Hello all,

During the Tuk3 event I picked up a Griffin-2N which turned out to be a pretty good mech for scouting, running this build:

Lately however, I've been thinking of changing the build to this:

[smurfy]http://mwo.smurfy-ne...cc07666eb9688b4[/smurfy]

I know I will be losing some mobility, and some firepower, but the ASRM4's do have a faster recycle time and of course, better spread. The erMLs will give me some range, but I can always swap them back to regular MLs, or one of each.

I generally chain-fire the missiles.

Not enough slots for LFE.

Before I spend the c-bills, I'd like some opinions on the second build.

Thanks!
CFC Conky

You could try this:

Flamers work stupidly well against Clan mechs. 81/87 KPH is plenty fast enough. LFE for durability. Enough ammo, especially with the skill tree. Artemis SRM6 x4 hit like a truck, especially for IS mechs due to both tighter clustering than Clans (by far) and a slight, 0.15 damage boost per missile that the IS have.

Hi Pariah,

Interesting build, I'm not sure if I want to downgrade the stock ferro, but I will think about it.

Good hunting,

Its a good build.

Modifying what you have, I'd do this.

If you can afford it, it would be well worth it to take light Ferro and an Xlite engine. GRF-2N

Full power XL.

All of them work, comes down to your budget and how much speed you'd like. Id probably go with the light ferro and Xlite.

Never take SRM6 if you dont have the tonnage to have artemis on it. SRM4+A is far better than SRM6 even when on paper it may look like weaker if you only stare at the alpha damage.

Personally I would go with pure 4xSRM6+A build without lasers and as big LFE engine as you can get, but having medium lasers or flamers on top of it works too. Just a bit too hot for my taste.
