Tanking
As far as Tanking there is more a style change than equipment. You'll want to be using your skills to draw attention instead of just dealing damage. The most important way to quickly get aggro just being more visible. So avoiding weapons like Flechettes or other items that lower your signature makes it harder to be the one shot at first. The good news is that by using either Enrage or Shield Inversion (or both!) you can draw attention near instantly from whoever is being attack instead of you. Other than those two skills the other instant way to get aggro is to use the Gravity Link skill or some of you equipment to lower the enemy's resistances but this usually on it's own won't be enough to hold the enemy's attention(otherwise JE's would have a lot more bad days).
There is some equipment that really helps hold aggro and reduce the damage you take and is listed below.
Weapons
- Fury of the Master, The Greater Energy Feedback buff on this alone can glue an enemy using energy to you.
Shields
- Invincible Bastion (150% Hull Damage Control)
Reactors
- Heart of the Master, The Greater Counter-Strike buff on this is one of the best at generating aggro and unlike the Fury will work with all types of incoming damage. By far the most important piece to get to be fully equipped.
Engines
- Obsolete Drone Booster, At 6k this is tied for the highest Signature engine you can equip. Great engine for a group's Tank to have: the enemy start with you, then you work to keep him there.
- Banded Hawk, Also 6k signature but player made
Devices
- Basilisk's Dire Torrent (-42.0 Chemical Deflect)
- Mark of the Dragon (Counter-Strike 12.5 damage) (Only listed here for the poor souls that accidentally didn't get the Seal)
- DV-WP-X3 "Roadrunner Plus" Mk. VI or DV-RW-X3 "Quagmire" Mk. VI (+30% Ship Signature)
- Seal of the Dragon (70% Hull Damage Control)
- Lure (+3100 Ship Signature for 210 seconds)
Swapped Devices
- L8 Snugs 'N Hugs Deluxe Plush Sparkles (8% Hull Damage Control)
Maximum Shield Energy
Achieving the maximum possible shield energy is extremely relevant to both the damage Shield Sap does, AND the healing your group receives from it. The key is to use equipment with Increase Shield Capacity (Equip) that stack (see Effect: Increase Shield Capacity (Equip)) along with strategic buffs from a TT.

Maximum Shield Energy Gear
- 125% L9 Prototype SU 9 122991
- 125% L9 Zenrei Force Projector +10424
- 125% L9 Fury of the Master +9863
- 100% L8 Seal of the Dragon +9020
- 200% L8 Tactical Advantage Beta +13.3%
Maximum Shield Energy Buffs
- L7 Shield Charging Megacharge Shields from TT +25%
- Mark of the Dragon Maximize Shields (Activated) +10% or if you do not have mark Drone Shield Amplifier 8% from PS
Alternate Gear
Weapons - The most important feature you need is the 40% Turbo Projectile which comes easiest from having a player build a Claw of the Dragon but it can also be extremely easy to find a Fury of the Ten-Gu just floating in Cooper near the Tada-O Gate as it has often been replaced by everyone in the guild doing that raid. The only other buff from weapons to consider is the Improved Accuracy which I have listed from the Black Spitter but as that can be hard to get using the player made Archos or less preferably a Longbow Max can be a good solution if you need accuracy until you can upgrade. Alternatively if you do need accuracy but don't want to change your weapons you can use a Decay Octo or Lethargic Octo device for a nice accuracy boost.
- Shields - Between the two player made Crimson Force Barrier and the Skirmish Omega shields you're pretty well covered as soon as you hit OL140. The others listed a just nice to have.
- Reactors - Starting with a player made Ambush Omega is a great place to build from, but can be even easier to get should be the player made Warrior's Heart Delta and Warrior's Pride Delta.
- Engines - Unless you want a buff to a specific skill with a Progen specific engine or increase your deflects with a Crystalline Dynamo stick to the Obsolete Drone Booster, Chang Lung's Wing, Unabating Fire, or Banded Hawk.
- Devices - Too many devices to list that increase specific skills based on the situation. One stand out if partying is the Laser Scope Octo which'll have the JD/JS/JE you're with love you.
KrazeyKami's Alternate Gear
I've written this addendum, since with the above builds, you're always struggling for energy. Projectile range is also an issue, since you won't go above 3.6k without the mentioned Dragon's Fang. We will make clear why this weapon is not a good choice at any rate, even at getting the illustrious 200% build on a ...PW....
