L3/4 myrmidon Build

Im looking for myrmidon build that can beat L4 missions

Some L4s will be too hard for a combat battlecruiser unless you put some serious amount of ISKs into it, which I doubt you’ll have. I’m talking about B- and A-type deadspace gear in the range of 100m-1b ISKs a module. You don’t want that. You want a Battleship like the Dominix for L4s instead.

@ISD_Sakimura Would you mind joining the four threads by OP on his Myrmidon request into a single thread, please?

Yesss Dominix!!!

Im looking for a good myrmidon build for L3/4 Also if any would mind educating me on the many choices of weaponry for the myrmidon and what will do some amazing DPS

Get a Dominix instead

Im looking for a battle cruiser not a battle ship thanks though

I used to run a myrm back in the day. It was a good break into lvl 4’s until my skills got better.

I’ll have to find the fit, but it is a stable dual armor rep with an AB, a drone navigation link in the mids for a drone layout, 2xnavy ogres 2xhamm II, 1x hob II. Originally had 250mm rails on the highs, but later threw arty’s on and those helped with the Angel missions. Switch drones to Minmatar type when needed.

What drone skills should i level first though besides Drones V?

The racial drone specialization skills make a big difference in dps, as that skill stacks with the other dmg skills for better damage and only tech II drones receive bonuses from the specialization skills.

I’d recommend taking lights and mediums to tech 2, along with their specializations, and run on that for a while. Check the minimum requirements for the t2 drones and you’ll get most of the drone skills you need. Having weapons is important also in keeping aggro off your drones.

Ps. ‘Augmented’ type drones are the only non t2 drones which receive bonuses from the specializations.

do Any racial drones in particular do more dps?

The compare tool becomes invaluable in such cases.

Bring it up by looking up a specific item in the market and in the variety(?) tab click that compare box. Reset and empty it and drag it to the side. Then drag and drop whatever you want there (the drones in question) and use the parameters to the left to see for yourself all the differences.

Thanks a ton

More factors come into play when considering highest dps of racial drones.

You want to start with the Gallente drones as they will do the most damage.

Different NPCs have of course different resist profiles and switch damage on the drones sometimes improves the damage output. But because thermal damage resistance is generally not very high on most NPCs, and the hulls don’t have any resist profiles, are Gallente drones often good enough.

Also, please don’t start a new thread for the same thing each day. Three threads on the Myrmidon is enough to get people’s attention.

_i know i can get tier 2 auto cannons and ddas but im skilling into those rn and they will take a couple days and im about a week away from heavy drones and it says it has 207 dps which is as bad as my drake _

using drugs and implants is an easy way to beef up your tank. I don’t think t2 medium armor repairers are too long to skill into. I don’t think you can do much with that fit to compromise it’s tank. That tank is like bare minimum. Here’s what I used to run a long time ago. Shows 644dps on EFT. 675 with Ogre II’s. Your’s shows 463dps with perfect skills. Anyhow, i think the ogres would help. Drone travel time is a big deal, imo and I hated how slow clearing was without a drone nav.

Railguns use cap and are therefore not a good choice for a ship that has no bonuses for the weapons and needs cap to run the repairers. Drugs are not feasible in missions either because they reduce the income.

Get a Dominix
