Pretty much any build on this mech, alpha or otherwise would have been neutered by Energy Draw. Your argument is invalid (as is tradition).

Let's not forget that Energy Draw actually made the game less balanced than it is now.


I didn't broker any argument, so by law of logic I had no invalid argument to begin with.

Energy draw didn't make the game any less balanced. Like then and now, assert without demonstration. Good thing shouting things down in today's world is a good way to superseded evidence.

Never enough Video evidence, just constant Forum hypothesis, which people know will never be proven.

I didn't buy it because it doesn't look anything like a Marauder IIC as I remember it:

PGI's version just looks like a fat, bulbous, overweight marauder.

Hunchback II, looks like a hunchback.
Highlander II, looks like a highlander.
Jenner II, looks like a jenner.

For some strange reason people think the marauder II isn't supposed to look like a marauder.

Regardless of this mech being good or bad I F*ing hated energy draw....
And most my mechs are bracket build mixed loud-outs with 4+ weapon groups.

Learn to not get shot.. don't whine about enemy weapons.

The D variant almost seems suitable right out the box for MWO. Four whole tons of gauss ammo, Mk 7 computer. ECM, twin gauss and LPL, ERSL and twin Streak-4s. I suspect a great many of us owners of the thing will be swapping the LPL and streaks for a pair of ERLL and more gauss ammo. Or perhaps an ERPPC/ERLL combo. That Mk7 computer means 10% beam range and 35% projectile speed.

Clan ERLLs are the most useless weapons atm. the burn time is measured in minutes in practice...lol
I'd suggest never touching Clan ERLLs unless you're gonna pack 5 of those.
Pack a single ERPPC. It will work wonders.

I mean, being a whiny salt pillar is just as unproductive.

It looks decent, but I'm mostly excited for the MAD-IIC-D. Lasers are not my thing, but missiles and ballistics in the arms? ECM? Jump Jets? Yes please.

And just rolling over and accepting what PGI does is the reason why this game has never once had decent balance, and why they have gotten away with being liars and incompetent developers for the past 5 years.


Dude, go back to bed and wake up on the right side this time.

Hmmm, Let's see the the differences:

Marauder:
No ECM Variant
3 Jumpjet Variants
Slow Hero Variant

Marauder IIC:
10 tons heavier than its IS counterpart and better armored
It's a non-Omni version of a Warhawk
It has an ECM Variant
Shares the same speed as it predecessor
Heavier weapon payout
Faster Hero Variant

And most IIC variants were made to be superior to their Star League counterparts.

TL;DR Version: The IIC version is just a better heavily armed version of the original Marauder.

I get that your upset about PGI man, but if you are gonna insult people at least know your facts.

And you have ZERO evidence to the contrary of my assertions, so I guess we are at an impasse.

Evidence is not his strong suit. Arguing badly defined logic is.

1st 85 tonner with JJs
1st 85 ton Clan Battlemech
1st Clan assault with ECM
A different selection of hardpoint layouts

I dunno, should be a fun experience.

Going to be interesting to test play against the Warhawk. Just finished levelling the third one on my Clan CW account and they have similar energy weapon roles.
