That's ok, even worse was the troll King Crab build I spectated in a match that had 6 mg's as it's sole weapons! And this was before the CW tech drop, so just plain MG's. So much waste of firepower .

This makes me wonder how he spent all his tonnage ... enough ammo for a whole evening of continuous fire?

I have a KGC-000 with LFE-360, 6xLMG, MRM20+MRM30, 2xLPL that I actually really enjoy. However I'm running it on a low-tier derp account, so it's a forgiving environment.

Had someone running an Annihilator with 2xMRM40s and 2xLRM20s in a group the other day. It was pretty painful to watch the guy walk in circles at snail speed, in 3rd person, desperately looking for something to hold still long enough for him to shoot at it.

4 PPC, 1AC5 Boars Head. No idea if it is the same one, but I have seen it a few times over the last several months in group queue prime time NA. Once had the opportunity to crotch hug it in a Cheetah, actually overheat (because I am an idiot) , and then finish it off taking only 1 hit from the stupid AC5.

Haven't seen that guy...lol...yet.. Yesterday I pinned/body blocked a heavy PPC boating catapult in a corner on Mining collective with my assassin 21. Vainly he tried to jump jet over me to get out of the corner...but he didn't have the jump jets to pull that off either...I just force-fed him srms, until he died. "Have another and another"...

what's wrong with the mauler? Besides, Baradul just released a MRM God Mauler video. Seems legit.

More than MRM60 is a instant shutdown even with 1.6MTG... Ghost Heat report on Duty)))
HGoose-Meawler is moar epic than anything on that chasis ever built. None shall stare! Than he shall die!)))

[Smites]

I've seen people run Vindicators and people perform poorly compared to them.

I can't tell which is worse.

Obviously no N&S, but what "interesting" combinations have you seen recently?


Ot: I've got a build that's clearly heat bugged. Pretty sure it's heat displaying bugged instead of heat creation bugged. Where do I go to report that?

Any Atlas or Annihilator running a XL engine. Please stop putting XL engines on those mechs you're embarrassing yourself.

An Atlas with small lasers, and a machine gun. Unfortunately, he was on my team. Yeah, we lost the match. Go figure.

?

2 MRM40s have like 2 points of ghost heat. I am currently running 2 on an IV-4 with inherent 15% missile cooldown and another 5% added via nodes and even then I rarely overheat (this is not a super build or anything I am just pointing out that you can go higher than 2 30s and heat is not a problem, especially on a Mauler with all that room to work with).

True, I saw the ghost heat warning pop up in mechlab with 2xMRM40, but I'm glad I check smurfy how much it is. It's really a token amount of extra heat.

Mist lynx with a clan active probe. Who even uses that thing?

Mad respect for that JK pilot and way better than seeing 4x lrm20's on it.

2xLRM20, 2xLRM15 on a Spirit Bear. Nothing else, the spud only did 22 damage that battle too.

Sounds like a solid build.

Direwolf with HMGs. How do people come to the conclusion that slapping the shortest ranged MG on the slowest mech is gonna work?

probably the same idiots who boat HMGs on King Crabs.

[Trenchbird]

Well, I just put quad Ultra AC/2s on a Mad Dog. So that's pretty awful.

But it's so fun to just charge in guns blazing and open them up :3

[Trenchbird]

I mean, the King Crab gets opened up. Because it's not dealing a lot of damage.

A Mad Cat MK II with 4 ATM 9s and 2 tags.

At the end of the match, his toros were cherry red all weapons were destroyed, but his arms were untouched and he had over 720 Missiles left.
