Look, I got no problem usually with special snowflake builds, I go out of my way to try and come up with new builds myself.
That being said, this is a terrible atlas build on top my usual hate for anyone in an atlas who stands in the back.

I would take you on with any of my Jenners gladly. I love slow XL engine atlases, seeing as the first thing I always blow off is a side torso.

i avoid gauss or ac20's because they tend to be delicate and destroyed easily . how many times have you had your glass hammers detonate with 90 % of your ammo remaining . gauss cannons explode far to readily for my liking as for your ac 20 builds , that will get you focused fired and alpha struck in a heart beat . i know the lb10 x is considered not worth the tonnage but 1 alpha strike with twin lbx and 3 srm 6 is going to ruin any light mechs days .. this coupled with some laser strikes to the legs and .. yeah im done arguing with it .

Yeah you know how many times I've ran through LBX shot field giggling?

Welcome to why I detest D-DC "support" builds.

Want a support atlas, drive an RS and don't tease me.

The Most deadly "Support" Atlases I've seen are RS, with either Quad Llaser / PPC with Gauss.

Those configs can put out devastating amounts of firepower and would simply put OP's to shame.

fact is i have played all the builds you have suggested, in order to play brawler you must be in a premade, otherwise youll get creamed..
for that "meh guy" , hopefully my name will grant me the power to lay you down in the feild, dont care if its with this mech.

Not to be that guy, but I will gladly take on ANY XL atlas in a fight. Easy win for someone who can aim.

Exactly my point.

Since usually I size up an atlas by which side is more dangerous, missile or ballistic...then just remove that side so I don't have to deal with it.

i think this is my best support atlas build. 90% of the time that i will play this build my team will win and ill do about 250-300 damage, just because i never get to the targets in time to do more damge.

so

AS7-D-DC:

MECH INFO:
weight: 97.7 tons
fire power: 34
heat efficiency: 1.18
armor: 614 (maxed out)
structure: standard

BUILD:
LA: 1 x TAG , 2 x DHS
LT: 2 x AC2 , 1 x C.A.S.E. , 1 x DHS , 3 x LRM ammo
CT: XL ENGINE 320 with 2 x DHS , ECM
RT: 1 x LRM20 , 2 x SSRM , 1 x C.A.S.E , 1 x SSRM ammo
RA: 1 x ER PPC , 1 x DHS , 1 x BAP
Head: 1 x AC2 ammo
LL: 2 x AC2 ammo
RL: 2 x AC2 ammo
Modules: Sensor Range

now, what i do, is i bind the keys so TAG shoots off with my ERPPC and also with my AC2s. the SSRM can be switched up with SRM4 but this is a support mech, so i have the streaks to deal with any lights who interfere with my support fire. the thing about this mech is that it has all the technology in the game currentlly. its good for lighting up enemy lines because this thing reveals everything while at the same time its laying a good rate of fire consisting of 3 different kinds of hurt - ballistics, missiles and energy. ok, so, say im in alpine and another d-dc is in front of me about 700m. all my primaries are in range... i start lighting him up with my 2xAC2s adding punishing ERPPC shots, and if thats not enough he now has 20 LRMs coming down on his head.
deadliest range is between 280-190 m, everything is shooting off at different moments but constantly. youd think the heat efficiency wouldnt allow it but it does..
this is a monster mech, you do however need to play this with at least 4 weapon groups which is something i dont usually like to do. but this one is worth it.
(i wish i knew how to make vids so i could show it in action.)

Thom Yorke would be disappointed with this build

If you're gimping your 100-ton assault mech by using LBXs and justifying it by "I can kill lag-lights with it"....oh, but I use SRMs too!...then yeah, no point in arguing it. Myself...I can aim...and torso twist.

AC/20s are the best light killers...L2aim
If you're that worried about Crits...Double UAC

There is NEVER a reason to use LBXs....EVER...period, exclamation point, etc.
