If you were only allowed one Mech what would you choose? , post Smurfy's if you can. I have pondered this for ages and I was having difficulty choosing between my EBJ and my TBR , In the end my EBJ goes back longer than my Timby , so mine would be the Classic Ebon Jaguar build. I know its nothing new or exciting , but man I have had lots of fun in it , and lets face it , its fun we are here for.

For me it would be that same build you posted, but strip some armor and put that 1/2 ton to use taking 6 ERML instead of 5.

Yeh , I like my 5 ERM's as I am use to the heat now and I do a lot of bobbing around , but yes the EBJ is such a good mech and under used , but it does take a lot of time to get used to it and what you can do. The biggest mistake I see is people not Alpha striking as much as possible , rather I see a lot of cycling which does not do the Pin point damage this thing was designed for. If I do go for 6 lasers it is usually 6spl's.

[Pr8Dator2]

HBK-IIC-A 2LL + 6SL 4EVA!

[Karl Streiger]

[TercieI]

6SPL ACH I guess. And uninstalling a week later from boredom.

[El Bandito]

IS: Battlemaster-2C, assuming the quirks stay.

Clans: My Loyalty Hellbringer with soon to be six high-mounted energy points.

[ccrider]

Atlas ddc. 3 asrm 6s and an ac/20. I can play that mech every day and not get bored.

[Appogee]

It would have to be an omni, so at least you'd get some loadout variety.

Probably a Timbie, I guess. It's fast enough, tanky enough, versatile enough, jump-jetty enough, etc.

[The6thMessenger]

UM-R60L Skirmisher - (AC5 + 4x ML, XL170)

So far the best build I made with the Urbie without resorting with a complete energy build.

[Battlemaster56]

Gotta go for my first clan mech I bought in the game Timberwolf-D 4Streak SRM6s, 4ermed lasers, tc1, cap, and artemis make lights think twice rushing behind a group of assaults while I'm on guard duty ^^.

I have a similar build with my Loyalty Hellbringer. 4 ERML and 2 LPL with ECM. One of the most versatile mech I tried. It's surprisingly effective.

But if I have to select one I'd say the timberwolf, it is one of the most balanced mech in MWO, as someone already said: jump jets, enough velocity, enough internal space, build variety, 75 tons...

[Marquis De Lafayette]

Nothing original for me:

Clan: I use the same Ebon build as NZT Limitless the most...although the loyalty Hellbringer and the HBK-IIC-A are the go-to's for long range

IS: Battlemaster 2C, just for its pure power. although I personally enjoy running the Jager DD and the Oxide probably just as much

[Athom83]

Of course I'd have to pick my LB-X Marauder; MAD-3R for tanking or the MAD-5M for mobility.

[Skanderborg]

Timber Wolf , because I get bored easily and can make up limitless machinations in the mech lab for it.

[Stgn21]

My go to mech has always been the Catapult K2. I get better results in my EBJ, but the scatcat was the first mech I bought after my cadet bonus. Must be nostalgia.

[ScrapIron Prime]

Either my Centurion AL (3 LL)

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...0f3778420ce5daf

Or my Marauder 3R (2 PPC, 2 AC/5, 2SPL)

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...0023287839a3f3c

Both of which will be getting a rework when the Light Fusion engines come out. A little slower, a lot more durable.

This Bounty Hunter II is probably my favorite mech right now.

BOUNTY HUNTER II

[Bishop Steiner]

As things sit right now?
HBK-4G

My ASN-21 and soon to arrive UM-K9 would be close, and there is always room for a CN9-D.... but my Hunchback is my go to robot. And admittedly, post de-quirkening/Skilltree, that could alter some. But as of now, and even looking at new tech? Seems to be as solid and satisfying a choice as ever. LFE should allow me that mobility boost to really be the icing on the cake. (while also allowing room for Light Ferro, etc)

[Cy Mitchell]

MIne would be the first Hellbringer Prime I built. It was the first Mech that I actually had positive stats in. It is not as good as it once was because the increase in cUAC jam chances and cooldown have hurt it badly but I can still get decent games out of it.

This is the MetaMechs build for it. Mine is slightly different in armor allocation, ammo count and heatsinks: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...74a9fd9ae4e353e
