Don't think so, I'm not saying it needs to be better than x. Just wanted to see peoples view about them.

Re: Troiar

Yea I really struggle when people say 'x is rubbish'  because it really does depend on the fitting and the situation your in.

But saying that, 7 years later and CCP still balancing their ships, likewise with PO im sure were in for a long and rocky road of balances and tweaks.

Re: Troiar

not really.

i agree with ppl who think that intakts are better suited for all out ewar, with the 4 headslots. 

however troiar's are probably a mroe balanced Bot, that is probably better in smaller groups, where some DPS is also necessary.

I have seen some well kitted out Troiar's running around ICS Alpha, most notably E-Corps seem to have a few good ones. Ask one of their players, who it was, and what kit they use.

If you're in a group were your EWAR is concerned with DPS then something is wrong.

Useless? No.

Are they the best e-war bot? No.


Each faction e-war bot has a role to play. Best thing would be to play the correct role with the correct faction e-war bot.

Re: Troiar

Troiar is simply awsome, you just need some extensions to make it effective. With the right extensions, right equipment and right knowledge it is very effective if you know for what you want to use it. If you're comparing it with an Intake, you definitely don't get the point of the Troiar.

Re: Troiar

I have my Troiar fitted with 1 ecm,  2 drainers, 1 neut, 1 demob, lwf, and a shield. So I would assume my roll is snare and drain AP. Is that correct?
