Hey there!
I recently got a golem. My current fit is, if i remember right (at work right now hope they dont see this lol):
4 x Siege Launchers II (With the long range Javelin Torps i think)
2 x Tractors
1 x Salv II
1 x Dread Guristas or Dark Blood (smth like that) X-l shield booster
1 x Shield Boost Amp II
3 x Hardeners (Had 2 Photonic and 1 Thermal)
2 x Ballistic II
2 x Caldari Navy Ballistic II
1x extra flight time rig
1x extra missile speed i think
I know its not the perfect fit but it was all i had time to throw on.
I got a lvl 4 mission from the agent in Dodixie - Fed Navy Ass Plant and it was against Amarrian Navy...Smash The Supplier i think it was.
I warp in, start killing but in a couple of secs i was overwhelmed, getting low on cap with my shield dropping. I mean i know my fit is not awesome but my skills are really decent (proficiencies @ lvl 4 )and the tanking ones perfect. It should not take me 3 warp in's to complete the mission should it?
I had to warp away 3 times and dock for cap/shield before i managed to finish it. Took me an hour and a bit.
What am i doing wrong? Any tips are welcome. TY |

Torps with no target painters, that kills your dps. You need at the minimum 2, 3 would be better. Also you said you were doing a mission against Amarr and you have ballistic hardeners, those won't do anything to help your tank. |

Sorry what was i thinking. I got 2 of the named Target Painters. Look, slots were missing lol.
And the 2x ballistic are the dmg mods not hardeners. I had 2 EM and 1 Therm tech 2 hards on. |

Still i was getting ****d after barely killing 5-6 bs's. |

I fed in what I think is your setup into EFT and without running the salvager or tractors it looks like your cap would last under 2 minutes even with all skills at 5. Now, I'm not saying you need to be cap stable, but that's a bit short, even if you are cycling the booster. |

Don't forget the bits next to some of the ships about NOS and "high kinetic damage." Also, blow up the control tower and leave. And read the comments on strategies. The DPS is pretty high in that mission. |

I'd either drop the shield boost amp for a cap booster (800s), or get a deadspace shield booster. |

This. Unless you really, really want a ton of Amarr tags just snipe it and get out. But then, the Golem is entirely the wrong ship for that. I don't think I've ever even thought of killing everything in that one. |

either get more therm/EM resists or get a buddy or fit some cruise launchers  and snipe this mission is one of the hardest L4 out there |

I run that mission with a Paladin and a Nightmare. There is a ton of incoming DPS in that mission. I tried using my Golem once, but even with a better tank than yours it couldn't tank it long enough. |

This mission was quite easy for me in a Machariel, if i stick at about 70km with high transversial stuff dies quickly and nothing can hit you. |

Yeah. It's 14 shots with 1400s, so 3.5 minutes.... Which says nothing about how to make it work in a Golem, naturally. |

Because you are using torps against alot of fast ships with small sig radius!!]
If you really must use torps you need rigor rigs aswell as TP or more than 1 TP |

Regarding the incoming DPS. Even my Machariel and my Vargur (Both AC fit) shiver in fear.
Totally normal to be overwhelmed in that mission.
And yes, your golem needs moar TP' s |

Stating the obvious, but you are flying a ship with an EM hole against enemies that do EM damage. Therein lies your problem.
You'd be better off sniping it from range in a cruise raven if you can only fly squids... |

Some things to add:
swap the mwd if you donīt have a 3% grid implant and donīt fly Worlds Collide for another TP or cap injector.
Use javelins only on 40+km targets and only if theres nothing else big enough to shoot (they are out of tractor and javs slow you down and make less dmg)
As You can see i use faction torps for anything up to 42km.
This should suffice for any level 4 mission if you fit your hardeners correctly and use the right torps
edit: ofc use the same torps in every launcher, i just have an jav in there to see my range with those ;-) |

Yeah, that mission is almost impossible in a short range boat. Switch to cruise missiles for that one.
I used to run it solo in my CNR. As soon as I landed I'd start heading away from the tower and orbit just short of max targeting range. Kill anything that webs first(!) then start on anything that's close to you. Once you get out to range, some of the reinforcement stuff won't agro until you shoot them. And in some missions (I can't remember if this is one of them) the NPC's will only get so far away from their spawn point before they turn back. So, if you're far enough away, they'll never get into range. The whole trick is to get out to range before the incoming DPS overwhelms you, then you're golden.
I haven't tried it, but the "default warp range" trick might work here too. Before you activate the acceleration gate to enter the deadspace, set your default warp range to something like 100km (right click warp button). Then you'll land at that range away from the beacon and should be pretty far from the rats. Just remember to set it back to 0 before you leave the mission. |

Watch out for the Imperial Templar Judgements in that one. They are the ones with the navy apoc skin on them and they seem to do as much damage together as the rest of the pocket combined. Unless you can keep everything at about 60km from you your tank will struggle. |

Please also do not forget +5% ROF, +5% Torp damage and +5% explosive radius implants
make sure to use 3-4 painters as suggested and get signature focusing to at least Level 4.
Also be sure to kill elite frigs first with drones.
If possible, warp to the mission at about 80% of your max torp range. |
