RVN-4X - despite the JJ addition (only Raven to have it)

HUGINN has JJs, no? Then again, you are excused, as it didn't even make the official tier list because it's so... sub-optimal :-D.

I forgot for a moment as I should have said it's the only non-hero Raven that has JJs.

It has too niche a role to be effective on the whole. It's not "useless", but it's literally requiring lots of help to resemble being useful.

I don't plan to write it up again, so that post will suffice as content. I will post about the Stormcrow, Hellbringer, Timberwolf... and possibly Locust when I get the chance. Stay tuned.

Edit: Plans to include the Atlas-S and Centurion-AH as part of the topic update.

I'm debating whether I'd post in the new format or the old format. The Locust is the next in line in addition to the Hellbringer and Gargoyle (the Garg will probably come before the Hellbringer though).

I've put together a post about the Summoner:
http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__4070796

In the short future, the Stormcrow, Hellbringer, and Timberwolf will be on deck.

Nice lists but I think one thing people will ask you about if I don't is:

Why do you believe the Ember is better than the FS9-A/H?

I would like to point out that the posts are dated from when they are posted... since those were pre-quirked info at that point in time.

The Ember is still solid, and cleans up well... but since the quirks, the Firestarter-H is better for medium lasers (based on the quirks) and the Firestarter-A isn't so hot (well, I'm not a fan of the SPL) but is clearly serviceable in combination with the med lasers (a mix of them, if you will).

The Firestarter-S is the special one... only for the mega MPL wub it has going for it... arguably the most powerful of the quirks (although likely to get nerfed soon enough).

So, I'll update the content with new posts as I get it (I'll try to do it on a monthly basis, but no promises)... but here's a quick list:
