Does The Misery Still Kill It?

I use to build it two ppcs 1 guass, 3 medium lasers.
Any ways, I don't feel like the waiting time on the gauss suits it peak shoot fast and get back to cover style it use to have.
So I tried a new build. 3 large pulse lasers and AC 10. So far 3/3 games I won with it. Going to try going back to the misery and see how I can do with it.
Does the misery still kill it like the old days? It use to the best Mech I think. If anyone still dominates with it what builds do you do with it?

I usually run dangerously... AC/20 and 2 PPCs. Nothing else but massive standard engine, ammo, and some extra heatsinks. It deals 40, then 40, then 20 until the cows come home. Fire, twist, fire, twist... Repeat. The weapons have the same recycle times.
I like how the AC/20 and PPCs don't trigger GH. Also, you get both medium and short range power, with unlimited ammo for the PPC20. The AC/20 will fire longer than any set of Lasers in a prolonged fight.
I like it very much.

Mine is set up that way, though not exactly like the MM build - I detest taking half-tons of AC20 ammo, as it rounds down in shots, so I trim half a ton off the legs to push the ammo up to 4t.

I've been playing mostly mediums of late, but my recent memories of the Misery ranged between "MU-HAHA! I AM A GOD OF DESTRUCTION" and "God dammit my AC20 got instantly blown off again"

Maulers and King Crabs have taken over their gunboat crown, but Stalkers still have better hitboxes and hardpoints. And the Misery is still the most entertaining Stalker to drive.

I'm sure it is an effective sword and board mech, but I was not impressed by it.

They last as long as they always have, its just that in this day of structural quirks, rather than losing the side torso and the weapon, you keep the side torso longer.
So, you notice it more because the weapons are gone before the structure is.
The Stalker has way better hitboxes than the Warhawk, too. And is much better at hulldown ridgehumping.
On the other hand, the Warhawk is faster and generally going to be more agile.

Classic builds are the already mentioned "meta" with 2PPC + AC20 and a shield side to twist and "shout", another good one is 3 LPL (one ct, 2 lt) and AC20 - has also a shield side and can zombie.
I also used 2 ERll at lt, 2 ml at rt, one ml at ct and AC20 - runs a bit hot, is suited for long range combat and knife fighting, but neither as well as the specialist builds

Mixing ERLL and AC20s doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I guess the idea is to use just the MLs up close
