What it can or cannot tank: Lvl4 Damsel - just shoot pleasure hub LVL4 Blockade (Sansha or Serpentis) - just kill the triggers Lvl4 Enemies Abound 5 - just shoot the gate The maze Angel cartel naval shipyard 8/10 plexes Other stuffs With T2 purgers, 2 +3% shield implants (shield HP and regen) and (racial) pithum A-type shield amps you can get a 100% passive setup that will tank 3k+ dps on 2 resists. 2400 SDE omni 100% passive is also attainable. With 1 invuln (cap lasts 50minutes or so) you can get that up to around 2800 omni I believe. Basically it is capable of tanking a 10/10 plex permanently if you really feel so inclined. For 'practical' use however most people fit 2 BCS and 2 drone tracking links and still tank lvl4s like crazy so really tank is NOT the issue with a rattlesnake.

Can it tank that 150k damage torpedo in the maze or whatever plex that features it?I don't think it can be answered with just EFT, hence the reason I'm asking about it. Any mission or plex that it cannot tank?
TimNeilson Minmatar The Greater Goon Clockwork Pineapple	Posted - 2010.07.31 21:50:00 - [5] you can do a fully passive 2k dps omni-tank setup, too, although that requires really high-level deadspace gear, t2 rigs, etc
Orion GUardian Caldari	Posted - 2010.07.31 22:10:00 - [6] To answer the other question: I do not think it can tank the Maze missile if it isn't 1. fitted only for EM dmg and supported by a logi. It has a big sig radius due to shield and this torp isn't to be laughed at. Ofc I have no experience trying that ^^

Any mission or plex that it cannot tank? No those have to be sig tanked with a logi support. A few 10/10s can put out 3k dps if you agro everything which it may or may not be able to tank. There's an unrated site that also shoots out 180k damage torps that it won't be able to tank. There are probably a few more The hard exploration sites and 10/10s are meant to be done in a group so they usually have a gimmick or something that forces you to bring more.
