How do you guys put/arrange your lasers? I use 2x CERLL and 3x CERML.

I used to put them like this:

Right Arm: 2x CERLL
Left Arm: 3x CERML

Right mouse click: 2x CERLL
Left mouse click: 3x CERML

It works great for corner peaking, convergence, and flexibility but it suffers the most from blown arms.

Now I'm trying this configuration:



blue: CERLL, yellow: CERML

I want to maximize the loadout retention from blown arms but at the same time preserving the ability to corner peak as best as possible.

Right mouse click: right side (2x CERLL)
Left mouse click: left side (3x CERML)
Side mouse button 1: arms (1x CERLL and 1x CERML)
Side mouse button 2: side torsos (1x CERLL and 1x CERML), for ridge humping

As a bonus, I can now ridge hump better.

Please share yours!

I always, always, always put the CERLL in the LT/RT and use it as a peek machine.

And how's your mouse button configuration?

I did this one time ago but I changed it back (to the first config on my post) because I found out that I did sideways peek a boo a lot more than up and down.

LLs 1 group
arm MLs 1 group
all 1 group
head ml 1 group

The torso mounts are just so nice and high I find hill humping more effective than side peeking with the Stormcrow. All of my laser vomit builds are designed to take advantage of them.

I run my Stormcrow-Prime almost stock. The only thing I have changed is the armor placement.

For now I keep my two large pulse lasers in the arms for a little extra dexterity. The three medium lasers are in the torsos, which also helps to minimize my weapon groups.

So I've been filling the head and side torso hardpoints with lasers and it's true that it's increases my firepower retention from blown arms. The drawback is that I've to use arm lock more which decreases my flexibility. But oh well, I guess the trade off is worth it. I still do fine.
