I run my DD C, with 2 PPC, Gaus, and 3 x SSRM for lights and close combat. AMS , ECM, Siesmic, range and 360. and all armor maxed.

It destroys everything , 2 of 3 games played i get 4-6kils and 800dmg reg. Also it is cool as hell with shitton of double heatsinks i never stop firing. And a light or med that dares aproach gets insta checked with 3x SSRM and runs faster then it came.

For me its an old mech and mostly about armor.
Thats not to say you can walk your building into the center of battle and expect to live for more than 30 seconds.

2xLL 3x SSRM2 and one ac20 with 3 tons of ammo.. you can easily Strip leg armor to 46 Points if you need the weight and want to go for PPCs. noone shoots legs

Been running this one lately, good medium range brawler:

STD300
LBX-10 x2
2LL
3SSRM
ECM
Endo
13DHS

2xSSRM ammo
3xLBX-10 ammo

Only downside that I've found is that the LBX-10's are a juicy target and seem to get blown off every 3rd game or so, and it runs a little hot so you don't want to be doing alpha's all the time, but I've have great success on this build.

You must be running an XL engine, I just plugged that weapons and armor load into smurfy (because it didn't sound right) and I got the weapons and armor on, but only 10 DHS and no ammo (and with endo steel).

It has, but not for the changes in ECM.

Grinding highlanders, and c-bills, so when an Atlas comes out its my founders one, at the moment, once I've done the grinding, it'll get to come out the garage, but enjoying my speedy,jumpy highlanders to much at present

For my DDC I use 3x SSRM2, 1x Gauss (or AC/20, you can make either work) 2x LL, and a 3...15 engine? 325? Something like that. Oddly, I do better in the Atlas D with an almost identical build, and I have no idea why.

Bcs there is a Cicada in your D...

[Pumbie]

Ok so had a play in the mech bay and found a build that works for me;

2xLPL
2xUltra AC 5
3x streak srms
AMS
ECM
STD 315 with 2 extra DHS (12 in total
592 amour (some stripped for the legs)

so far it has worked really well for me. runs VERY hot but with some good heat management this is not an issue. i could drop the LPL for LL and get a bigger engine or my DHS but i love them to much, and when the Ultra 5s get going they are amazing!

I really loved my old Brawler DDC with

STD 325
2xML
AC20
3xArtemis SRM6
ECM

We once scored 999 damage (no joke!) and with him I climbed the 1.0 k/d hurdle.

After all the SRM changes and the recent change with ECM, I feel that our relationship somewhat cooled down. I take him out less often (I take MWO out less often in general though) and I think that the vibe has somehow disappeared a bit. Especially with the predominance of ranged warfare, I came to the conclusion, that something has to change.

I gave us a new chance by switching the SRM to SSRM and the MedLas to LargeLas. We had a fun time...but it frankly was not the same anymore.

Since then I am wondering how to set the world on fire again.

It's time to re-role your Atlas. You don't need to totally disengage from the front line, but only go there when you really have to. Try using the Atlas as a Long range Sniper; 2x ERPPC if possible or 1x ERPPc and 1x ERLarge Laser. Back it up with a LRM15 bank. For close range I use the LBX10 Scattershot in tandem with an AC2. The LBX rocks, especially against horrible things like the Raven.

Yeah, basically the 1000 days are gone (excepting extreme outlier matches where you carry an entire team), and good riddance. It was primarily due to bugged SRM damage anyway. I remember just mauling mechs with a blast of 3ASRM6s. Fun? Oh yes... Reasonable? Not so much.

500 per match is definitely nothing to feel bad about.

Heh I feel 300-400 is good. However, I know im in a high elo.

Provided ELO is working, it doesn't matter what ELO bracket you are in. The relative skills of all players involved should balance it out such that most players in every bracket are scoring about the same.

As for me, my scoring is highly inconsistent. For every drop I deal 400+ damage and get 2+ kills I get at least one where I'm lucky if I score 250 damage with no kills.

Depending on what I am running 200 is a good score! Fast Cent for the win!

Cents are nice. I've been running my 733 and 733C a lot lately. I tend to get one of two extremes. Either I get isolated and gunned to bits early; or pump lots of ordnance into people, drink their tears, and feast upon their souls.

[Whompity]

Mine is 2xLL, 1xAC20, 3xSRM6 and I still like it, though I haven't played it as much lately. Slow as molasses, but you just need to plan it out a bit.

You probably have a weapon or two in the center torso. I'm almost always reduced to a 100 ton stripper pole in the DDC before it actually goes down.

Perhaps because the D has more lasers and less missiles, and missiles are currently underpowered?

You're using an XL enginge though. Couple of taps in the shoulder from fellow PCs and you explode. I use to run DDCs with XLs all the time. You can roll up some insane firepower. lol
