That's the Gorelord Frankenmech.

Blight bonus decal is of a Longbow? lol

[ImaginaryFireball]

I don't know why, but every fiber of my being is screaming to slap a pair of AC/20s on Blight.

[Donnybrook]

Are there still virtually no interesting quirks on the MAD-B(LGD) Blight?

How does the Longbow work with the Blight theme? or does it have some association with marauders? Genuine question, this one has me scratching my head trying to find the correlation between the two if there even is one.

a free zoom skill if it counts.

[Donnybrook]

I'm being picky, Blight's quirk for advanced zoom +1 is rather inconsequential for an IS mech.

If I had my preference, given all of the ballistic mounts, I'd also like to see some related quirks like velocity, jam chance, or ballistic cooldown quirks. That would better align with the long range dakka the hardpoints seem to suggest.

[Main Man]

The Blight is a legitimately bad legendary mech. Lacking quirks and with it's limited hardpoints there are better Marauders let alone better heavy mechs. I regret the purchase.

The location of the ballistic HPs and the number of them make the Blight a 'unique' Marauder variant. We do know that PGI is willing to change quirks on LGDs post launch so maybe they are playing it safe and just seeing how it preforms before slapping something like UAC Jam Change -100% on it and then realizing that was a mistake and going through all the "false-advertising", "I paid for the mech with those quirks and now you took them away", "pay-to-win x1Million" kind of comments.

I do share your opinion on the lack of quirks and I hope some more unique quirks come along at some point. I bought it because I have a soft spot in my heart for Marauders but if the Blight wasn't a Marauder I would have passed.

[Donnybrook]

Granted, not every LGD has a bevy of amazing quirks. e.g.

Atlas "Warlord"
CRIT CHANCE RECEIVING -40%
HEAT -10%

But some are fun and compelling. e.g.

Quickdraw "Desperada"
FALL DAMAGE -25%
BALLISTIC VELOCITY +35%
GAUSS AMMO +7
GAUSS RIFLE COOLDOWN -20%
LIGHT GAUSS AMMO +12
LIGHT PPC HSL +2
PPC VELOCITY (ALL VARIETIES) +35%
PULSE LASER DURATION -35%
STD LASER DURATION -35%
JJ BURNTIME +35%
JJ INITIAL THRUST +30%

I think one of the most clever set of LGD quirks was on the Cyclops "Arges" too.

360 TARGET RETENTION RANGE +500
CRIT CHANCE RECEIVING -30%
SEISMIC SENSOR RANGE +150
SENSOR RANGE +250
TARGET INFO GATHERING +30%

I've literally saved my team numerous times from flanks or ambushes with that sensor package and full seismic. If Blight landed somewhere in between these examples or mimicked them to some degree at least, I suspect it would be far more attractive.

I have to say I genuinely regret buying the Gorewing. Max engine it'll allow is an XL 255 , limiting it to 75 KPH without spending skill points. Check out the other Vapor Eagles on MechDB and they don't cap so low.

Is this a bug?

Hi. Someone who got it here. It's not limited in what you can make. You just aren't creative enough.

Sure, you can make a lot of builds with it but are they good? Or even better than other Marauders? No. The combination of small ballistic slots in the CT/Head and sole Ballistic hardpoints on the torsos (and the available tonnage) mean that those extra ballistics slots are either MG or AC2s. You have two Energy slots in the arms so you'll either strip those or maybe PPCs.

The other Marauders have better energy quirks to boost performance from large hardpoints/low total number or better ballistic quirks to improve the limited large ballistic hardpoints.

With the exception of 5AC2, AC5x2/AC2x3, or RAC+MG the other Marauders can do the same builds but actually have quirks or 4+ energy hardpoints.

I've logged probably 15 or so drops in it so far and I've found it to be meh compared to the 3R or 5M

Something I realized with Blight is that its Adv Zoom quirk will not stack with the skill node for increased magnification.

Of course it doesn't. Why would you even think so? Advanced Zoom enables a specific zoom factor and a unique visible representation. It's not set up to scale multiple times.

Because I don't know everything the game is capable of, of course. They have surprised before with negative quirks, I don't immediately assume that something is completely out of their scope or ability.

Fair, still seems counter-intuitive to me.
