a bling Kronos could rep more per cycle than it had in armour hp's. this meant it needed a plate to function. It has gained a mid and with the armour buff has also gained a low slot as plate is not mandatory anymore - lesican
The bastion time is going to increase the number of solo marauder mission runner ganks in WH's. There was already very little margin for escape. Now its almost impossible unless you just happen to be at the end of a cycle when you see something.

I'm sad that the Vargur got hit with the shield nerf but it was totally justified. Excited for the armor flexibility, Absolutely what Minmatar should be boasting. Looking forward to more videos! Ewok Capricious
Great video! Precise and to the point. I noted my paladin going from 54km with conflag down to 51km so nothing too dreadful. The 60s bastion is slightly annoying as for PvE but certainly not game changing like it is for thje PvPers.
I'm happy about the Kronos being comparatively less crappy and the Caldari Lancer using hybrid weapons, because I already have hybrids maxed out and nothing in the other specific gunnery skills. Thanks for the vid and skin chance! ign: Caverlock
Thanks for the video. I’m completely ambivalent about the changes to marauders - being a relative noob - I’ve never flown one and I’m not likely to anytime soon. However I’d love to win that skin…IGN - Sparkie Lightbourne
The range on the Paladin will hit me in level 4... 😞 Now I'll only be able to use scorch for everything 😞 Also the E-war change is stupid. One of the main features of the bastion was the (possible) immunity against e-war ...
I despair over the constant changes not just in Eve but many games, they bring in an item, it gets used for years in some cases, then suddenly they say it needs changes and is unbalanced, been like that for ages, you only just noticed?? does not matter in the end, there will be people working the numbers and theory crafting and another ship will be king for a while, we have seen fleets of ships used, then they get nerf'd and a new ship is FoTM, until that gets hit, the cycle is endless, soon as the top spot, the best ship for that role is in general use, they nerf it and it all starts again.
Unfortunately, the nerf to the Vargurs shield tank probably kills it for trighunting. :/ Even with the pre-Viridian stats, with maxed Orca boosts, and HG Crystals in my head, there were a few grids that required some heavy overheating to not end up as a wreck. With the lost tank this makes such grids probably no longer survivable.
As much as I love these changes I do hope CCP shakes up the WH meta in general. Trig ships & nighthawks/lokis have been here a little too long lol IGN : Ben Bitenchett
I think there was no changes to ECM resistance for bastion, so hold on with you griffins: Removed the electronic warfare resistance bonus to Sensor Dampener, Tracking Disruptor, and Target Painter resistance.
Gonna make small gang pvp against marauders an option . Used to be drop 2 vargurs on a 10 man small gang and there was nothing they could do. Damp frigates and tracking disrupt frigates are gonna be able to be used to basically shut them down
lol they try to nerf here to compensate there for no reason. you already focus alots just to fly this ships only to make then useless lol. eve was better when it was on the original developers hands now its just a dea money grab at best lol

That ewar hit is HUUUUUGE

Great video, thanks for the information. Will be interesting to see what meta shakes up due to the changes
A much needed change to WH pvp meta which hopefully will inspire greater variety to the brawling compositions. IGN: Deeted

Just when i was about to come back to have some fun with my Vargur. You save me the trouble :D ty.
I still rock mine, definitely still fun to take out on the daily.

Very nice man, chill vibes and good info all round o7
They're also adding an extra 15% fire rate and tracking for large railguns
For Kronos players...who use Railguns, apparently.
Informative, to the point, with great backing visuals. Great job! IGN Jager Diehard
Sitting in my work truck thinking "I have 6 minutes left on my break and don't know anything about the Marauder changes... what do I watch?"
Found it.
i owned some vargurs but i never used them much.. but im more happier to see my beloved Kronos get big upgrades. IGN: Serenety
Good information in a short video. like

+1 mid slot for kronos opens up pvp shield tanking, and you can get up to 6.3k dps heated+ boosters
You got no shield bonuses on Kronos ...

thank you!
keep up the good work. you’ve earned a sub from me

I think i read about a compensation 4 the added mass change of the marauders? Maybe only an mobilty bonus but not speed? IGN Martin Wegner
They added agility so you align faster ( or back to normal )
Great vid, thank you.
Precise and to the point, loved it.

thats good to have more risk. leave trigs alone

What a swell wee video, thanks

get ready for leshaks again, they will probably take the paladins pvp crown

Bastion doubles your sensor strength but you could always been jammed. Nothing was changed for ECM on marauders
Well then, that's given me a lot to think about. I was in the process of trying to get into a Paladin...

If its for ratting its still the king!

Thank you for this video ! I had seen the marauder changes but I was not sure of what they ment. IGN : DEATH ALMARANDO
get lanced :p nice video dude
What are your thoughts on the ewar changes for marauders? Ign: Yhivi Whitestorm
Gonna make small gang pvp against marauders an option . Used to be drop 2 vargurs on a 10 man small gang and there was nothing they could do. Damp frigates and tracking disrupt frigates are gonna be able to be used to basically shut them down
"Skill changes coming up" What skill changes? Related to marauders?
No more e-war immunity .... damn .... gotta blow the dust off my blackbird .... IGN: Lone Belter
when i loged on and saw that im slow with mwd on my vargur something inside me died

Someone a good Vargur Fit for Ratting Serpentis Rats in 0 Sec? :-)
i feel like people forgot how bad the 2 minute bastion was, 60 seconds isn't as world ending as people are saying.
There never was 2 minute bastion.
@@marcustulliuscicero5443 sorry 90 seconds, you’re right
epicdragon bad name i know but have had it since 12
As a new player and being space poor seems not logical to fly these now.
Ouch, I was thinking oh those nerfs aren't to bad... then I was hit with the Ewar immunity change. Welp GG marauders lol IGN: NA BackPacK
I'll be honest I dont have a good comment but I still want free stuff ;) IGN Audeles Talased
my kronos feels weaker now
IGN: SEB19 Thellere
All that training for nothing but more nerf. F eve.
We still use, excluding the bastion timer I honestly hardly notice the nerf . They are very powerful platforms
once again eve gets nerfed cause of pvpers, damn this game
also ign Michal Fogel
lol they try to nerf here to compensate there for no reason. you already focus alots just to fly this ships only to make then useless lol. eve was better when it was on the original developers hands now its just a dea money grab at best lol
20 years of beta testing....nerf....boost...nerf again?
Eve battleships are now slower than an airplane.
I think EVE ships run on diesel.
Pathetic.
