Some one requested that I post my build of my Banchee 3S because it a great build. This is what I have on my Banchee 3S . I have STD 350, 3 medium lasers, ER PPC, AC 5, Tag, and a LRM 15. Now you are probably thinking thats alot of weapons with different ranges and a lot of heat.So how can that be a great build? Well this is how you work this build. On your weapon grouping you have the ac5 and ER PPC going together at the same time in the first row. Then you put the 3 medium lazes on chain fire in row 2. I said put it on chain fire because you can mange you heat and click it as many times as you need to. I put the LRM 15 in row 4. Then put Ac 5 in row 3 to just to mange your heat in close combat. So try out the build and let me know what you think about it.

where does the tag go?

[oldradagast]

Probably the head slot for the TAG, based upon Awesomes that use similar setups.

I run a similar build, but with a STD 340, LRM20 instead of LRM15, and a fourth medium laser. Average 350+ damage and a kill per match.

I run my TAG in my right torso so I can keep 2 MLs once my side torsi are gone. That decision got me a last-minute zombie kill to tie up a desperate, come-from-behind match just the other day.

I call it Locutus, because my loadout - with a meta combo (PPC/AC5), long-distance LRMs, and close-range ML punch, contains the best of both worlds. *rimshot*

Nice to see some love for the BNC-3S. Here's my personal build right nowBNC-3S

Straight up brawler, AC20, 5 ML, 1 LPL, AMS, STD 340, 16 DHS. I have a ton of fun playing it in 4v4 or 1v1 action with my friends. Does okay in PUGs, but suffers there from a lack of range against all of the meta.

When I first bought it right after the LRM buff to 175 m/s, I ran something like this BNC-3S

Basically take my other build, drop the LPL to an ER Large, and then stuff in an LRM 15 and TAG,. Not a ton of ammo for either weapon system, but if played right, you can use the LRMs and Large laser while your slow a** closes the distance, then you can rip into them with the AC20 and Mediums.

Both builds are really satisfying to play, and I actually like playing the -3S more than the -3E, even though the E is considered the better "meta" variant.

Just because I love it so much; Banshee C&C mobile command BAP, TAG, an LPL...not exactly 'meta worthy,' But standing in the middle of teammates, breaking ECM where I can, and with a varied enough weapon package to engage things in most situations (with support, or catching something by surprise), it's an odd build that doesn't do particularly well solo. but lends itself splendidly in a group dynamic.
