Now as far as my best "Beast build" so far...

My Kodiak-1 with 2 art-LRM20s in the left torso and 2LPL and 2erML in the left arm. Every mouse click is 40 damage, good direct fire and the LRMs let me keep hitting people over hills, when they cant shoot back, as well as suppresion at long ranges (good for slow mechs!) I have my entire right side to twist on, and I can pull great numbers with it in a good match. By far my biggest bruiser with a 1400 dmg match under it''s belt.

And I'm a t4 scrub.

I pulled over 1100 damage in this build a Looonnnggg time ago back before PSR and all that, it's still fun sometimes.

'Marika Onion

I use this next one on my Awesome 8Q off and on, does decent damage.

Titan

This trebuchet pulls decent numbers and sometimes I think enemies forget it even exists.

Hoo boy have I got one for you guys. I picked up Victors a while back. Desperately tried to make one that was actually decent. Tried it with a Gauss Rifle, no good. Tried it with PPCs, no good. Tried it with an AC/20, no good. Tried it with dual AC/5s, somewhat okay. Then this happened. And to my surprise it actually pulls pretty decent numbers, in fact sometimes great numbers. I kept it. It is now the Victor that I pilot. I unfortunately don't have a habit of taking screenshots in MWO so I don't have any screenies to show of post-game stats with it.

EDIT: I do have one more to share, but it's nowhere near on the level of weird that my Victor is. It's my Kodiak. It pulls pretty great numbers too with this build: KDK-2

I just couldnt love the Kodiak-2. No matter what I tried, small pulses, large pulses, whatever. Just not enough hard points. So I sold it!

I play my KDK-2 in a very similar way that I play my Atlas. In fact, the KDK-2 inspired me to go get an Atlas. I bought the Kodiak when it first dropped. I got the standard package. I couldn't love the KDK-1. Too many energy hardpoints to handle. I couldn't love the KDK-3 either. Even though everyone says it's the OP variant I just couldn't find anything that I liked. But the KDK-2? 6 energy and one ballistic as well as bonus jumpjets? Yes please. I loaded it up with small pulse lasers and a UAC/20 as well as that lone LRM 15. The LRM gets used as a closing weapon and then once I'm in range I stomp right up to whatever poor target I've identified and tear them to pieces in seconds with continuous UAC/20 and SPL fire. Back when my unit was more active than they are today I dropped with them in it and they couldn't believe the damage I was inflicting upon the enemy team with such an oddball 'mech. After mastering my KDK-2 I thought to myself "Hey, isn't the way I've been playing my Kodiak the same way Atlases are supposed to be played? Maybe I'd like an Atlas..." So I went and took the money I'd earned with my Kodiak and made this guy. I love him just as much as I love my Kodiak.

I have several thanks to some silly quirk related shenanigans and I will miss them so much after the skill tree shows up and homogenizes everything.

LCT-3S
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...51be78fac2c364c
Yes it works. With modules and quirks its streaks have a cooldown of 1.06 seconds which if chain fired results in an inescapable stream of streak missiles that eats arctic cheetahs alive.

BJ-1
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...4fc4f87810a1c8d
Those AC2s are just plain stupid with a cool down of 0.46 seconds and a range of 938 meters when fully moduled. It is just plain fun to sit behind a hill with this thing with advanced zoom and annoy the heck out of the enemy team from 900 meters away.

WVR-7D(L)
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...c4c2c7368965387
I actually managed to make a build for this piece of junk that is not only effective but fun to pilot. At first glance it seems kind of meh until you realise it can go 118 KPH, dosen't overheat, and eats legs really efficiently.

AWS-8R
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...25f8e24d5e95be1
No one ever expects the 8R (normally used as a LRM boat by most) to charge them with 4 SRM 4s fireing at 2.04 seconds along with 2 LPLs that have a 0.5 second burn time. I swear when played right this thing is a can opener.

GAR-PRIME
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...095ef030c3fb33e
Its fast, people under estimate it, it hits really hard, and runs more or less cool. But over all the best thing about this mech is its paint job, I swear its phranken camo pattern is just so incredibly goofy looking, that it actually confuses and spooks some people into not shooting straight.

Oh, I've got another one for you guys.

My Gargoyle. People sometimes openly ridicule me for this build in quick play, but that doesn't change the fact that this particular 'mech has 90 matches played and in those matches it has counted 149 kills and only 60 deaths for a KDR of 2.56 and 35,904 damage for an average of about 400 damage per match. People who laugh at me aren't laughing for long.

4 CLPL TW got 1400 damage first time I took it out

don't worry the TW got nerfed soon after that so it cant be built

TW with 3 Cuac-5s that thing would rip trough Mechs like a chain saw
it work so good I was scared to use it

don't worry you cant build one this was back in 2014 so that Omni pod gets 2 JJs
the build worked so good I wont take it down in honor of that build

Streak Wolf with 4 CS-SRM6s I have saved screen shots of top Damage
and I mean I have a ton of screen shots
its the only reason I am tier 2 fact is I suck as a pilot but my Streak Wolf is tier 1

when 4V4 came out I knew streaks would take a hit so I stopped using it
