¶ Summary
The Rokh is a battleship with bonuses to large hybrid range and shield tanking. The Rokh is the battleship entry in the Caldari line of thickly tanked snipers, after the Merlin, Cormorant, Moa, and Ferox. The bonus to optimal range along with the natural long range of railguns makes them one of the easier battleships to set up for sniping while maintaining a strong tank. The Crucible buff to hybrids has given the Rokh a new lease of life and it now competes in fleet fights on an equal footing with Apocalypses and Maelstroms.
In PvE, the Rokh is very slow and suffers from serious application issues - the Raven is much more effective in almost all PvE scenarios.
¶ Skills
Large Hybrid Turret to V to use Tech 2 large railguns.
Sharpshooter to V to use Tech 2 large railguns.
Large Railgun Specialization to at least IV to take advantage of the extra DPS.
All of the skills for a full Tech 2 shield tank.
