Summary
There's nothing quite like a face-melting barrage of lasers from 250km away, and judging by the Oracle, the Amarr Navy seems to agree. This Attack Battlecruiser has a weak tank, like its comrades, the Tornado, Naga and Talos. However, it has the guns to meet the damage and (most importantly) range of anything short of the capital-sized beasts of lowsec. Because of their weak tanks, the Oracle and its buddies are often sniper fit to avoid close quarters confrontations.
Unlike the other attack BCs, the Oracle can also fit pulse lasers and use Scorch ammo and kite at 60km. This allows high damage and good tracking, while still remaining out of range of most ships with medium weapons. Loading Multifrequency and brawling is an option but usually a last resort for pulse Oracles, making a shield tank for speed the more usual choice for this setup, though pulse armor Oracles are not unknown.

- Designed for PvE action in the range from 40 to 100 km. There is some tank, but this is not a brawl fit.
- With all skills at V and before boost, the ship has 22.5 K EHP, flies at 530 m/s (670 m/s with afterburner on overheat) and align in 9.7 s with AB on (7.4 s off).
- Damage varies between 700 dps at 38 + 25 km with Imperial Navy Multifrequency to 292 at 121 + 25 km with Imperial Navy Radio.
- A big weakness of this fit is the poor tracking of the lasers. If you get engaged by fast orbiting ships or drones you're in trouble. Try to stay at range and snipe them before they get too close, otherwise warp out. Replacing the Cap Recharger II with a Tracking Computer II and a Tracking Speed Script helps, but at the expense of cap stability.
- The powergrid fit is tight. If you can't fit as is, consider replacing the Energy Locus Coordinator Rig with an armor rig such as a Trimark or an Anti-Explosive Pump

- Designed for Blood Raider Forsaken Hubs, this beam oracle puts out lots of dps at decent ranges, but has little tank
- Range tanking is the goal here, it is not for gated missions that will force you into short range with frigates
- The Navy heatsink is not required if you use a 1% implant, but honestly you will make the money back on it fairly quickly anyway, and the extra dps is always nice
- Although the tracking is fairly iffy for small targets, this is a DPS and money MACHINE in the right scenarios.
- Use INMF for below 55KM, Gamma for 55+, and if you really want to heap on the range, use further range ammo or T2 ammo

Tactics
Shield Megapulse
Mid range kiting, using Scorch this thing is a monster of applied DPS at ranges of about 60km down. Stay aligned to something at all times, the Shield Oracle is VERY Squishy. Try to stay as close to your optimal range with Scorch as possible, and switch to INMF or Conflag if something is getting quite close (30km or less)to burn them down ASAP. Getting tackled means death, so don't be afraid to pop that hero frigate your FC didn't notice that could screw up someone's day.
Armor Megapulse
Has higher tank than shield at the cost of mobility, and possibly range or tracking, depending on mid choices and loaded scripts. Theoretically a 2 TC Armor Oracle can have the same range OR better tracking (but at less range) than a Shield Oracle, however not using a cap booster negates another of the Armor Oracle's pros, the ability to use a cap booster for longer engagements. Armor orac00ls are also much more flexible with tank, for example you could drop a heatsink for another EANM, then swap the Adaptive Nano Plating to a resist specific plating (Kinetic vs Drake heavy fleet, etc).
Beams/Tachs
Less DPS than Megapulse counterparts at close to medium range, but more flexibility with falloff, and also able to go to huge range. Ideal engagement range is greater than 60km, vs 60km or lower ideal engagement range on Pulse. Again, stay aligned to something, as tank can end up quite flimsy with those big beam lasers hogging up a lot of fitting. Consider just going full range tank to maximize your beam's advantage at long ranges.
