Title says all. Clan ER Large's beam duration will be absolutely murdered in the name of " balance " for the Timberwolf Stormcrow on patch day.

Worst part of it is, a weapon that was not op at all will be hit just because of the large pulse/er med laser loadouts that have been popular.

Thanks PGI! You really made our day! I guess it was too much to ask for you to even consider about just nerfing largepulse/er meds when paired together! Now theres an idea for you! FFS.

Now most of my Timber builds get ******* on, which includes my 4 srm6, 2 er large build/2 er large/gauss, NONE OF THEM WHICH ARE OP. Thanks alot!

Collateral Damage™.


Your choices are now to shift your build around a bit or replicate it on a different mech.

[Gas Guzzler]

You can do quad er LL on a Timber with 1.68 beam duration. A bit worse then it already was, but not unplayable.

Don't load in so many laser omnipods *facepalm*

Cry harder. You are a clanner. You will adapt and survive or you will perish. This is not an obstacle to whine over, this is one to be overcome, so that we may bring yet ever greater glory to the clans. There are plenty of builds that don't use your precious ER Larges and do perfectly fine.

As well, if you insist on using it, since you only need to have 2 energy slots, you can likely get away with around a 6% increased duration.

yeah because clans have so many other viable weapons than lasers.... derp.

your suggestion is bad and you should feel bad for suggesting it.

a better suggestion is simply to switch to another clan mech like the hellbringer and circumvent the penalties entirely. oh and get ecm as a bonus.

Yeah, I think Gauss and 2 cLPL is probably going to be one of the best options now.

List of solutions:

Switch factions

Gauss

Play the Orion only

Gauss and 4 ERML was already a popular stormcrow build...

but now clans are basically down to 3 viable weapons, gauss, ERML, and CLPL.

So what you are saying is that you want fast cER PPCs back right?

i want a buff to clan ACs and a nerf to clan laser ranges.

and a reversal on these stupid quirks that fail to address the real problems with the game.

That's totally incorrect and you shouldn't think that way.

The CUACs aren't great but they are usable and viable.

Step out of the laser mindset and start learning to use those UACs

In other news, it appears that 2 LPL + Gauss should still be workable.

TBR-PRIME

It gets a total of +15% duration and 15% slower reload (cooldown is such a stupid term), which puts the CLPL at about 1.288 seconds for duration.

I think most people will go with something like this considering it gets only 9% reduction, you don't need the left arm, and you get jump jets. Also you don't get the movement penalties associated with timber A side torso, and can buy everything for cbills.

But they're not mounted as high.

Why are you using a timber for 1500m attacks?

That's so sad and subpar to a degree.

TBR-S

Use all that arm articulation to your own desire. You could probably use 2 JJs on the Prime (and use a Timberwolf-S left torso) if you can fudge the extra ton, but.. it relieves people of their quirk worries (only 6% duration nerf).

Those LPLs are mounted so far apart tho. :\

At least shove them in the same arm or something. Or one per side torso.

I don't recommend side-torso Goose because it might blow out your side earlier than expected...
