I just bought one.


Sorry guys.

[Snowbluff]

Okay.

Please sell your warhammers.

As a precaution.

Also your panthers.

Thank you.

oh good one made my night

[JediPanther]

Pff don't you know russ and paul's secret mandate for mwo is that every single patch must have at least one direct or indirect nerf to light mechs excluding the arctic cheetah? The clans have to have their one good light to combat all those op is light mechs as well as allow the assault babies to one shot them since they scratched their assault's armor.

The only time the light que is allowed to go over three percent is during events only. KMDD or get out.

Look at the leader board scores I bet it gets an armor nerf here soon. Its doing better than the mauler they just nerfed lol

[Johnny Z]

I am getting the Panther hero mech. Cant believe I didn't see it before.

I would like to know if the famous light mechs will be available any time though.

How is this related to the topic? I did consider the Wolfhound hero and also I am very happy I finally found a light hero mech considering I have 3 medium heros.

It's hard getting the numbers for that dude. Although it looks like Soviet must having at least 1k damage every time he drops. He's got the number one spot locked for sure now. I would need a 1200 dmg game minimum and it be a win to go ahead at this point.

[FireStoat]

It's a super nice mech but honestly, it's pretty easy to shoot. It actually has a larger head-on profile than a Raven. I have zero qualms about tracking one in motion and brawling with one if I'm in a heavy or sub 100 ton assault mech. Locusts and Commandos are still the zippy little terrors.

I agree its hard to tell for sure. Im mostly going by what i have seen of them and used. They're about the best IS light right now. For what i seen of pgi any light that pokes its head above the other gets cut down to the knees.

[kapusta11]

Light mech able to go toe to toe with heavier mechs? NOT ALLOWED!


Sad.

One of my mates told me you were running the MPL's. I was doing like 1200 damage with 3 LL but not enough Solos/KMDs.
Switch up to your build and the number just change dramatically.

Now I beg you, please don't overtake me again, I needa do work tomorrow haha. Intense back and forth on that leader board though

[PhoenixFire55]

If you bought the hero one I think the rest of us are safe.

Yeah the mpls are pretty strong on it. Been running the 2R that way since they released. I think it's at the impossible to overtake you now dude, it took me a 1500 dmg win to do it the last time.

How the MPL-build is done?

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...96fc9208ed8cfcd

??

Is there any reason beside beam duration to use 5 MPLs instead of 6 MLs?

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6a770f77961da41

0.3 sec duration vs longer range and more dps?

Last patch really showed those lights. And the Cheeto came out fine again, hahahahahahahahahaha.

Seriously?

[Tordin]

Typical. I found the Wolfy to be a great mech ever since it got released. Got even better now, it is in its prime time. A dangerous time for any mech that finally shows off.. with some drawbacks ofcourse. Noones perfect. And yeah. I can smell a massive cripple nerf to the Wolfhound, even that its weakness, like no JJ (not that I care, but some do), tall profile easy to hit (but still great spread and hitboxes) and so on is more than enough to not make it too good.

Only reason they nerfed it was because 1) they actually can nerf it now with engine desync being a thing now, and 2) community whining finally reached critical levels.

Also, it's highly likely that Paul got killed by one in game.

[Humpday]

There's been a major resurgence of the wolfhound, so much so It makes me want to buy one as well.
A month ago, you rarely if never ever saw them...now all of a sudden they are everywhere.

The hero is very appealing.

PS, was it good before? I wasn't around yet. Not sure if it had its "hayday",

You do realize the ACH was nerfed many, many, many times...while other light mechs enjoyed relative safety. During that time, Paul shot a nerf dart so large, it completely covered the cockpit and ECM torso of the Cheetah. The second time, the nerf dart hit the legs and quirks. The third time, it hit the SPLs and agility.

Now, other light mechs are just getting the same treatment, in a delayed manner.
