It's not a brawler so much as a mid rand direct fire support. You have the AC10 for range and the 3 medium lasers are still fairly effective out to around 350m, or so.
I totally agree with you that it is the left arm which makes the difference. Moreover, the AC/10 is the ballistic weapon of choice for the K. The weak right hook definitely comes with the benefit of a third energy hardpoint. For my opinion, the AC/10+PPCs idea simply lacks the punch as well as the pinpoint damage. And, of course, you ignore the third energy hardpoint.
I should rather give the 3xLL a try and dismiss the pinpoint damage Idea.
I am still not convinced of the K, as it feels to be the least versatile and effective Victor. On the other hand a loadout that seems to be inferior at first glance sometimes grows, as you adapt yourself and your playstyle to it.

Something like this would be my ultimate goal for my K.

My whole build model was to be the ideal PUG.
XL 350 and four jump jets lets you go 78 KPH when you get speed tweak. You'll be able to dance around other assaults, fly, and joust lights.
Gauss rifle, two SRM4's, and three medium lasers are effective at all three ranges and brutal at close range. No artemis is installed because the spread of the missiles allows for more coverage of a mech. Very handy when their armor is randomly peeled open.
For defense, I rounded the armor out so that I could survive an AC20 shot from behind. This mech goes fast and it can get up high, so you'll be doing a lot of strike and fades. It's okay to run with this mech. You'll be back as soon as people stop shooting you. An AMS has been installed to deal with LRMs. Every single missile they destroy is damage denied and it does add up.
For modules you get your zoom, seismic sensors and improved gyros. You can probe areas, hunt down opponents, snipe and maintain accuracy in brawls.
Do know your damage won't reach 1300, but you will get about four or five kills every match with just as many assists with 900 damage.
I present to you Kaiser:

How many DHS do you run? What's the heat like with all 3 large lasers blaring? I can only assume the Gauss build makes for a cooler ride....

I decided to go for a loadout that is a mixture of my previously mentioned 9S and your Kaiser:

I gave the Gauss a try and complemented it with two ERPPCs - instead of the two standard PPCs I use in my 9S. Furthermore, I run an XL350 with two to three JJs (depends on wether I use BAP or AMS), three tons of ammo for the Gauss and 15 DHS.
The Gauss somewhat softens the tremendous heat issue with the ERPPCs. Both weapon-types make me very flexible in terms of range.
What can I say: I am surprisingly successful! That loadout makes me a fierce and hard hitting predator on all distances! I finished the fist few matches with 3-5 kills and an average damage of 500 - sometimes up to 900.

I really like the Gauss - even with the charge issue. The range and, most natably, the projectile speed totally oughtweight the disadvantages.
In my opinion you cannot compare the Highlander to the Victor, since the latter is much more agile.

I own the 350 XL and like a wee bit of a brawl. Would this adaptation look solid after I basic my B?

upgrades, nothing lost but one DHS, for two extra JJ's and artemis because endo beats ferro every time.

You can make it run cooler and/or fly higher and/or have pulse lasers by adding Endo Steel. Also, no torso ammo unless there is no other way -- lucky shots do happen.

Thank you!
You just built my #2 Victor! Now on to the "S".

I'll mock it up later, but I'm currently running 17 DHS with an LBX10 and a 350XL. The 3LL can run hot, but not enough ghost heat to make me uncomfortable. It took quite a few consecutive LL alphas to overheat, quite manageable. Yes the Gauss is 1 heat less and longer recharge than the LBX, so it does make a difference.

I tried this but it both lacked punch and ran too hot in extended brawls.
I tried this and while it worked, it didn't work *well*, with the Gauss rounds often getting sucked into the black hole of 0 damage along with the medium lasers when I was in mid air.
I finally settled on this. It's still not the equal of the 9S or 9B, but it was mostly functional.
