Hey y'all,
At risk of starting another battlemaster thread...

I think a pretty obvious but solid 400XL build is 6ML and a ballistic with plenty of heat sinks and ammo. The ballistic lets you engage while closing or snipe in early stages and then you get up close and melt things with the lasers. That said I'm interested in peoples experiences with the ballistic choices. I have tried:

2xAC2 - benefit of range, great suppression and high DPS but they do run warm and require you to expose yourself for longer. Possibly my favourite so far.

1xAC5 - not quite enough punch? But lets you fully max armor and fit an extra heat sink over 2 ac2.

1xUAC5 - I don't love using just one UAC as it jams often and then you're toothless.

1xAC10 - pretty nice but less range compared to smaller AC and if you're going for burst damage instead of dps is 10 really enough?

1xLB 10-X AC - Most people don't consider this a viable weapon but its OK in this build, improves your chances of hitting lights slightly and can soften up several components to then get a burst of laz0rs.

Haven't tried the Gauss on it - has anyone else (assuming it even fits?)

What are you running or considering?

I like the idea that you had for a fast assault, it is actually what I built with my Highlanders and Victors. That being said here is one that I use since I had a spare 400XL sitting around (from my Boar's Head). http://mwo.smurfy-ne...c7c232aac71c17b You will want to run the MLs in 2 groups of 2 to control heat. And Gauss will fit on it.
