Because of the %-nature of the yaw-speed skillnodes, the Gyr won't ever become very twitchy. That being said, you can reach 3 nodes on the right (correction: left) side with relative little investment. So it might be worth a try. In general, I'd consider it a mid-to-long-range mech, though.

Edit: corrected to left side. Geez, I always trip about right and left...

Hey folks, got some questions regarding the skillpoint-distribution for some recently bought Night-Gyrs. While I kinda like the mech and his loadout capabilities so far, he feels like a stone in terms of torso mobility. Whenever I am forced into some brawling situation, it feels like I am sitting in a supersuperheavy-mech ... jump jets or not.

So is picking some / a lot of mobility-nodes recommended or do I just have to position myself better to make better use of the (long range)loadout?
Thanks in advance!

10% of nothing is nothing.

So no, mobilty nodes are a total and utter waste of time in every instance.

Firepower / Survival / Operations. That's where you invest for basically anything above a Med.

The Gyr has Assault level weapon capabilites and thus it handles like one. The Gyr is also not a brawl mech, so you should not be in brawl range. You need to 'kite', shoot & move. Maintain distance. Then it's not as much of a problem.

Simply put, ignore mobility nodes on anything that isn't a light or fast medium (or I guess a fast heavy like the Linebacker, but those are few and far between)

That is way way WAAAY to hot. You won't be able to sustain and you have no dissipaton with only 12 cDHS.

5 UAC2s is hot enough on it's own. Putting lasers is a no-no.

IE, ditch the lasers and add cDHS.

Or just do THIS.
