too many messages, TL;DR
I think that trial mechs should be built only on the default omnipods of the mech. am I right? or trial mechs are allowed to be with different omnipods from all the other mechs of the chassis?

if so, i suggest for trial mech something like this. should be fine for CW and random. but not a brawler
as a brawler could be something like this

Since the timberwolf is allready a laser build, I think it would be nice if the EBJ stays a LRM mech.
I think ERML fit well rangewise. The build has a bit much ammo and it is an EBJ-C only in spirit (no C-Omnipods used ^^, though partially to give people who buy it proper starting pods).
Also the setup can be properly run with 2 weapongroups.

EBJ-C

Builds im using in CW.

Lazors EBJ-B

Dakka EBJ-B
TC1 and extra Dhs are swappable for extra Ammo.

Long Range EBJ-B

Most useful in Cw is the Dakka since it runs fairly cool on every map (and actually works also, Lrm Builds are waste of tonnage on certain maps).

The most interesting Ebone Jaguar. Laser vomit Timbre Wolf already have.

You can mix and match Omnipods for Champions, check the existing 4 (Cheetah, Stormcrow, Timber, Dire).

2x LPL, 4x ML Ebon Jaguar with asymmetrically mounted weapons. Large pulse lasers are mounted left side to take advantage of the high shoulder mount and optimize hill humping and corner poking. Medium lasers used for that extra punch when engaging from 450m and to take out pesky UAVs using the arm mounted medium lasers. This build allows for a high damage alpha, quick cooling, and sneaky hit and fade tactics and is a mid range sniper build with optimal engagement taking place between 400-700m. This build will easily dish out 500+ damage in solo/group queue and can survive multiple waves in CW pushing 1,000+ damage in the hands of a skilled pilot.

I've seen a symmetrical mirror build placing the large pulse lasers in the side torsos and the medium lasers in the arms. While this build does provide a low profile, it requires the pilot to overexpose their mech in order to get full damage on target and is not optimal for corner poking.