I would suggest the following load-out, as it will provide you with these (unbuffed) perks:
- 11427 / 12267 dps (depending on FoTT / FoTM)
- 5518 Reactor Capacity
- 239(!) Reactor Recharge
- +6 Energy renew /sec surplus, thus never running out of juice when firing
- 6k+ projectile range
- 45% projectile turbo (again, unbuffed)
- 132k shield capacity / 148k with Tactical Advantage Beta and Fury of the Master
- 2820(!) Shield recharge /sec
- 4250 warp + 49% warp charge (engage / cooldown for quick getaways)
- 512 thrust speed making an ideal kiting speed
- 9.8k scan range (finally seeing mobs before they see you :))
- 8.5k signature (Great for tanking / diverting attention from your weaker buddies)
- 64 deflect on: Impact / Explosive / Plasma / Energy
- 34 deflect on: EMP / Chemical
- 30 resist on: Psionic
- Weapons:
Pretty much as described earlier in this thread:
- 3x Ten-Gu Bile Cannons as they deliver the highest DPS.
- A Black Spitter for the scan boost, but of course, this can also be replaced by a Ten-Gu Bile Cannon, upping the DPS even more.
- A Fury of the Ten-Gu / Fury of the Master. The Fury of the Master will give you a higher total DPS, around 600 /sec. Both are giving you a shield capacity increase that stacks with the Seal of the Dragon. It's not reflected on the Ship's page on Net-7.org, but it IS reflecting ingame. Might be a bug, but for now it's an extra 9k shield cap. Not sure though if this works as intended with the Seal of the Dragon or the FoTT / FoTM and that they should stack.
And finally, the most important piece: A Brimstone Ballista. The reason for this is the PL range increase, which we will need with this loadout. Yes, a Dragon's Fang also has a PL range increase, but it's at 46% at 100% quality, and 61% at 200%. Good luck building that on your PW. Remember it cannot be traded, and requires you to map that rare drop first, before able to build it (at 200% for those stats). It gives a 3% PL force, but that is making very little difference considering that the DPS for this gun is only 72.5(!) at 100%, and (only) 149.6 at 200%. The BB has better DPS than the DF (154.31% at 200%) and is tradable and thus much more likely to be obtained at 200% for your PW. It gives an additional 896.42 reactor cap, and to top it all off, it gives a 66% PL range increase, again better than the DF.
- Shields:
Crimson Force Barrier. No doubt about it. The Black Force IX might have a higher cap, but the shield recharge is lower, plus it lacks all the awesome buffs the CFB will give you. At end with this build, a Black Force IX gives you 1572 Shield Recharge /sec... the CFB with this build will give you a total of 2820, nearly twice as much. Can't beat that. That being said, the CFB gives a 25.91% increased crit hit, 5.17 skill levels of Combat Trance (giving a huge increase on PL accuracy, damage resistance, reactor recharge rates and shield recharge). Most importantly, the reactor recharge... with this build, the difference between a CFB and BF (on reactor renew alone) is having +6 renew, or -104. The recharge with the CFB is 239, and with the BF 128. Think that speaks for itself, no?
P.S., The Black Force IX might have a higher cap on the device, but in the end it's only a 7k difference with the CFB. And since high level mobs hit you for atleast twice that amount in one shot, it doesn't make that much of a difference).
- Reactors:
Black Power IX. This reactor wipes the floor with any (warrior)reactor in game when it comes to reactor recharge, and is key to the 'never run out of juice' build. Plus it gives a nice 5% turbo on your weapons. My earlier build would have a Heart of the Dark One because of the PL range, but the lower reactor recharge would require me to run a Puk's Wing to compensate for the juice guzzler (projectile energy conservation). Even then, you would have a -52 reactor recharge and thus running out of juice.
- Engines:
The piece de la resistance. You can't go wrong here with this build, but the fact we no longer need to rely on a Puk's Wing for the energy conservation, I would say to pop in an Obsolete Drone Booster. This baby will provide you with a much-needed warp speed increase and warp charge decrease, making the PW no longer the slow-as-hell class they used to be. Even a nice addition to this, would be the immense added high signature (6K), making it perfect for tanking and attracting attention. If you like Shield Inversion, this engine also adds a nice 8.2 dps on that skill. Again, a personal choice and you're pretty much free to choose what u want, but this might be a nice 'fix' for the sluggishly PW.
- Devices:
Not diving into all the swap / buff devices as the OP has that pretty much covered, but for the 'equipped' devices I would recommend an Intolerance Mk. VIII (39.9% damage increase), Seal of the Dragon (+9020 shield cap which STACKS with the FoTT / FoTM shield cap :)), 70% additional Hull Damage Control, making for a total of 320% with the Combat Trance, and a Good Fortune. This will give you the extra deflects on the ones not covered by Combat Trance. The crit increase will be overruled by the CFB, so just carrying it for your deflects. Another good option would be a Tolerance Mk. VIII. If you could care less about deflects, you have an (much needed) extra device slot for your PW! A Tactical Advantage Beta will give you some nice extra's, and bumps your shield to 148k.
This concludes my alternate build section, hope you like it! Ping me ingame if you want to discuss or have more info to add. -Kami.

Leveling Gear
Here's a link to a forum post about preferred leveling gear.
https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/2647-progen-basics/&tab=comments#comment-20275
Weapons
- L1-L2 Executioner's Finger (accuracy is worth the lower dps), Crossbows with an Executioner's Finger is best.
