You have the power of knowledge. My fit was going to be twice as expensive and twice as bad until I saw yours! Thank you! By the way, I had to change Power Grid rig to lvl 2 and distance rig to lvl1 in order for this fit to work
Such great information! This is my first time finding your channel. Thanks for the great walkthrough. I'm starting L4s soon and I want to give the maelstrom a try!
Generally, Optimal + 1/2 Falloff is all you want as your "max range". Because beyond 1/2 Falloff, accuracy drops off quickly. At full Opt + Falloff, you're only 50% accurate therefore only half DPS which is really awful. At 1/2 Falloff its 85% accuracy.
Hello there! Thx for the video. I have a question. In the beginning of your video you fit the Maelstrom with 8 1200mm Artillery Cannon II. You load them with Phased Plasma L. And then you get 342.2 dps. I do exact the same thing but still I only get 162.7 dps. Do you have implants or something that enhance your damage? Thank you for your time!
Yes sometimes in these videos I forget to change to an empty clone, so I may have a damage boosting implant on. 342 and 162 is a big difference, far more than an implant would provide. So it's mainly a skills issue. Surgical Strike, Rapid Firing, Large Projectile Turret, Large Artillery Specialisation and Minmatar Battleship will all affect the damage output of this Maelstrom! 😎
@@garethj1123 This may have been one of the videos where I forgot to jump clone into an empty clone before starting....I did that all too often on this series(!) If PG is the problem for you, perhaps change the tracking enhancer out for a power diagnostic? OR you could reduce the Ambit Extension rig to T1 then upgrade the Current Router to T2? Or it could be a skills issue. Advanced Weapons Upgrades reduces PG need of all weapons by 2% per level, so at level 5 that's a big saving of 10%. 😎😎
But you do know that artillery is not about the damage per second (dps) but all about the volley a.k.a. alpha damage? DPS just don't matter when you can oneshoot frigates, destroyers or smaller cruisers!

This video was really helpful. I am moving into the maelstrom soon and appreciated the information.

Yeah it's hard making fits when everybody has different skill levels and implants! 😅

Glad you found it useful! Just bear in mind that this was done on a character with more or less maxed out skills 😎
@@CadePlaysGames Flying to Amarr to fit my Mael for L4s right now! Wish me luck!

Thank you for uploading these types of videos they help me so much♥ i learn so much about fitting also
I do like to show the thought process during fitting, instead of just saying "this is the fit".

@@CadePlaysGames hahahah at 37:29 i did not know ccp was that lazy with the rocks
@@MilianSwe Some missions look terrible, some look ok. It's like they started off taking the time to do it properly then gave up. 🤣
@@CadePlaysGames 🤣
great video thank you

The fit in the description doesn't match your final fit it seems like!
I've been hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out why my powergrid can't support it lol

Yeah nothing feels more awesome than one shotting a cruiser (or battlecruiser if you're good) 😎
