For awhile now I have been getting requests to do a Heavy Tanking Shield Boosting Guide. Many asked for more stuff about using ASBs (Ancillary Shield Boosters) and others just wanted to learn PVP in larger ships.
My answer to that is the Shield Boosting Guide, which I have been working on for a long time now. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I kept adding to it and wanting more and more footage until now when I feel like it is an awesome guide.
The new Shield Boosting Guide will be released on Sunday August 24th at 20:00 EVE Time (That’s 4 pm USA Eastern Time).
Here is a quick teaser for the new guide:

So just whats in the Shield Boosting Guide?
First of all, it has quite a few different ships and setups. There's a Brawling Vaga and Kiting Vaga. There's two (so far) Cyclone Fits, Three Moa Fits, and a Triple ASB Drake Fit (crazy, but it works). Plus I plan on adding quite a few more and even some Battleship fits and footage soon.
Then there is the Fitting Video Discussion where I teach you about the fits, why it's fit that way, and how to make the most of each ship. Followed by a discussion about Implants, Drugs, and Warfare Links (not required but there if you decide to use them).
Next, there is a Tactics Lecture where I teach you the general tactics and operation of Shield Boosting Ships. Things like how to get the most out of your Tank and how to disengage and get away when things go bad.
Finally, there are HOURS of real life PVP Footage where you watch me fly all of the ships and tell you exactly what's happening as I go. This is the fastest and easiest way to learn PVP.
The Shield Boosting Guide will be released at 20:00 EVE Time on Sunday August 24th.
...and as always there will be a very special First Day Bonus!
Of the people who buy within 24 hours of release I will be drawing three people.
The First winner will get EVERY GUIDE FREE. That's right, you will get every PVP and ISK Guide on EVE Pro Guides for FREE.
The Second winner will a free 1 on 1 roam with me in the ship types or fleet of their choice.
Finally, the third person will get me as their Corp or Alliance FC for an Epic Interceptor Roam through Null Sec.
To celebrate I will be doing some Twitch Streams again when I get time each night.

Nice video!
EC-300s? Literally Hitler sir. But really awesome video, looking forward to the guide. Kinda hope I get the third one though in the drawing.
Would it be possible to purchase it early and then just wait for it to be unlocked Sunday at 2000? I’m not entirely sure I’ll have internet access that day.
I hate them too, but I sometimes carry them as a way to escape. However, I don’t think I’ve used them for that in a long time.
Yes, I should be able to get you a link later today by email.
Yeah they make pretty decent “ohshit” buttons. I think the last time I used them was on a deimos last December. Tackled a Prophecy and found out that it was a nuet prophecy after I got in close.
Lol, was watching the video and highly entertained by the Vaga section when I realised it’s a bunch of my corpmates you were taking to school there! If I see you in local I’ll look forward to -my- lesson! 😉
Nice… That was a very fun fight.
Cool! Still – How much will it cost? And do you still plan to release Harpy and Algos guides? 😉
I have the Harpy Guide 90% finished, but delayed that to do this guide first. I will go back and finish it after this one. Ideally I will release it before the end of September.
I’ve also done some work on a Deimos Guide, but I’m not satisfied with it yet, and want to spend more time perfecting the tactics and fittings.
Dood if I won the epic roam, you would probably just shoot me and get it over with. I’ve been in Eve for just under 5 years, and except for a gank over 2 years ago have just started to learn Pvp. That’s right, I’m a miner….. However the miner bumper’s are the one’s who started me on the path to ganking…. gankers. Yes I use the cat, and I gank them when I find them. I gank all gankers, and Miner bumpers on site. See yall in the funny papers. I go by the Mule Code. Look for us soon, miners are gonna start shooting back
So, when are you going to tell everyone which Day One prize I won?? 😉
With my luck, I’ll win first prize when I already own all the guides.
Seriously, your guides have helped me out of my industrialist boredom and into RvB so I can get even more fights. I used to get creamed all the time and now I have about a 1.5:1 kill but a 4:1 isk thanks to your guides.
Thanks for your work!
Awesome job, I’m happy the guides are helping you.
The drawing is tough because I am having to manually go through and copy paste everyone email address to a spreadsheet then use a random number generator to pick 3 numbers.
But, I hope to get it done tonight. When I do I will post them on the front page of the site. (not email addresses, but the usernames and then send a email to all the winners)
