Maybe i should just practice, and have my PSR drop, but i am not sure i will ever get it to work right.. So that in mind, anyone have some builds they use in this thing that don't include a gauss? I wanted to just put an ac-20 in it, but it won't fit. I was thinking UAC5, but just one? might be lack luster.. I was also thinking just stuffing missiles and energy in one side, going STD and using right side as a sheild. Anyways, after 6+ matches and 1500 XP, i figured i would ask you guys.. cause so far it aint working at all.

I think i would try something like these lines without gauss,use those jump jets in brawls and spreading damage.
But i do highly recommend trying out the gauss in testing grounds with 3 large lasers,assign the gauss to groups 1,4-6 so your reticle reacts better when you charge it and the release is easier to time when you get an visual confirmation via the reticle.When alphastriking,charge the gauss first and instantly when you let go of the gauss trigger,press the lasers and aim for the same spot,works for ppcs too.Needs bit of practice,but couple of hours of testing grounds it should be somewhat of an reflex.

As for the victor... Yeah, kinda hard to figure out what ta do. You could try an Ac 10 an ppc build, but I don't have one myself, so don't know what would work.

The Gauss Rifle is seriously the best idea. The AC-10 is somewhat underwhelming, UAC-5 is not a good idea and you can't fit an AC-20. Even if it's a hellish grind stick to the Gauss and get used to it, it will only do you good in the long run.

The best result I had with 3xLPL + UAC5. You just need to fire it more then once if you are not the focus.
But honestly, Victors are bad. The 3K is the worst of them all. I sold it. Kept my S and my DS. Sometimes I use my Dragon Slayer poptart ... just for good old times

This is just not true. You have a full one second window in which to discharge the gauss rifle, so you should be charging it as you come out from behind cover (or out of a twist) and then firing it when you have a good target.

This helped me improve my gauss firing by a lot.

I think for the time being I think i might give this a try for leveling as i really wanna get them to master. The idea with the 3 puise and ac-10 i might try as well, as i run a fang with an ac-10 and dual pulse with fairly decent success. SO i think they would play a bit similar in that sense, albeit a bit slowe, ok maybe more than a bit (15KPH, those dragons are fast!)
But this might work out ok.. with proper twisting i should be able to really tank well in this set up. Only way to see is to try..

But i suppose i should spend a weekend in testing grounds one of these days..

But I still remember how fun it is to have a JJ assault with a lot of speed.
Here is a Quick Assault for you to try.
One dead side for shielding (granted, the XL engine makes it a bit less tough to kill - Side torso and all that - but you can try a Slower Version with a STD engine for increased durability).
Try them and have fun.

I know you were looking for non gauss builds but the gauss is ideal for this mech ( IMO )
Put the gauss in ANY of the weapon groups you are not using. This will put more "green dots" around the targeting reticule when the rifle is charged. Makes the sound of charging less important, because lets be honest you can't hear that **** in the heat of battle.
Gauss is also extremely fast, negating any ballistic experience you've had previously. It will take a bit of time, but it is worth it. 15 dmg where you want.

I know you run that (and similar mechs) a lot, but I have to ask...4 tons of gauss ammo? It seems like a second JJ or an XL340 would a be better use of tonnage than that last ton.
Heh I suppose you could get away with that, but I've been down to the last couple shots many times, any dual gauss mech I have usually has 8 tons of ammo.
Never want to run out of Gauss ammo.
Edit; you know me well.

I just can't get enough Gauss. But I do have lots of other types of mechs without Gauss.

Thank. FWIW, I run 20-30 depending for a single gauss and 40-50 on DWFs for two, 50-60 on JM6/EBJ dual gauss. If I run out, we probably won.

Oh, i did not know that. that might help. As for gauss, I did use it when i first stated playing. My first 100 matches were in a trial Dragon that had a gauss and 2LL's. It's what hooked me on the game. but that was before the charge up mechanism. I haven't run a single mech with it since. I more of a AC-20 kinda guy. I like to brawl and my long range aim is suspect
