Personally, I think the Jager is still better suited to running XL. It's still very squishy and not exceptionally fast regardless of what engine you have in it. That being said, using an XL does allow you to take advantage of the primary redeeming factor of the Jager: carrying lots of ballistics in very high mounts. Additionally, as I'm sure you're well aware, Jagers do not fair particularly well in close to medium range, as they have a nasty propensity to disintegrate like wet tissue paper in a blender when they get shot. This reasoning lead me to concoct this build:
JM6-DD
I know an alpha damage of eight doesn't look that impressive, but I've chosen the UAC/2s for the following reasons:
- Assuming no jams, which is actually fairly common given the Jager's quirks, this build puts out around 29 DPS; that's 30% more than dual RAC/5.
- UAC/2 shots travel the same speed as a Gauss Rifle projectile.
- With skills, the optimal range for a UAC/2 is 875 meters, longer than a Gauss Rifle. Only CERLLs, LGRs and ERPPCS hit with their full impact at that range, and none of those are able to output the same amount of raw damage as the UAC2/s. This allows the Jager to avoid it's biggest weakness of poor short range survivability.
- If you have a macro, an 857 rounds per minute bullet hose is a wonderful thing, and makes people do a lot of silly stuff when you turn it their way. (After all, it does sound like ball bearings in a washing machine when your getting hit by it.)
This works really well with the Fire Control Macro, and in case your wondering, PGI has repeatedly and expressly stated that using a 3rd party macros for this application is fine. Here's the link for it:
