Oooh! Pick Stumbles! Stumbles is my favorite Stone Rhino; he loves getting pets, and treats, and long walks, and he carries fifty-four tons of autocannon. And I do mean 54 tons of autocannon; ammo and all, 63% of Stumbles's tonnage is devoted to boomsticks. He is very slow; take only 8 skill nodes in cooldown, which will let you afford speed tweak along with the bare minimum of other skill nodes: aff5fdfdf745e28470a49cdf5ef207420405a00008066124b100180000000 If he's still too slow, my Original Configuration ditches the jump jets for more speed and a targeting computer.

My Second-favorite Stone Rhino is a walking treatise on the importance of trigger discipline, leveraging the awesome power of Clan Single Heat Sinks (and compact laser weaponry.) Arrange your firing groups into "left-side" and "right-side," then use chain fire for poking with the ERLLs. Don't even bother with Cooldown skill nodes, but I do recommend overheat damage reduction. It's a trading build, so don't get locked into a brawl, but it is a murder-beast within its role. Bring all the cool shots - something is going to get melted down tonight! =]

And of course no discussion of brutal Stone Rhino builds is complete without the Koloss! A dedicated brawler by design - and a literary reference to a great author by choice - the Koloss is faster than anything its size has a right to be. MASC and a 112-point scatter-damage alpha allows the Koloss to move like a Heavy when it sprints, positioning itself where enemies will not expect, and minimizing retaliation when it moves in to crush damaged opponents. The SRMs are hot, but the dual LB-20X are heat-negative, allowing you to work the margins of a fight while you cool down, and if someone forces you into an overheat brawling death - you're not going alone.

i like the SR-1 loaded with auto cannons and Guass rifles or Hyper gauss 16's...

if missiles are more your thing there's the sr-3

https://mwo.nav-alph...b=f49be336_SR-3


If you dont' mind the heat or want lasers the Sr-7/6 is where you go I don't own the 6 yet but here's my 7 build

https://mwo.nav-alph...b=cb3cef3a_SR-7


the SR-6 looks to be a small laser boat or lighter laser boat with 15 energy slots 7 in each side torso and one in the head... don't have that one at present.
