I was thinking since Domi's are used to tank well and solo later on in lvl 4 I thought of rather getting and training up for the Domi rather than a Myrm for only lvl3 missions, now I don't know much or who used Myrmidons on lvl4's but I'm aiming for the Ishkur so I was thinking if training up for the Domi would save time by skipping Myrmidon would actually benefit me into getting to lvl3-4 missions faster..
Tips, suggestions anyone? appreciate it. |

active armor t2 tanked myrm's when a pilot has good drones skills can yawn at a LVL 3 mish, i personelly haven tried lvl 4's with my myrm, but from stories ive heard, and from EFT im seeing that a passive shield tanked myrm, yes i said passive shield tanked myrm, can handle a lvl 4 with ease.
thats just my two cents
enjoy

Myrmi should be perfectly fine for lvl 3's and you don't really need to max the battle cruiser skill or related weapon skills for that. I think I did my level 3's in a Harbinger with only BC at 3. When you are running those, skill up your BS skills and start doing lvl 4's as soon as you are confident.
I started doing lvl 4's with just a couple of tech 2 mods I could already use, rest was meta 4. Having access to t2 drones would be a very big +, especially in your case.
Just be careful about it when you first start doing lvl 4's and check every mission in eve-survival.org first. Reading the replies there helps as well sometimes.
edit: also make sure to fit hardeners for the right damage types types

I would go for Domi, since you can tank well and use 5x large drones.

shield tanked myrmidon is excellent for lvl3. Only when I get the aggro wrong or the whole group jumps on me I have to warp out and retry, but it seldom happens. I can do some of the lvl4 with my Myrmidon, but not all because my combat skills are far from complete.
However if you want to skip training a Myrmidon and jump to battleship then I say do it. Dominix is more comfortable than a Myrmidon in Lvl 4 mission, but beef up your drone skills.

For level 4s, a Myrmidon can tank them just fine but will take a long time to kill battleships with only medium guns and 75Mb bandwidth, so you'll want the Dominix for that in the long run anyway.
In level 3s I don't think it matters which you use, unless any of them have gates that won't allow battleships?

thing is a myrm will work for 3s and even 4s but the domi gets so much more drone space + bandwidth and up to 6 guns, oh and a damn good tank it makes it a better choice
so yes use the domi!

I started back when there was a "Gallente Special Forces" option for creating a new character and started out with Drones V among other drone goodies. I have decent drone skills overall at the moment.
I've been flying a myrmidon for months. I just recently started flying an Ishtar and I'm much happier with the Ishtar than I was the Myrmidon. Unless you plan on getting into warfare links and leading a gang, the Myrmidon will be an evolutionary dead end for you.

I have been running level 3 missions with a Myrm instead of level 4 missions in a Domi for a week or so now. Using all the same skills, and pretty much the same fitting, the only place the Myrm loses out is not being able to fly 5 heavy/sentry drones. It is a faster vessel than the Domi and looks different - a change is as good as a holiday they say.
Unless you are planning to fly BCs later, I would suggest jumping straight into a Domi, especially if you will be using drones for DPS. -- [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel] |

I used to do lvl 4's with an armor tanked Myrm. Problem was it was slow as molasis. Basic technique was to kite the pocket, not letting stuff get in range. I used guns to keep agro and had my drones peck away at whatever was closest on my tail. It's going to be night and day using a BS.
