I really like it good job, keep doing it ;)! My corp and me live in C4 space for 2-3 years so i can understand your surprise about rattlesnakes. I cant see the exact fit from your blog, but i know when rattles do C4 sites, one of the most important thing is to manage tank/neut and range therefore often rattles refit during sites (in case of solo). If u check Rykki-s guide related to site damage and spawns ( a bit old but under c5 sites it works) you can see that rattles need to tank sometimes 1600+ damage and manage neut. In this way the cheapest and the most practical way to solo sites are the passive snakes, you know. The biggest advantage of passive snake is not the tank rather the cap: It cant be drained, so above methods (geddon/bhalgorn and nestors neuts are not working on it) (see example: https://o.smium.org/loadout/88843). With max skills implants and with a bit shiny faction items boosters i think it can tank 2000 dps in full tank mode so 1. if u want to break it maybe this limit can be your minimum requirement in dps if u want to succed (ofc more is better). 2. You wrote that u used ogre II. Maybe try to use 2 gecko+aug oggre instead next time because against gecko's omni damage they cant put on damage specific passive hardeners to counter. 3. Neuting is a powerfull weapon, but not works againt passive rattle try to drop a depo and try alternative methods. I know its difficult during multibox, i struggle too with a 4 rr dominix pve setup, it difficult to maintain without any multibox program (i just use eve-o-preview). 4. Maybe u can bring a cheap full dps ship for 5th char against battleships.

With only 2 Nestors, if one of them is being focused, 2 large reps won't do much. I actually added an extra ship into the mix that I will write about later.Zosiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923806436605751198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923662267972121732.post-48472547294713373542016-07-13T13:50:13.253+02:002016-07-13T13:50:13.253+02:00pretty sure he had enough neuts to cap out the rat...pretty sure he had enough neuts to cap out the rattlers.

If they are dualboxed or often flown together, rattles can be rigged for a cap chain and get a 1800 dps local tank - enough for some C5 anoms.<br /><br />I imagine that neuting is your strongest weapon in situations like this. Obviously it helps against active shield boosting, but even against passive fits it can turn off hardeners. If you're prepared to field Nestors you clearly don't mind putting money on the line; have you considered replacing one of them with a Bhaalgorn? (or geddons).<br /><br />Of course RF Large Cap Batteries are the rattle's defense against neuts, but people running passive rattles are probably not going to be thinking that far ahead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383187046026834049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923662267972121732.post-83877600122573323782016-07-12T19:38:55.576+02:002016-07-12T19:38:55.576+02:00I tend to think passive regeneration is a bit of a...I tend to think passive regeneration is a bit of a cheap thing, personally.
