Not bad, if you're going that way - but you'd want to pull another Medium Pulse off the side torso and put it on the other arm, too. The problem is that you have the same max damage per second (and a substantially lower sustained dps) than a Medium Laser Build. Not to mention less range. You'll be able to spread damage less on moving targets - particularly lights - and spend less time staring at your target, but it's hard to say whether that's worth the reduced range and combat endurance.

I have everything maxed out for this mech, I've tried just about everything from small pulse lasers to 6 ml, dual ppcs and of course the full medium lasers. The trouble I would run into is that the ml takes longer to register the damage and you have to maintain accuracy. If you've run into a lot of spiders, then you should know that with the pulse lasers you get quick and accurate firepower. The range doesn't really play that well for this mech unless you stick to groups. Also you should take into consideration that with pulse lasers your liable to blow up individual limbs or weak-spots with ease.

I don't want the other mpl on the arm because when you destroy the hunch that arm goes with it. if you leave it empty it becomes a small shield.

I understand what you are trying to do with the MPL but since they are all in your ST and high mounted, you arent taking advantage of the mech's design. Also, it's going to be really hard to put damage down without any long range weapons.

I'd switch it to this. Same alpha and DPS.

Yea you die if you lose the ST but you have no damage without it.

so is getting kited...

[Nightmare1]

I run mine with 6xMPLs and 3 Flamers.

It's fun.

[Ragnahawk]

Flamers and pulse lasers? How the heck do you pull that off?

[TripleEhBeef]

Ha, I was running a 6 flamer troll build the other day. It did ok, surprisingly, except for that one part where I singed a teammate with a red CT when I was tracking a light. Forgot how quickly they could crit.

[UrsusMorologus]

Yeah I saw a 9-flamer 4P, man he died fast and easy

[Burktross]

I run a x6 mpl Hunchie too-- got 870 dmg in him my first run.
Good day.

Cool!

You've got 15 slots open. Add in Ferro to free up nearly a ton.

[Ragnahawk]

Been using a build with 8 mpl. Totally worth it.

optimised your build for you

that said, why are people trying to fix the wheel?

Move that mpl to the left arm. That way you still have 2 mpl when they pop your hunch.

[Stingray Productions]

I just wish IS medium pulse lasers had more range.

I'm not trying to fix it. Medium lasers take too long to register.

Right arm makes it easier to hit. That's important when you want the enemy to stop following you.

[UrsusMorologus]

Right arm is better for corner peeking

Not that it matters on this build though, MPL range is crap so you're going to be in their faces all the time anyway
