As far as I'm concerned, MWO went full pay2win today. This is hands down the best catapult loadout in the game. (though you could shave some leg armor and get a STD280 instead) Combined with the 30% CB bonus, this thing was built from the ground up for solo pub farming.

Lol. Really? That's not that good. An all energy mech in Ballistics Warrior Online? Personally, while it does look like fun, I'm not sure it's worth the US$.

No JJ ever for Jaegers so go cry in your cereal. As for not seeing Jesters, sorry I run mine all the time and love it. I regularly see them in matches. Sometimes there are three or four of us. I guess you must miss them somehow, thought how do not have a clue.

Yes, you do not like the mech. We get that. It is not the amazing, ultra deadly, kill anything in one alpha you want. Stay playing your Jaegers and whine about no JJs. Go obsess over the ultra best weapons to put on every build.

Those of us who pilot Jesters love them because they are a fun mech to play. Actually have fun and a sense of humor is important to the enjoyment of this game to many people.

I don't whine and yes i only play what i find the most ."deadly, kill anything in one alpha". When i play... lets say, awesome, i got bored very fast. When i play Jags, well, i 've fun.

Anyway.

I'm pointing the fact that you don't tell us that Jetser is efficient... You're just saying the Jetser is fun to play...

And, yes, i'm seeing the balistic nerf coming (the game is unbalanced toward balistics ATM) and when it will be nerfed, i'll move to the next "ultra best weapons to put on every build".

Past the launch date of Jesters... Well we dont see them anymore.

I'm waiting for these to go on sale. Everything goes on sale eventually, and I don't have to have everything as soon as it comes out. (especially when I'm still working on my Phoenix mechs)

I dunno the $ is pretty weak at the moment for the rest of the world its actually not a bad price, but it just isnt a mech well suited to brawling, just like the regular K2 exposing your whole mech to take a shot leads to being cored quickly.

[Amsro]

The Jester is a pinpoint specialist, 300-600 damage is the norm and all of it on single locations. 2-6 kills and lots of assists.

Better then expected to be honest. Watch out for cockpit shooters, the catapult can be easily one shot by capable enemies!

Fully aware of this build (btw it's better with JJ in the torsos and with ER-LL and with 2x tons of AMS ammo)

euh guys

9.24 dps

12 sec of sustained firing...

XL engine

it is mediocre.

[Macbrea]

It's the reason I run: JESTER
Which is 52 second of sustained firing of just the 2 LPLs If something gets close is when I use everything. But, the flamers main purpose is to back things off my face.

If you'd followed the conversation before jumping in, you'd see that it started with me saying exactly that; followed by BlakeAteIt offering a build as a counter argument. The entire I reason I posted my build is A: I believe it's better and B: I still think the 'mech is mediocre; all of which was in response to Tabrias07 claiming that MWO went to P2W with the release of the Jester.

[Tooooonpie]

I love how there's still debate over whether it is good or not - I don't think its overpowered, and I don't think its meta changing, but its above average, and a heck of a lot of fun imo

The most important thing is its speed, with a Catapult I very rarely get ST killed, so no reason not use an XL

[Turist0AT]

Yeah, this mech is definition of fun. Jump Jetting heavy going 97.4 mmmm me gustaa.

If you want to do good, dont brawl, keep 300-450 meter distance to enemy (throw away those puny ML). And laugh at LRMs. Still, good LRM boats will get you.

Yeah its fun and it's not a bad mech. Funny thing is, the same loadout in the quickdraw sucks but in the jester it works.

btw. a good LRM boat? That has nothing to do with the LRM boat being good but with you being bad. I only die to lrms if i run out guns blazing and then i'm full aware what the fox I'm doing.

On the LRM. Let me clerify what i mean. A good LRM boat fires alot of missiles at the same time, so that our AMS cant shoot down all of them. If he chainfires or dont have enough tube or packing few LRMs i can just stand in the open and dont bother to hide becaus none of the missiles will hit.

[Valensoul]

The Jester Catapult should have had 2 energy weapons slots one for the right torso one for the left torso and 4 missile hard points 2 in each arm Oh wait that is a Savage Wolf aka Mad Cat 4 layout hardpoint wise with a 240 xl engine lol

I love the Jester and the silly things you can do with it.

[stkxie]

Jester will show your actual piloting skills. if you are good so is the mech.

[Urdasein]

I changed my mind about the Jester.

The Jester still dont match my Jagger about dmg/kills per game but the Jester is just freakin fun.

I run this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...8d1ae6052f9a205

and will try the PPC version shown above.

The 2x AMS, in the actual state of the game, isn't that usefull on a such mobile mech (can dodge missiles and run out of lock fast).

[NRP]

Yeah, I ultimately dropped the AMS, added 2 PPCs (to go along with 4 MLs and 19 DHS) and run an XL340. Just had a 6 kill game. I'd post a screenshot, but I don't know how to do so.

Anyway, as others have said, the mech isn't a game changer, nor P2W, but it is pretty maneuverable and a lot of fun. It's certainly not garbage like some people seem to so desperately want to believe.

[Funkin Disher]

Mine runs 2x PPC with some AMS and ML backup, which is okay for heat.

Could've done better though. Id've paid a lot more for missiles without a firing delay (in the side torsos perhaps) and/or ballistics replacing the CT lasers.
