Here's my Blackjack BJ-1 Large Pulse Laser build, which I find works pretty well. If you want to keep with the pulse theme you can swap the medium lasers for SPLs. The BJ-1X is probably a better chassis for an energy build though.

Not a medium mech, but I also like my L'il Backstabber. A 169kph Locust 3M with 5 SPLs. You can also drop a heatsink and replace the center SPL with a MPL. If you can be sneaky you can really annoy mechs (until they target you and turn you into a 20 ton smoking pile of twisted metal).

Look no further than the Banshee 3M, or as I like to call it the WubShee.

7 MPLs, 1 LPL moving at 75 KMh cooled by 23 DHS. You have a hard time finding more than 52.6 aimed damage in a mech. If you want to go a tad slower, you can build the S Banshee to have an AC20 and 8 MPLs, for 68 aimed damage. That one is very hot.

GFN-1N and -1s, SHD-2D, and SHD-2K can go over 100KPH carrying an LPL and 2xMPL. 2K's are in the torso, so that's a bit gimped. Griffin carries them all in one arm, has better twist, better cockpit view, and more jumpjets.

I've liked using the 1N with pulses and streaks. Fast and agile though obviously with poor range.

Based on B33f's partyback, I give you the partystarter

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...3de8d389031ed07

8 SPLS, 150.2 kph, 3 jj.

Run in, 2 alpha's into someone back, run out and cool off.

[danneskold]

I run one model of Firestarter with 6MPL. Helps when you get elite on it for heat. Its hot, but not terrible!

You down engine a little bit, but still stay over 140 with tweak, and still have JJ.

151kph 4MPL ECM Wubcada.

[/thread]

…no, seriously. You can’t really do better than this for fast, disruptive wub-lovin’. The Spider comes close, and has the definite advantage of jump jets, but the Wubcada adds a fourth laser and, most importantly, competes in the Medium bracket rather than the Light, which will start mattering a lot at some point here when 3/3/3/3 goes live. It also has more armor than the Spider, which is sort of a wash thanks to the Spider’s dark sorcerer hitboxes, but here’s the other thing – nobody shoots at Cicadas, even ECM Cicadas. Absolutely everybody shoots at Spiders. It’s far, far easier to drop aggro in a Cicada than a Spider. And besides. Wubcada’s got far more class.

Its going to run really warm

The 9 SPL Hunchback is cheap and hilarously effective. Also, pulse lasers in general just got a well deserved buff. Just realize you need to pick your battles and not blindy charge into situations that will get you killed.

I've been running a 4 mpl 4mg ember with a couple other guys doing the same. A lance of these is just a piranha infested river. GG

I use a Treb 3C with 4 MPLs, 2 Streak 2s, AMS, BAP, 14 DHS, Endo, FF and an XL325 for a top speed of 115 KPH. Just had a game the other night where I did 820 damage. Not bad for an under-rated Trebuchet.

Here's mine http://mwo.smurfy-ne...98af000ae1f7b71

WLF-2 Simple and effective. Its size and shape make it hard to hit and good hit boxes make it even harder to bring down. Next to the spider, probably the most survivable IS light in the game. 140kph and 36 point alpha give it bite. 10% heat reduction quirk keeps it cool enough to bring down anything except multiple enemy lights. Steak crows still suck, however. Its power and speed also make it a good backstabber.

No jj's was a turn off for me initially, but in reality using jj's in a fight usually just make you an easier target
