I prefer this build more on the Marauder IIC-A with a dead side.


I don't run it with a dead side anymore. I put the peeps in the left arm. Dead side means your enemies have an obvious target (the RT, and its easy to hit from virtually all angles).

why would anyone buy a clan mech that cant laser vomit?

every new clan mech introduced is going to have to laser vomit in order to sell any mechpacks

you should really get used to laser vomit. PGI is going to be reluctant to nerf laser vomit when clan mech packs only sell based on their ability to laser vomit.

thats when happens when you nerf everything else, right now if you took laser vomit away from them, theyd have nothing left. laser vomit is the only reason to even play clans anymore.

They would if they fixed some of the Ballistics..

I thought deadsiding was, well, dead? At least since Heavy Lasers became a thing.

It's been...dead...longer than that.

It's simply too risky to put all your eggs in one basket, especially with poptarts and giga alphas around.

The thing is that PGI have managed to get themselves stuck in a stupidity loop:

Laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king > clan mechs must laser vomit to sell > can't nerf lasers > laser vomit is king

Oops. almost got stuck in the loop myself

All it takes not to get stuck like this is a brain and a bit of fortitude - PGI need to HTFU and either buff other weapons or change lasers to not be idiot god mode. - but they won't because they don't have either the foresight or guts to do it.

As much as I love the chassis, them hands

Also them balance choices

I can wait for c bill release, especially since I don't enjoy brick level of agility and we don't get to see those values

meh.

no reason of buying it really. Side torso mounts will be so high that you can actually be shot before your cockpit clears the ridge, arm mounts are so low that you will have to expose your whole mech to alpha anyway. Moreover, they will be hitable from any ankle with zero possiblity of armshielding.

Strictly inferior to the MK II with all of its mounts around cockpit level.
