Ive built 4 mechs with double AMS that can still hopefully put up a competitive fight. If 2 AMS isn't enough to stop the constant *INCOMING MISSILES* barrage of ATM poptarts and LRM taters, this may be it for me. so sick of the constant balance shifts, this is turning into a job.

You do it wrong. Play also LRM boats. If the game gets flooded with the crap, maybe...just maybe...PGI will see what is right for once (emphasis on: MAYBE)

You should just play what you love. Besides, the truth is actually counter-intuitive to what you're suggesting. If a weapon system becomes so obscenely effective that it leads to just 1 or 2 players polarizing 90% of everybody else in every game they're in...then that's more likely to reflect on the population numbers on PGI's end...and as we all know, PGI is relatively good at tweaking or responding to things purely reaction to database numbers--to a fault even.

I think I'll be skilling up my quad AMS, dual gauss Corsair. The dual gauss can also be swapped out for an AC10 and 2 AC5s or dual UAC10s (each with 4xML secondary weaponry).

What perfect timing.. Corsair with quad ams.

I feel the same way. Every few months I have to re-build have my entire mech stable due to the balancing changes. It a constant merry-go-round. One month ER MLs are great and I buy a bunch of ER ML, then they decide to make them hotter than hell and give them and exceptionally long cooldown so back to standard MLs or over to MPLs I go. Then next month they feel inferno hot isn't enough for Clan mechs and make them run even hotter so I here I am again swaping out weapons and changing up my builds. The next month ACs are the target and now all of sudden UACs jam so much they aren't worth using. The next month, the have increase the heat and beam duration of Heavy lasers so have to strip the out to go back to LPLs. Then they add in the ST heat spike to LFEs so I rebuild yet again either trying to fit standard engines in or going "hell with it" and dropping in XLs since there isn't much difference between and XL and LFE from a survivability standpoint. Of course with every change there is a huge risk that the mechs I love and enjoy playing become total dogcrap not to mention all the mechs I have spent real money on, rusting away because the changes scewed then over in some way, form or fashion due to the constant and continual changes. Blah I am so sick of it.

Shhh I've seen the "internal balance notes" it's all just a ploy to sell that pir with 4 ams, the Jester with 2 ams and more k-foxes.

Thanks for reminding me that I have a lot of MCs and no Jester.

No problem. I have jester. It is a fun laser mech. Only able to mount two jump jets so if you're use to four or more it kind of sucks there. I usually run 2 larges and mls with ams and lfe. I forgot which skill trees I put points into. Snubs ppcs in the side torso are light mech level or swaped out for lpls are great take-that to lights and meds. Catapults with full survival and mobility are great as my c1 and c4 both mirror those trees.

My own Jester build is 2 LL, 4 ERML, 18 DHS, STD300, and 2 AMS with 2 tons of ammo.
