closer in range and know how to blitz a mission.
Since the rapid reload rebalance (not a nerf) the overall dps is down. Also due to the high rate of fire itās VERY easy to waste volleys vs more distant targets meaning you get even earlier into reloading hell. On top of that the Golem gets a damage application bonus and as it doesnāt need its rig slots for anything important you might as well go rigor and/or flare rigs.
Only if you really time your reloads well, which lets be honest isnāt going to happen in reality, would it be worth it.
I donāt get to play enough for "easiest to afk withā to apply. I can run any level 4 and Epic Arc with the fit I have but I see much room for improvement. I thought 500 PLEX 
(or a free month of Omega Time) would generate more interest.

Iām not at my PC atm, on my phone, so that doesnāt really help. Just donāt fall for bling clown fits like the one above this pot.
Agree 100%.
Actually they canāt post any because the only thing they know how to do is troll the forums.
Thatās why Iām running it for a week. Just submit yours when you get a chance.
Firstly, good call on not putting the more blingy Hivaas on thereā¦imo of course. Golem is a missile ship, drones are just for frigates that might get too close and such.
Because of the great bonus to Microjumpdrive a Marauder gets, imo most pve Marauder fits should have a MJD. Rather than a tank module, you could have a module that blips you far enough away to warp out if one gets in trouble.
Personally I like the Paladinā¦becauseā¦lasery goodness and all, but I experimented with a Golem for pve at one time. Hopefully things havenāt changed too much with it.
Kerzai, I took the liberty of messing around with your fit a little just off the top of my head, hope you donāt mind too much:

Thank you, itās not my fit so mess away! I should probably have pointed out that the link I got the fit from specifically mentions swapping the Shield Boost Amplifier out for Mobility/MJD, Application or other modules as needed. Iāll likely toss an edit in there to mention it.
The DCII module is also easily swappable for whatever anyone prefers if they feel they donāt need extra tank for the task.
I like the extra mobility your fit provides, and after a few test runs (if I ever tested it) to see how much excess tank I can shed for the task, I would likely go for something pretty close to what you have there.

Failing that, just swiftly fit a MJD in place of the MWD and GTFO.
This fit is nowhere near cap stable: with 3:32 mins,
I think this is more than enough cap for an experienced mission runner.
Flying this deadly beast in-conjunction with the Golem Vitalshift EGO SKIN makes the ship feel even more awesome.
You really donāt need so many words to say youāre sorry.
