Only for passive hardeners, so really only EM ever gets used, because it's the shield resistance hole, and it's used in incursions. I guess Kin/therm passives get used sometimes for guristas complexes which neut.

Explosive shield compensation is a literally useless skill, since I've never heard of anyone fitting a passive explosive shield hardener for any (good) reason.

ed. Just to clarify, the armor ones aren't useless because they benefit the energized adaptive nano membrane, for which shield has no equivalent, which is one of the things which differentiate shield and armor tanking (i.e. shield gets frontloaded reps, but armor gets eanm)

Passive shield EM Wards get used for PvP too. Harpies and other frigate doctrines will use them to cover EM holes because the CPU and cap cost for an active hardener is more than they can handle, and Tengus will typically fit a passive hardener so they don't have a 0% EM hole under neut pressure.

This is still an incredibly fringe use and I wouldn't train the skill until I had a specific need for the module in question.

Yes, but a fringe use even of a couple ranks shouldn't preclude your being considered capable of flying a shield tanked ship, but that's exactly what the in-game ISIS dealie suggests, which is what we're discussing here.

I don't really think anyone has ever recommended strictly following any skill guides that have been in game because they always include useless poo poo. Certs were just as bad if not worse

I have literally never fit a passive shield hardener other than EM to anything, ever, and I probably never will.

drakegrim

i would say it helps give guidance to passive skills that are not used as requirements. IE: Armor layering... this skill is not required by anything else to my knowledge, but does give a bonus to mobility and sig. However, just reading over all the skills for your class will help accomplish an understanding of all passive skills. So mehh, guess ISIS is kind of retarded.

What is happening with FA? They're being moved out of Fountain or something?

FA was at its strongest while in Fade/Pure blind. Fountain is way too hardcore for them, so it might not be a bad thing for them to move out.

There was a ping earlier that mentioned us moving out of Fountain before FozzieSov. Anyone outside of Illum and trusted circles really doesn't understand what exactly that means.. but there's a ton of speculation and guessing. We're all just waiting for the CEO Update that is coming in the next few days.

Kinetic amps occasionally see use on Broadswords.

Also, if you run anomalies in Serpentis space, you'll keep a few kin/therm passive hardeners around. A lot of the high-end Serpentis anomalies have multiple capital neut towers that will instantly cap you out, and keep you there until they die (or you do); a purger-fit Tengu with pithum resist amps works wonders there.

The real issue is that Minmatar T2 ships are the only shield ships that don't have EM holes -- and in their case, they have relatively few mids and relatively small kin holes, so you're better off filling it with a +kin shield rig and using those mids for tackle/prop/invulns.

Train EM Shield Compensation to III or IV since we actively use that one and ignore the others. If you think of it in a market hub you can inject them and just leave them at zero so you don't have to go get a book in the unlikely event you ever fly a ship that requires them (which will probably be some incredibly focused ratting boat).

Train EM Shield Compensation to 4, leave the rest at three.

Later, when you're 150M+ SP and have nothing better to train, train EM Shield Compensation to 5, leave the rest at 4.

Well, sure. The reasoning behind it is solid, too much Sov is not a good thing. What I meant was more along the lines of where the Southern CFC will end up.

There's a lot of space between Fountain and Tenal.
