Quote:Y U NO Have Tormentor Videos? A few reasons, I think:
- The Tormentor has only recently become viable to use in PvP -- and even now, it competes heavily with the tankier, no-drones, and cap-bonused Punisher
- Sort of because of #1, there is little good understanding of how to best make it work in PvP.
- Also because of #1, there will be many more old videos of other frigates in PvP than new ones of the Tormentor.
- The dual weapon setup (lasers+drones) is a turn-off for many.
- It's not very photogenic. In fact, for some people (including myself), it's just creepy. All I see is a creepy grinning thing. Sorry.
On another note, congratulations on the videos! They're looking great. From what I saw of the fights, you may want to look up info on:
- The advantages/disadvantages of buffer/active tanking. Personally I prefer the Tormentor buffer tanked, but it may just be personal preference.
- Tracking, how it works, and how to mitigate poor tracking. Your lasers were missing most of the times in those videos. Hitting "orbit" when you're in a laser ship is generally a bad idea because of lasers' really poor tracking. Try to fly in a straight line, or to keep a fair distance away. Your optimal range is amazing compared to other short range weapons. Take advantage of that.

DR BiCarbonate wrote:And you have to stop shooting to swap crystals Actually, pro tip here:
Right click on your guns to change crystals before turning them off (mouse), then turn the module off via keyboard (F1), pick the new crystal (mouse), and turn it back on (keyboard or mouse). It minimizes firing downtime and can confuse an enemy if you rapidly switch colors. ISD LackOfFaith Ensign Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

Eanok wrote:I will definitely try to do that when swapping crystals. Thanks! You're welcome! It takes a little practice and cool head to get it right, but it's very effective, particularly if you're doing range control by continually swapping Scorch/Multifrequency or something. I've also used it on my beam lasers to swap from Aurora, to Standard, to Multifrequency/Gleam as my target closes in, doing optimal damage at all ranges and astonishing people with the damage output of beam lasers.

Eanok wrote:Ok, tried to take some of your advise, open with the pro crystal swap even, lol. 6 min long fight with an ASB/Neut Slasher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhQq5kHRxUThanks again for the advise! I definetly saw the advantage of reducing transversal with some og my big hits. Still got some work to do but its a push in the right direction. ASB/Neut is hard to beat in a Tormentor, especially once he blaps your drones. Question: I notice your fights are in hisec. Are these pre-arranged where the enemy knows what you will be fielding? If so, you might be disadvantaging yourself (there are high chances that Slasher had an EM Ward Field or something).
Anyway, keep at it! Your piloting looks much better. The more you fly, the more "tricks" you'll learn. For example, I have a piloting trick for my Punisher that stunned my corp mates when it turned a toe-to-toe Punisher vs Rifter fight into an easy win for the Punisher. Try different stuff, find new techniques, win! ISD LackOfFaith Ensign Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

Eanok wrote:everybody seems to always show up with a neut or a vamp. ;-) Well, it doesn't take much to guess that against a laser ship you should bring energy warfare. The good part is that your cap booster mitigates that a lot.
Eanok wrote:It's all good though. IF I can beat something fitted specifically to counter my fit them more of a win for me. :-) True. If you can beat people who are specifically fit to beat you, that's a huge win. ISD LackOfFaith Ensign Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |
