Hi, TP here!
(Please read Disclaimer*)

I got tiered of playing with my Stalker-M and decided to roll out my old DS which had been collecting dust for quite a while. Since I didn't want to throw my lot with the poptarts I tried out a janitor build which I had read about some time ago.

Janitor Slayer

Nearly maxed out armour/Endo-Steel/Artemis/DHS/ 3 JJs

XL 315
2 MPL (LT)
1 LRM10 (RT)
1 PPC (RA)
1 AC5+ 1 AC2 (LA)

2 tons of each Autocannon ammo.
2 tons of LRM ammo.
12 Double Heat Sinks.
CASE on RT/LT

Now, before anyone starts screaming 'bloody murder' for mixing AC's I would like to say that I find the combination of AC fire quite complimenting for my playstyle. I have the option to attack at just about any range and still help my team out by lobbing missiles in the fray without having to commit large amounts of missiles.

I like this build as it allows me to do a lot of stuff on the battlefield. I average out 3-500 damage while PUGing.

Wha'cha think?


Disclaimer:
This is not a serious build for high-elo brackets with everyone and their dogs in PPMETA builds. This build was centred around diversity and staying active on the battlefield rather then sit back and wait or result to a dedicated FLD PP meta-boat.

Right now, Medium Pulse Lasers are not very good. They run too hot for too much weight which doesn't really justify using them right now. C.A.S.E doesn't help with XL engines, so they just waste tonnage and critspace on your build.

I'd personally suggest to drop the Case and replace the MPLs for MLas, which would allow for AMS and a few extra JJs/ammo capacity.

Like this for example.

I don't think anyone would scream bloody murder for mixing ACs. Hell, my 9B sometimes rocks a 2, 5, U5 in the right arm. It's fun dakka.

YTF do you have CASE? you realise by now (I would hope) that CASE has ZERO impact on XL equipped mechs correct? Also I like the buld in general just remove the 2xCASE and add 1 more DHS and its fine.

It was a bit of a late-night build, no idea what my brain was doing. Thanks.
