2LPL, 3MPL, 1 SRM6+A, lots of DHS and engine. It moves relatively quick, has nice concentrated damage, and can stay in the fight a long time. It isn't great but it is functional and nets me an extra 30% C Bills.

Ned Threacro but the problem I always had was that dopey missile launcher. It's taking up the weapon slot of something more useful and so the Bludgeon suffers the same problem as the Rival - a stupid, and small mix of hardpoints. I put 4 ER-PPCs on mine back in the day, it was alright. But the Warhawk has a nicer profile for that build imo.

It's not vomit when there's just 4 of them.

a necro, for that build?!

have a look here:

doesn't mention the whammyIIC, but may give you some general ideas.

like others have said: it does 4x ErPPC quite okay, it's what I run on mine.
sadly, it's not the best mech to use in the first place, no matter what you put onto it.

but it should at least outgun a medium mech at it's 80tons, right?! ;-)

one build only for this one

WHM-IIC-BL "Minor Delete Button" (2xcLPL, 2xcHLL, 1xcERML, cXL380)

[PocketYoda]

Not so much a Necro but this works a charm.

2x Heavy Large Lasers
3x er medium
1x jjet
Tac computer of choice and the rest heat sinks, got it up to 1.6 heat. which for clan is amazing, drop a super large XL in it and do 77kph.

That's the other Hero, the Bludgeon has 4 energy and 1 missile hardpoint. They're both equally pants though - their agility is just too awful to make them useful. If you want a glass cannon weapons platform the Rifleman IIC will free up tonnage for a proper Assault.

Needs a higher engine and speed tweak. I don't like Rifleman IIC all their weapons are in their arms.

Of course! That's a design choice - now you can see those bad boys right beside your cockpit. Ratatatatatat, Mechwarrior!

I find that I can't yell "AAAUUUaAAARRrGghhh" with my eyes open anyway, so I honestly don't know.
