-The passive aggressive (passive shield tanking for angel pve)
+This article will discuss the use of passive shield tanking for PvE in general and PvE vs Angel in particular. A passive tank is not recommended for PvP. Due to base resists, shield tanks are weakest to Sansha and Amarr factions, so armor setups are usually better against them while the natural base resists of shields lends them well towards tanking Angel rats.

-However, passive shield setup battlecruisers can reach high enough regen rates to cope with high-sec exploration sites (watch) and lvl3 missions against any NPC type.
-So the principles explained here work for most ships of battlecruiser size or smaller.
