This thing feels like a D-DC with the nards cut off. Does anyone have any good builds?

3AC5, 3 SRM4 (I got third in the CP-11-A leaderboard with this build) (STD340ish, can't remember)
3AC5, 2 PPC (STD300)

That is the heaviest way to go about obtaining 35 PPFLD I've ever seen, topped only by the 5xAC/5 MAL to get 25...

Thanks I'll check it out. I really felt like 3xAC5 wasn't going to do it but I guess I'll have to try it out.

For sure go with 3xAC5 and 3xSRM4.

Lol, its like the old BNC-3E but on one side. And of course, more DPS than 2 ER PPC - Gauss.

Yeah mine had more armor stripped and more engine, I think it was 340 +/- 5.

What is with the extreme leg armor? I never usually use more than 54 on an assault and I never get leg'd.

Oh I get it. Is this one of those things like, we show our builds with huge leg armor so that we don't actually have to run it?

*takes note to leg Stiffy next time he sees him in an assault*

Best of luck! If you're good enough to know me when you see me you'd probably already know my mech details

I actually don't see you often. If I'm doing a long night of drops, I maybe see you once or twice, though I don't really head-hunt in matches; I do what I think is necessary to win and survive.

Yah nobody has time for looking for individuals to kill for realz. I could care less WHO someone is in a match, I take the shots that will hit! lols

I always leg-check assaults and take great satisfaction in leaving them crippled and alone

Yeah but at higher tiers players don't normally stray like that and will call for help that at higher ranks they actually tend to get.

You'd be surprised.

But leaving that aside, I'm intentionally very crafty with my tactics in those situations. When I'm behind enemy lines, I will often wait for an an enemy to be under fire from the the front before striking their rear at the same time.

And IIRC, being hit in the leg doesn't display the damage direction indicator (though I could be wrong on that one).

Pretty sure all hits do but at T2 most players know which direction a hit could potentially have come from.
