For mid-range poke build. Ideally one stays just behind the heavier allies and poking from 300-400 meters away while providing ECM cover. LPL and ERML cooldown are basically the same so range modules are preferred for both. MPLs + SRM is decent as well, but bit too short ranged for my liking.
I don't drive Lights, so I was pretty surprised that it worked.
I was running 2xSRM6 and 3xSPL. Basically, a short range splat raven. I also had the radar dep module, but no weapon mods (because what's the point of weapon mods that are percentage based since percentage of small number is smaller number).
I ran it pure assassin. I'd started doing this back with my dual AC20 rifleman which didn't have the ECM or radar dep, but I was able to take advantage of the fact that the great unwashed masses of MWO pilots suffer from the very human condition of target fixation. So just wait for them to start shooting something, then run in behind them. By the time they realize they're getting shot from behind rather than by what they were shooting at, it's all over but the crying.
Now with a ECM/radar dep raven, well, it's almost too easy to sneak up on people. I finished my 20 light matches so now I'm running a slightly upscaled version of the build in the Griffin 2N. I missed the extra speed of Raven, but having 4x SRM6's and 3xMPL's kinda makes up for it (64 point alpha in a 55 ton mech).
