I have over 250 games in my Thor. The more I play it, the more I realize what a waste of time it is to use the mech.

It looses side torsos like crazy
its arm hardpoints are useless on maps with multiple terrain levels(Caustic)
Cant even us it's iconic PPC without over heating or having to boat DHS
has zero DPS when you do use all of hits hardpoints due to no DHS(ac10+4ml's over heats it)
No energy ST hardpoints
I could keep going and going....

Once you own the any other Clan heavy, the Thor is pointless since cookie cutter laser builds simply do not work on it.

I think I'll keep it for a few more months, if its not quirked or if PGI doesnt move its arms up a bit, Im freeing up a mech bay.

Short of an lrm boat I cant get this thing to do a dam thing, just another lame clan mech that would get owned by any IS mech from light to assault. Totally pointless.

Just sold mine.

LMAO I just swapped my build to LRMs to try them out on it hahaha!!! Never ran LRMs on it before, whats your build??

[Poisoner]

Eh, I find that I like the hell out of my Summoner. Try running 2 ERLL and 2 ERML with a bunch of heatsinks for a lot of fun.

TBH i just sold it, if you want a clan LRM boat get a Mad Dog A, excellent mech, I use 6xLRM 5+Art 8t of ammo, 4x SPL and get a LRM cooldown module really fun mech, chain fire rules if you get a 3xAMS kit fox fire all together to overcome it.

Mad Dog A

Summoner is a POS.

Yeah, it's fun to run a heavy like a light mech. In MW4 the Summoner was my favorite mech by far and here it's just crap. Just let the worse clan mechs do endo/ferro and remove JJs if they want to.

Why bother?
Just about any other clan heavy can do it better.

[Monkey Lover]

Other than for maybe fun..... its a waste. I wasted 30 bucks cash on wave 1.

I do well with it using 2x UAC5 and 4 CERML. After the JJs got a bit of a buff you can actually get vertical and set up ambushes and such.

runs way to hot in real combat

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

Fun,agile mech,the speed and mobility quirks made it really stand out,it moves like an 50-tonner.

Good as a poptart or srm-bomber,i usually run mine with UAC10 + PPC with the omnis that give -30 jam chance to uacs and ppc speed boost.Good damage over time build that works at 0-500 meter ranges.

Only thing it needs is laser-nipples(pssst. PGI,HERO IDEA)

Maybe if you don't have double basics...

The problem is that it IS a light mech in a heavy body, but people dont run it that way. You can load up the hardpoints and you dont need heatsinks because you cool down while running from position to position, not facetanking the enemy.

You can make a super mobile lrm100 in this guy, or even dual gauss. Lots of builds are possible when you run less armour, and if you're quick and plan your attacks you dont need it. The playstyle needs to change, not the mech.

Is there a reason? Sure there's plenty.

Do YOU have a reason? Well, mogs, obviously YOU don't. Do you want us to tell you that it's ok that you can't get mileage out of the mech? Are you looking for justification? WTH do you want from us, exactly?

[Kin3ticX]

I have been using nothing but 3xSummoner GaussERPPC poptarts and a Streakfox in CW for like almost 2 months.

He has a point, you just seem to be looking for confirmation of your negative opinion of the mech.
