Enyo Gangs Done Right

First, watch the video.
End Of Line Enyo Ganks


This is the End of Line [.EOL] armour variant of the CFC Harpy-inquisitor gang, and it's nothing particularly new as a concept. However, having reviewed their likely fits (including a discussion on Battleclinic of the EOL fit), this is how you do it right.

Enyo-Exequror has some advantages over Blarpy, as nnezu points out; sig is less (21m Enyo vs 35-44 Harpy, MWD off), DPS is higher (250 with Null / 400 Void for the Enyo vs 151 with Rail or 246 Neutron with Void for a Blarpy).

EHP is lower, at 10,500 EHP for the Enyo vs 13,500 EHP for the Harpy.

The Enyo is slightly slower and slower to align than the Harpy, resulting in a lower orbit velocity, and lower transversal.

However, graphing these up in Pyfa shows that versus a typical Vagabond, the Enyo suffers 320 DPS at 2km and the Harpy 350 DPS (conditions: 15 degrees angle to target, max speed without MWD).Therefore, as nnezu says, the analysis backs up the statement that the structure-tanked Enyo outperforms the Harpy in similar circumstances.

In fact, running the MWD the sweet spot may in fact be to orbit at 2,000m/s at 2.8km; quite achievable with the Enyo. 

Similarly, even though the Enyo has a higher align time, the lower sig radius makes it that much harder to lock it in time, so the lower agility doesn't matter in the sense of getting off gates.

I present the fitting for the Enyo, Exequror and Inquisitor below.

I've added some cheap pimp the the Enyo because I cannot fathom metalevel ANP's on AF hulls, and I would suggest that the TD is mostly superfluous and could easily be swapped for res damps to ensure targets never lock you or your logi in time. T2 Hybrid rigs are 4M and do the same job +/- 5 DPS as two T1's, allowing you to add an ambit rig for better Void performance. Cost: 48M ISK.

The EOL video shows a dual cap-boosted, dualprop Execquror, and I supply the fit, below, which is how I would do it. The targeting rig is essential, because the Enyo's low sig radius is actually a penalty in the case of logistics, which delays inbound reps.

 EOL uses Inquisitor frigates, and although I haven't seen any fits, it's not inappropriate to assume that they will go for an AB sig-tanking version. I've gone for polycarbs to up the speed of the AB somewhat, as well as agility.

 Finally, the reason that EOL has gone down this way is that they (at least once) lived in a C5 Wolf Rayet. I've seen videos of C6 WR being done by Guardians and Daredevilss. Under C5 WR conditions, the Enyo (above) pumps out 630 DPS and has a sig radius of 21.

The only additions you would want with this type of gang would be a dualprop Oneiros for blindingly OTT repping, a Daredevil for awesome webs, or an armour Keres for long-range tackle.
