Funny how no one seriously consider tier 1 IS mechs like 3D or Victors as a worthy rivals to Clans.

They haven't been Tier 1 since the multitude of nerfs rendered poptarting obsolete.

I thought the holy trinity was Phoenix Hawk, Warhammer, Archer. What game are you guys playing???

Thought it was Trebuchet, Centurion, Archer.

Ng, the mechs in the post you quoted, are so OP that there are legal reason why they cannot be in MWO

The "Holy IS Trinity" used to be Shadowhawks, Cataphracts, and Victors.

Since the nerfs (addtion of the Hoverjet™), the Shadowhawks are holding up (with the Wubverine option) with the Thunderbolt (with the occasional dakka Dragon-1N) has kinda replaced the Cataphract and the Stalker generally replacing the Victor (the Stalker never stunk... the Victors was once a "meta overlord").

The IS Lights are still the same (Raven-3L, Firestarter (with more variations/options), Jenner, and Spider) as they are holding up more or less the same.

That's about the best you can do these days.

The best 3 inner sphere mechs ,to me anyways, are the Cicada-2B, Cicada 3M, and the Hunchback 4G. The cicada-2B's medium pulse laser cool down quirk makes it a dangerous brawler. I've had small pulse laser firestarters brawl with me, they never win. The cicada-3M is great because of the ECM. Finally, the Hunchback's AC 20 quirks give it a substantial advantage in the heat of battle.
