A New Direction: a passive shield Myrmidon

Continuing on my series on passive shield tanking Gallente ships I come to the current pinnacle of my ambition, the passive shield Myrmidon (See here for the passive shield Tristan and here for the Celestis).

A quick flick through Battleclinic shows a very highly rated passive shield Myrmidon that the commentators claim can solo most L4 missions. Now I am neither rich enough nor confident enough to leave my drones shooting rats while I change the baby’s nappy but in the long term the idea is to have Carraig missioning while Slay participates in the MNEE Wormhole operation.

So without any further ado, my passive shield Myrmidon:

With Carriag's currents skills she has 57.5k effective hit points and can tank 438dps. Until Carraig's drone skills improve, missions will be painfully slow and certain rats might well be able to tank the drone damage. Where she differs from the standard passive shield Myrmidon in BC is that her high slots are full of utility, after all I plan to aggro everything then walk away and come back when it is time to salvage.

Now all I need is some time to get my drones skills up and some money with which to buy her!