- L2 Razor (+warp charge for faster warping, reduced warp cost, +speed)). Use for travel.
- L3 Bayonets (plasma, chem +warp charge for faster warping, reduced warp cost, +speed)
- L4 Bayonets (see above)
- L5 Rifles (destruction to any mob that cannot recharge their shields)
- L6 Mortars/Longbows (best is a combo), Rifles if you don't mind tearing through a massive amount of ammo.
- L7 Zenshai Power Cannon (Mortars, Longbows are low dps at this level and eat way too much ammo), Slime Cannon(Not a great DPS gun, good on ammo and gives projectile range)
- L8 No 1 Most Value PL Type Zet (great for ammo and dps)
- L8 Claw of the Dragon (40% turbo, pretty much a must have)
- L8 Silver Hammer
- Archos (+crit targeting, +PL accuracy, 485% reduced change of damage to weapons)
- L9 Archos with Claw is standard till you get raid loot or BB weapons.
- L9 Ten-Gu Reaver if you don't use Juggernaut Mk. VIII reactor or when swapping to a L9 reactor (ypappa).
Shields
- L2: Falkirk
- L3-6: Waterloo, Falkirk
- L7: Normandy, Barrier of Ooze.
- L8: Deadly Barrier, Normandy, Barrier of Slime Eight
- L9: CFB Crimson Force Barrier, Normandy are both great starters. CFB being pretty much amazing and matches/beats most Raid Shields. (Opinion)
Reactors
- Travel: **Gives you the much desired Turbo Warp(activated), and fast equipment install time
- Kraken L3-5
- Unicorn L5-6
- Unicorn II L7-L8
- Combat:
- L2-L5: Nero
- L5: Nero, Theodosius
- L6: Foedius vox Redivivus best L6 reactor for ALL classes, has projectile energy conservation (PLs use less reactor). REQUIRES a Power of the Elements device to use). Warrior's Heart, Julius, Theodosius if you cannot get a Foe.
- L7: L6 Foedius vox Redivivus still best recharge
- L7 Shooting Star VII (+damage plus activated recharge) - Foe is still best at L7, but if you want to use devices or a lot of turbo, and want to free up a device slot.
- L7: Warrior's Heart/Julius/Theodosius if you can't get a Shooting Star or Foe.
- L8: Juggernaut Mk. VIII accept nothing else.
- L9 stick with the Juggernaut until you get raid reactor or:
- L9 Shooting Star IX even better than the L7.
- L9 Ambush Omega if you know an Agrippa builder. An amazing reactor.
Engines
- Idle Hands - low sig, low warp drain (this is useful until L8 engines/devices)
- L2: The Range Boosting Engine
- L3: Range boosting Engine or Solar Sail
- L4: Range Boosting Engine or Solar Sail
- L5: Puk's Wing
- L8: Blackspeed
- L8 Deadly Breeze pretty amazing if you can get this to drop.
Pretty much engines are mostly junk. Range boosting is questionable as PWs are not likely to kite since they will always be in range of mob attacks even with max range gear. I skipped rest because it's best to leave engine at 5 because you can get lvl4 SS and Puk's Wing. Only 2 you'll use till Blackspeed at 8. (Opinion, but what pretty much everyone does) Lvl4 SS is useful for FB due to 0 Sig. And getting a Zenshai Nav Comp lvl5 Device is very helpful to lower sig paired with Jenq using their Musca device to lower it by 25% so you don't get the attention of everything when you instantly enter (aka Master).
Devices
- L1-8 Sting (activated PL accuracy and damage)
- L3-8 Lazarus (fast warp engage, less energy used)
- L3-8 Road Runner Plus (fast warp)
- L3-8 Harpy (fast tractor beam for looting)
- L3 V'rix Modified Chimaera's Bite can be obtained from missions via V'rix Equipment Exchange.
- L5 Ward of Living Stone, Zenshai Nav Comp
- L5 Power of the Elements required to use Foedius vox Redivivus reactor
- L5 Aspectus Limo Quinque - +19% Activated crit targetting
- L6 Steingerd's Embrace (activated +30% reactor recharge)
- L6 Stone Aegis wil last until L7 shields (Ward of Muck if cannot get Stone Aegis)
- L7 CVE, Ivory Ward, Harnessed Voltoi Spirit
- L8 Plague's Bite, NOS, Golden Tooth, Pulsing Bullywere, Ebony Ward
- L8 Tang's Alacrity fast warp engage, fast tractor beam
Pretty much. Things with Shield Cap and Resists. Pavis is a really good one a lot do Explosive. Targe, I see plasma common to. I can't think of energy one. If someone can give you levels of the 2 Wards(Resists) I'll add. Combat Trance Devices are good for PWs also. Then course mining Roc/Harpy combo for looting.
