Well the Prime looks much more the original Gargoyle.. I would have liked all of them to have the Prime head..

That's what I was wondering, I even posted that build earlier in this thread. I like it too but some guy in general was telling me it was a **** build even though he has never run it.

I haven't done 1000+ in it yet though--assault queues were just too long so I didn't play it much.

As for the mech itself, there seem to be two camps of people-those that see how to use it, and those that don't. The shuffle-peekers are going to HATE this mech with a passion.
It's key strength is the tactics it opens up for a fast moving clan team.....you bring slow-the whole team grinds down to that slow and makes the team's efforts about those slow three mechs. The three slow coaches HAVE to perform then, because they affect the other nine mech's potential.
Bring fast and the other nine mechs can do what they are supposed to do, without being tied to walking turrets....as I said before gents/ladies-think different.

Their speed can still be useful with 3/3/3/3, where taking them instead of Dire Wolves or Warhawks makes your team much faster. Btw, thank PGI for the limited combinations of hardpoints. I mean, being able to mount any weapon is obviously too much but now the Gargoyle cannot replicate some of the weapon combinations (like ERPPCs and SRMs , unless you want to use one of those CT hardpoints..) that the others can do...

I expect it to become better once i unlock the skills.


3/3/3/3 implies pub queue, so not limited to Clan only - so just take a quirked IS assault and put a big engine in it.. it will be better.
CW is tonnage not class limited, and at that point bringing the Gargle is literally a massive waste of tons - you could downgrade by 15 tons and have a better mech in every single way.

Eight small pulse lasers, boating heat sinks; nice brawler.

Eight small pulse; but have tried all manner of varied loadouts. Have had a few 1000+, but I prefer to measure success with quickest time to kill and kill efficiency (lowest damage per solo kills) stats.

Any suggestions for a Prime build? At the moment the mechs are just collecting dust in my mechbays.

I am actually don't rather well with my Gargoyles and honestly while they don't impress me enough to be my top mech of choice, they are above average and aren't anywhere near as bad as a Summoner

Laser vomit is all i can think of for them. I dont have one, but from what I hear it barely has less podspace than a summoner, and not much more armor.

GAR-D: LBX10 (arm), 2x SPL in CT (or 2xML), 4x SPL (arm).

18 played, 33 kills, 3.30 KDR, 457 avg damage.

It's not easy to play at all, but it's a really funny mech.

I'm playing it in CW and it runs well, especially when you have to deal with short range brawlers. The TW is still superior but, if you hate meta mechs as me, you'll enjoy the Gar-D a lot.

The gargoyle sucks. it goes the same speed as a timberwolf however timberwolf carries more weapons and armour as well as being cheaper.... so why get a gargoyle go for timberwolf instead and get a better cheap mech
