U lads forgot this fella' VND-1AA

I don't have a VND-1AA . It has the 20% heat quirk and can fit XL255, so it's the best variant for the job. Would still recommend putting in the head laser (ERSML will do), because your arms WILL fall off, and some pew pew will make your life more pleasant at that point.

By that time you should be cored in one of your sides so that head laser won't do you much.

That single JJ is pointless.

If you are going to do this on the 1AA, which really you should given the importance of that 20% heat gen quirk, it should look more like this. That said, this build may be the better option.

Or like this perhaps: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...160de5b6ed4e35d

It's not supposed to do much, it's supposed to keep you sane when your PPC arm falls off . For a tryhard build, yeah, drop the laser and max JJs.

Mmh, 2xHPPC, XL255, 3xJJ, 11DHS is they way I'd go about it on the 1AA. Should be fine with the -20% quirk.

[Karl the Plumber]

I haven't nailed it down let, but this is the only thing I bought a heavy PPC for: MAD-5D. Historically, I hate my marauders, but I'm going to make an effort now that I have an energy weapon that does the 5D's massive hunch mount justice.

DUH!!!!

If needed I'll readjust as game play requires... also it depends on how much you rely on the CQB weapons.

No point in putting on 20 tons of PPCs if you only plan to use em incidentally. Your CQB on that build should be "weapons of necessity", not choice. And even at 15 DHS, 2 H-PPCs are hot hot hot.

VND-1AA

Actually myself and Mag have switched to using one in both arms. I do it because having that arm ripped off sucks and Mag does it because he swears the convergence feels better. Either way, both of us like the VND-1AA over the BJ-3 cuz it tanks better and that 10% extra heat gen is worth ~2 DHS for 2 HPPCs/ERPPCs.

I swear..... you better be careful...I think your Meta is slipping and you might wind up playing for fun!

I kid, as you know... as I was with the build, though I was intentionally going "full tryhard" minmax on it.... But I've been preaching not putting all my eggs in one basket (guns in one location) since Closed Beta, and routinely told I was clueless by the Comp Crowd for doing so, lol.

When I get around to my VNDs, I'm probably going to go the other direction and use SNPPC.... I heart SNPPCs.

Things have changed, almost all sword and boards practically died with the skill tree (and PPFLD made it risky before that). Without the agility to appropriately guard those sections, it just isn't worth the risk anymore.

I thought about it, but it just made more sense on my Panthers and Assassins.

work real nice on CPLT K2, also. Pairs real well with MPLs, HMGs and a 300 engine.

Am definitely planning them on Panthers, my UM-r60 URbie.. and toying with ASN builds with em, but not in love with any yet.

BJ-3

That works a treat.

[RisinPhoenix]

After tinkering with my Awesome-8Q. I landed on this build and have had great success with it.

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6f724e5470a0932

I have max armor and skeletal density on my awesome, so the numbers are better in mechwarrior for leg armor at 55 a piece.

The ability to fire all guns without hitting ghost heat is a huge improvement over the metamech build before the new tech hit.

*Thoughts: The large lasers can be moved to the torso if you prefer.
Also, with 4 open slots you could put a light 300 engine or just a lighter engine.

A light engine and light ferro armor in exchange for endo-steel frames should probably be thought of for most inner sphere assault mechs. If you have the C-Bills and the time to play with it.
