It's soothing for me to see so many people UNDERSTAND. See, if every mech works pretty much exactly the same and fights the same nobody will ever have to go through the traumatic experience of learning to deal with something different.

so my ERLL + 3LPL awesome is the same as the kintaro builds the other guy posted?

sound logic. (????)

PS> what's so different about autocannon besides the fact that you can't trade shots with it because ppc and laser won't cut it

you mean the way the bullets look different? the sound they make?

they're pinpoint projectile weapons, only AC shoots faster.
you speak like it's a totally different way to play the game, when it's not.


also how is my sniper/brawler mix the same as all laser builds? it's not.
you'd have to realize i'll switch from sniper to brawler and when, and not even i know that as the pilot


ps> before someone puts words in my mouth, i don't use LRM because i think it's lame, but i am not opposed to other people using it. same with streak - just dont like when the computer aims for me

ahh k, sry its hard to tell in forums sometime

I think you should consider a solid combined arms build. I have been trying to get a solid Orion VA build, but no go without dropping in an AC or PPC (well there is the basic LURM build but that seems like a step backwards).

Otherwise some builds I run regularly that meet your criteria:
Golden Boy: 2x ERLL + 5x SSRM2
BlackJack: 4x LL, or 2x ERLL + 4xML
Cidada: 2x ERLL + 2 ML, or 3x LL, or 2x PPC, or 2x LPL (amazing what you can get away with when you run ECM)
Awesome: 4x ERLL (If i thought for a second I could run 3x ER PPC i'd run it stock)

I used to have a Catapult I liked with 2x ERLL + 2x LRM??

i'll post some video of it eventually but they do well often, and i refuse to use lurm or streaks

i tried that 8t build, it's terrible. the changes i made to it made it 110% better

Like I said, those are builds I've used in the past; my 8T runs twin 15s and PPCs now. The 8T build was pretty good pre ghost-heat, and when I ran the 8T with SRMs, SRMs actually worked. Given that your build is still using SRMs, and using pulse lasers, I think I'll hold off on declaring it a huge success.

[Mazzyplz]

if you don't wanna use LRM like i do, then yes.

i'm sorry if i didn't drop the srm out as soon as it was nerfed, not everyone is chasing the patch notes for the FOTM

[TexAce]

Take an Awesome 8R with 4xSRM6 and 2LLs 1ML,

if you can succeed with it in the current meta I applaud you.

(it was my favorite mech back when SRMs did damage and hitreg was no problem, got over 130.000 XP points on it and hundreds of matches - I so hope they bring SRMs back)

EDIT: Just took it out for a ride and got 4 kills and 550 damage. Gotta see if they changed something in the hitreg for SRMs, somehow they worked in this match. Stripped armor like a deathstar.

i using 4xsrm6 + 2xerppc + 1medpulse
sorry if i don't use the exact build you wanted me to, i think this one is a bit better

i'd have more but i only been running this on 10 matches or so?
http://i60.photobuck...e7.png~original

i am trying to do better with the 8T which is worse.

oh yea and the missile registration is horrible, i agree with you there.
i also wish they'd buff SRM back

[Mazzyplz]

yeah it isnt bad!! go get em dude

it's a bit better indeed but then i shoot a jager in the middle of CT with 24 missiles and nothing :S
it's worse with high pingers and around slopes because of the stupid invisible walls, sometimes it seems they affect the registration even though it looks as they hit

[mouzerius]

and the lasers are not point and click weapons of mase destruction when grouped

[Thorqemada]

I run 1x AC10, 3x SRM2 and 1 ML on my SHD-(P) atm and i consider that no "Cheese".

I tested a 3xAC2 and a 2xAC2+UAC5 SHD-Build and while that is effective it is utmost boring...and pretty "Cheese".

[oldradagast]

Awesome 8V.

- Standard 300
- Endo, DHS, AMS
- 3 Large Lasers
- 3 SRM6's

Just don't put all 3 large lasers on 1 trigger and you'll be fine. Twice in the past week I've gotten 5 kills in a match with this thing, and while it doesn't have the front-loaded damage of the PPC + Ac5 meta, it does have a huge alpha strike and no blind spots up close. Enjoy!

[Damocles]

HBK-4SP
2 LL
2 ML
1 SL
1 SRM 4

if that's the case how come a spider or firestarter can get inside the mechball and take what seems to be 200 laser shots no problem, then runs away with yellow armor

[InRev]

Someone called my 2 ERLL Raven (not even a 3L but a 2X!!!) a "***** build" once. Granted I got 6 kills and did 900 damage that match, but regardless, it seems that ERLLs are also off-limits, at least on anything that can actually kite with them.

Edit note: Autocensor does not like the word that means "female dog", in english.

probably because the 2erll raven is a cookie cutter build, although given it was a 2x then it was probably fairplay within all metrics

[MischiefSC]

Fair enough, no ERLLs. Too cheesy.

Anyone else with a proper gimped build that's so bad it's not 'cheesy'?

[topgun505]

Honestly it would be AWESOME if they included a Stock Only game mode.

Heck they could get rid of the trial mechs offered up each week and allow players to use any stock mech when in that mode. No need to purchase it with cbills. Just select what you want and go ... excluding hero mechs of course ... (and it doesn't use up a mech bay). Would be a good way to get away from the current meta when you want a break AND would allow you to try out any stock mech in the game without having to wait for the right trial mech to cycle in or waste cbills on something you aren't sure that you want to purchase. You just can only use it in that mode.
