Stuff it full of ppc and gauss.

[DEMAX51]

I have had very good results with a standard engine, 4 PPCs (two in each arm) and one large laser (in the center torso, only to be used when: A. Something gets within 90 meters. B. Your PPCs get taken out C. You absolutely positively need to kill something). It's a little slow, and when the heat changes take effect it won't be as useful, but it works well now.

Once heat changes take effect, it's also pretty good with a gauss (with case), two medium lasers (on the gauss-side arm), two PPCs (on the other arm), and an ERLL on the CT. Still uses a standard engine, but faster and better heat than the first build.

Thanks I will try this and see how I go.

Sorry to the others for the incorrect post place.

Always upwards of 700 dmg or so per game. Just hang back a little and hit everything hard from far. You can close in as the targets are softened up and it has a brutal alpha which you can get two out successfully without overheating. Make sure to chain fire those 5 LLs and you will decimate everything. The key to winning in this one is to be fast- Your weapon hardpoints are so high that you can peek over a hill, blast away at them with everything you've got and then back off before they know what hit them. Also, just be aware of your heat. Either way, there ya go, if someone decides to try, let me know what you think!

Cheaper and has served me well lately....and NEVER use an XL engine in this thing!

My build is:

Standard Engine
Endo Steel
15 DHS
2 ER PPC (one per arm)
Gauss Rifle w/ 3 tons ammo
LL in CT
AMS

Almost as much damage as quad PPCs with much less heat issues, as the Gauss Rifle can fire pretty much unimpeded by heat. Plus you still have at least PPC+LL after losing any side torso, although it's quite possible to retain the Gauss Side until the end.

Gauss Rifles are just a perfect addition to heavy energy weapons, especially when your team engages and you need sustained damage instead of vanishing back into cover for cooling.

[NRP]

I run this:

STD310
AC/20
5 MLs

It's a monster brawler. Monster.

Not sure if it is best but here is my MIsery

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ccc7d052ace3e25

2 ERPPC to soften them up while I get close.
3 ML to rip the armor of of them.
AC20 to finish them off.

[Heldar1]

had great luck with 4 large lasers, ac20, standard 285 engine. a little hot, but easily managed.

I've been running this....on most maps I get 3 alphas easily, and it will melt faces. Usually 30-650 dmg and kills/assists, even in my moron ELO bracket!

Try it a few matches, it does quite well.

(my front to back armor placement is different however, much less rear armor)

my fav misery load out

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...059cff91c63ad30

gives you stand off capability with the gauss and the ability to brawl if you need to with the meds/LL. Also runs extremely cool so no worries when you have to Alpha alot.

I swore by a similar build until my Gauss Rifle stopped registering hits, even when the other guys chest filled my screen. Used to be an intermittent issue, now it's all the time.

PGI has known about this for a while. If you check, there are looooong threads with people getting this stuff all way the back in 2012. You know, when CW was to be released?

I run this exact build with an xl engine and one less dhs on my cataphract-1x. On that it is extremely powerful. On this you have an extra dhs, more armor, higher mounted weapons, standard engine, and look like a chickenwalker/mechanical do-do bird.
Where are the minuses in that? MISERY
BTW never tested this build on the misery because i don't own one but i am sure it will do more damage than my cataphract considering its better survivability. I have a youtube video with the cataphract (i am not advertising) watch it to get an idea of how the loadout can work. It is a very typical game (almost every game 600+ damage. excluding games where i mess up of course). Just search my name in youtube.

your heat Efficiency is horrible so beware. Drop ERPPC to PPC, CASE wont help you in this situation because damage will still transfer, Spread your Gauss ammo (doesn't explode), and drop 1 ton of gauss because your not going to be firing that much, Raise leg armor because your gonna get kneecaped alot. This would be a much more heat efficient build and survive longer, MISERY.
