Even though I'm usually not good in assault mechs the Misery is one of my favorites. Really feels more like a heavy but tanks like an assault. ERL combined with ML and AC20 make it extremely versatile. For more information on Stalkers and Victors (heroes included) I'd recommend you read up on http://metamechs.com/mwo-guides/.

Well if you think about it, a graph showing a steep learning curve would look very much like a curb... So kinda right?

Otherwise I am just here watching because I may want to buy an assault hero down the road.

Misery is a beast and love this Hero mech.
The 4 ERLL Hellslinger is also a great build.

Have you had any luck with the ERLL Hellslinger? I personally haven't had squat with it.

Key at the mo to the Hellslinger is ignoring those awfully tempting PPC bonii. I've had some very high success (moreso than a Misery) on running an LRM 15 and MPL build.

As for the whole war of words. Bit unnecessary. There are far better ways of pointing out an error (perhaps a private message rather than the pulling the pants down parade?)

Anyway just remember that you are both squatting on the Queen's language and we'd prefer if you come to us to settle your grammatical, syntax and semantic chest beating. If we want help policing our language we'll ask you for it.

Until then, please attempt some new spellings such as colour and the pronunciation of aluminium. Once that 'learning curve' is achieved perhaps Wolf can continue curb stomping you as one of the best Misery and assault pilots around.

Hey, grammar guys! Get a room or do PMs. That has nothing to do with the thread or OP.

OP, I recently started liking my BH again, however, I do recognize that the Misery is the way to go.

GL!

I own only the MISERY and I'm really loving it now. It took me quit many games to find what weapon set up works for me (AC20 and 2xLPL)and after that it has been my credit maker. If you are unsure what chassis you want just try the regular ones and see what fits your play style.

hoping for Mr Krabs myself, need the obscure kurgan reference for a beast as brutal as the king crab.

Wolfwood592 I've done quite good with the 4ERLL Hellslinger no 1000 point games yet but some were close and 6 kills is my best game. Its not a brawler though it plays to its range and does well poking mechs to death from range or unhealthy mechs up close, though i also find it dies to healthy assaults once they get in close.

Dragon Slayer used to be epic fun, and I hear the Heavy Metal is in a similar situation (nerfed).

I'd go Boar's Head, if it were me.

As a Battlemaster fan, I was bummed at the HellSlinger announcement.

Really? I have personally been running 2xPPC, 2xLL, 2xML to deadly effect. I will have to check out the 4ERLL at some point though
