Generally.... when I mention "pet" builds, it implies your own builds, not copypastametamech builds so handily provided to you by Gman.......

But I know that is asking a lot of folks. So, whatever.... if you got some original builds, or mods, GREAT! If not, eh, no segregation here.....

But, for example, on my Clan Acct:
-Warhawk: 2xERPPC, 1xUAC20 (ammox5), TC1, 23DHS.
-Timberwolf: 2x ERPPC, 4xSRM4 (ammox4), 23 DHS
-Nova: 2xERPPC, 4xMG (ammox2), 15 DHS
-Adder: 2x ERLL, 2xNARC (ammox2.5), TAG, 11 DHS

Not uber builds, but ones that fit my playstyle, and I have fun in. Of course, do love my Summoner Prime, but since I run it stock... doesn't really count.

Each suits my style, and fills a role. (for instance, I'm a crap Light combat pilot.... but I'm a crackerjack spotter. 2x NARC means I can well...fire twice as fast..handy in case I miss a Light the first time. Out of NARCs? Well, still got TAG!. Of course..only really works if I'm in a Missile Star, but like I said.... it works for it's role.)

Inner Sphere? Well, I'll fill em in later.... little busy running my clan acct atm.
- AWS-8Q
- ON1-VA
and sometimes in AlphaWarrior, I have swapped to ON1-VA but in truth, as a Medium Jock, I find the extra speed lends itself to survivability more often than the STD Engine does.
-SHD-2D2
Though it has been significantly underperforming since Quirks/Clans arrived.
-UM-R60


Cheers!

i like my dragon 1-c with 2 lpl and 2 mpl ... it goes zoom zoom and some times gets a lota of boom boom

[Sylonce]

My UrbanWolf (Urbie). 2 ER large lasers, 2 medium lasers, 2 machine guns. Similar loadout to a Stock TimberWolf, minus the lrms and the mpls, all in one 30 ton can.

[BarHaid]

I love my COM-1D "Little Man": 2 medium lasers, 2 SRM 4s. Simple and fun.

My Jager Firebrand is and will always be a Rifleman: 2 AC-5s, 2 large lasers, 2 medium lasers. Well, almost. I have trouble leaving hardpoints unfilled, and so the medium lasers turn into 4 small lasers.

[TyphonCh]

DRG-1N was my first mech. It's remained virtually unchanged except for armor values and ammo placement, but I had to find more room for ammo after it's quirks, lol. Still one of my favorite rides
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...d98d8b94f3679f5

Those dynamic missile hardpoints though... Ugh. Seriously. Why?

You can do a good variety of good builds on Clan 'Mechs (especially on their Assaults) because the number of weaponry they can carry. I made a lot but have forgotten most of them. Some that I still remember/use:

• 1Gauss+3LPL Warhawk
  
• 1Gauss+1ERPPC+3ERML+2SRM6 Warhawk
  
• a variety of builds on the Whale
  
• 2ERLL+3ERML+2LRM15 Timberwolf
  
• 1Gauss+4ERML+2LRM10 Timberwolf
  
• 1UAC/10+bunch of small lasers+2SRM6 Stormcrow
  
• 1LBX-20+5ERSL Stormcrow
  
• etc...

[AztecD]

Awesome 8q 3PPC+ML

Love it maxed out and fully moded

[Metus regem]

On my Clan side:

KFX-TOOLBOX

A grate party player, kind of helpless on her own though....

ADR-COUGAR

As close as a knock off of the Cougar Prime as I can get...

TBR-D4

A rework of one of my favorite Timber Wolf builds

IS side:

LCT-Lightning Bug
PIRATES' BANE
YEN-LO-WANG
DRG-1N

I love the drumming of that dragon

BLR-1G

I know, I know it's a bad build, but it's funny to see the confusion it makes when you blow off a ST and I don't die.

[vandalhooch]

WVR-6K 5xMPL and NARC

[nitra]

i was going to post a pic of my awesome 1100+ damge game in my dragon ... then i noticed .....

not looking for varieties of "good builds", but builds that people keep going back to, no matter what.

[627]

CPLT-C1[F]
XL 300, 2x PPCs, 2xMLs, 2xASRM6, 2xJJ.

Because fox the meta.

At least it works, and it is a "perfect" build in terms of all crits and tons used, so there's that for the OCD folks Haven't played since the recent hit box adjusting thingy, though.

I just want the smaller missile boxes back, every newer mech gets dynamic small missile boxes but only the catapult... ah I can't continue, just makes me so sad...

[Chados]

Totally bone stock Jester but for moving 4 armor points from back to front. It is my favorite mech of all, pre-Marauder.

Summoner Prime with 2tons of LBX ammo and a LRM10 instead of the 15. Great support mix.

K2 Catapult with 2xPPC, 1xuAC/5, 2xML. That's my build...Marauder 3R loadout test platform.

Zeus 9S2(L) with uAC/5, 2xALRM15, 2xERLL, XL275. It's fun to run. It can lurm AND fight the direct-fire fight.

And Cicadas...3F(L), 3M, or X5, all with 4xMPL.

[SkippyT72]

Myself I like my Hellbringer with 2 LRM 15's, 4 er med, ECM and BAP with around 1600 LRM's... yeah I know LRM's are back for CW, but I still average about 850 damage in it so it's fun for me.

[Widowmaker1981]

Warhawk with 3xERPPC, 25 DHS, CAP and TC7. +30% PPC velocity is nice.

Griffin 2N w/ 2 ML, 2 aSRM6, 2 aSRM4
