Why I call it Lumpy, I have yet to understand - but it's a very effective build nonetheless. While the in-game heat efficiency rating may worry you, the mixed-range nature of this build means that it's never a problem. I have managed to get 350 damage in this sucker, which may not seem like much... but for me it's quite nice. Also, remember that the 350 damage is very concentrated and can easily give you a kill or two.

Post your own Blackjack builds if you like.

You can upgrade this build considerably by doing the usual thing -- dropping a ton of leg armor, and switching to Double Heatsinks and Endo Steel. More range, better heat, better speed, e.g. like so.

Meh... I agree it could be faster, but I actually like the PPC/smalls as opposed to the ERPPC/Meds... I just can't get medium lasers to do anything other than spread all over the place.

Consider medium pulse lasers, then. The ERPPC, when available with better heat like here, is a straight upgrade -- no donwsides.

How the heck would you get enough extra tonnage for the Mpulse lasers?

The improved build I showed came with a bigger engine. If you stick to the XL 200, DHS and ES allow you to take 3xMPLAS on board. This way.

If you're choosing small lasers for their beam duration then try this.

Small beam lasers actually do have some good heat and DPS when you have enough of them and the speed to make them work. I use 4 on my JM6-S along side it's dual AC10s when when things get too close. They work great on lights!

I really dont get it... u using only version of BJ what can use 295 max engine and have speed over 100kp/h yet u keep put this small engine into it with that mix of all range weapons... this variant dont have JJ so his best defence is SPEED why u take it from it ? i really have no idea maybe try this weird imao setup with JJ variants ? u really need that speed to stay alive. Just try my setup 6xSPL and 2xML 280XL 20DHS u can do ALOT dmg, like really ALOT. U are fast, u are agile, u can spam those SPL really often in alpha depend on map u play u really hurt lights and heavy as well. BJ-1X maybe try this? i think this is alot better and also better HE than all lthose ERPPC/LL/MPL mixes here. Just my 3cents...

Your build leaves a lot to be wanted, but sticking with the same concept, here is a "fully tech'd out" version.

@UP i tweak it a bit :(
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6ad22c92b4d00c1

285XL its a waste of money imao better 295XL so u can use it also in Raven 3L why 1 PPC torso and one in arm ? put dual PPC in torso and 4SL if anything come closer than 90 might work better, try it.

Here's what I use as my 1x. The quirk about this variant is it's top speed and you should really take advantage of that, especially considering it lacks JJs. This is basically the build I use (my not be 100% exact, don't have MWO in front of me):

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...26929c973be62dc

This is a bit of a sniper build. The idea is to use the speed and mobility to move to optimal positioning. With the agility that this mech has, it's pretty easy to move out of cover, pop off a dual shot or two, then move back to cover before the enemy can respond and while you're waiting for your weapons to recharge. If the enemy closes, the ERPPCs allow you to still do damage at close range, and you have the speed to get behind them, get away, or make yourself a very difficult target. The range of the ERPPCs is somewhat important to the build as it allows you to put damage down range before many opponents can even respond. Throw an extended sensor range module in it and you can be a makeshift scout in a pinch, and put Seismic on it in case you have to brawl.

An arguement can be made that with the arm mounted PPCs and no back-up weapons this build is vulnerable to being "disarmed", but with the really small arm profile on this mech, I think I've only ever lost both weapons once.

Heat efficiency leaves a little to be desired, but I can usually squeeze off 5-6 double blasts of PPC goodness before I get into dangerous heat territory, at which point I can switch to chain fire to cool off for a bit. (Pro-tip: I have both ppcs grouped to both mouse buttons, mouse 1 set to fire both simultaneously, mouse 2 set to chain fire so I don't have to worry about fiddling with the toggle mid battle).

Either you've got a unique fighting style or your torso armor is backwards

Yeah, I swapped the values for some reason. I guess I can join the club now. :unsure:
