I tried the 5M w SRMs. It's cool when you get to round a corner and pummel a Dire Wolf or Atlas into scrap.

Unfortunately, if you're spotted and they figure out your payload, you're unlikely to get the chance to do that to anything faster than a whale. The torso twist speed and range are too limited. Stalker can't brawl.

The build is only moderately improved in effectiveness on the 3F, with its considerably wider twist angle.

I´m looking for a good build for my Misery. I just mastered it with the duoble PPC + AC20 Build and had tons of fun with it.
But i normally prefer LL or ERLL over PPC-Weapons + i had the ERLL Cooldown Module lying around, so there´s that.

I tweaked it a bit and came up with this:

3ERLL
1 AC20 (3,5t Ammo)

What do you Stalker Profis think?

Should i go for the assymetric Loadout like the PPC-Build and put both ERLL on one Side, is a cool efficiency of 41% enough? What would you alter?

As for now i´m really having fun with it and im loving the AC20 an a Stalker but i´m relatively new to the game (3 month of active playing) and open for suggestions.

Edit: Obviously i forgot 1 tonnage of ammo or heatsink.

Is it a good idea to run a XL on a stalker? I've been using stalkers for over a year now and own the hero and all of them besides the 4N.

I am going to get the 4N now and I kinda want to put an XL 300+ on it with an LRM 20, 2 SSRM 2, 2 med lasers, 1 tag, and 2 PPC's.

Just from day 1 of looking at the 4N I kinda liked the idea of having large missile in 1 arm and large energy in the other. (also the fact 2 PPC's do 20 damage and an LRM 20 does 20 damage makes it a balanced build)

Edit: I've been looking at it and it seems that every time my ST is taken out on a stalker usually my other is not that far behind or my CT is already pretty banged up. So I am starting to think that sacrificing that 5 seconds of extra life for more speed to not be left behind by the team could help.

Only if you're on the enemy team.

Also, why turn the 4N into a missile boat? It's got all those juicy energy quirks, and you said you own all the others.

I think calling a mech with 2 PPC's and 2 Medium Lasers and a Tag a missile boat is a bit silly...

2 medium lasers do more damage then 2 SSRM 2's.
2 PPC's do equal damage to 1 LRM 20.
tag does equal damage to nothing.


4E + 1E (Tag) verse 3M.

It isn't a "LRM boat". It's a skirmisher.


I am aware of the energy quirks, hence why I'm putting 2 PPC's on my 4N after I start building it. And personally the more and more I use the other stlakers the more and more I think I should run an XL unless I got a CT E which the 4N lacks.

Usually my other side torso is already long gone when the other pops and then I'm a useless 46 kph stick.
If I had an XL I could have avoided that situation, carried more firepower, and probably had more impact before I am disarmed.

I do't believe the lrm 20 will give you an advantage in the 4N. Only the 3h has the firing capacity to make the missile glob. On a 4N they would still fire in 2 volleys of 20. 10 for each launcher. So the lrm 10 will save you tonnage and reload faster. Check smurfy for the exact tube number on those side launchers.

I am familiar with the LRM tube count (oh those lovely days being an LRM 20 locust in a 1 tube launcher... it took so long to fire that the launcher started reloading and reloaded when 10 missiles were fired.

It's so funny because eventually that means you can be firing 5 missiles out of 1 tube at the same time... or 10... you know how insane it is to fire 10 LRM missiles every 0.2 seconds? )

Anyway a single LRM 10 would be knocked out with ams while 2 10's in burst would work a bit better.

I purchased a Misery while it was on sale. I tried the x2 PPC/Gauss, didn't like it.

How do I get the most out of this mech? I'm running a 300 STD, Gauss, LPL + 4ML, and a SRM-4

[Richard Hazen]

I've been playing with this build, I love the flurry of missiles but I'm not sure whether it's the best layout for it.

What should I do to a old stalker 3F that is filled with large lazers?
I created it back when PPCs were the king but I currently have no idea of what is good and what isnt.

my stalker, work wonders..

[Psibelius]

I tried the LL build suggested by many others for the 4N, either 4 or 6 LL with LL range and cooldown modules. Add that to Radar Deprivation and the quirks, and it's extremely effective and easy to use. Only ever fire 2 at a time (don't alpha), stay with another big mech out at long range, and poke poke poke. I spend a lot of matches hanging with an Atlas or a Dire Wolf and help keep them alive so that they can do their thing.

[Discojaddi]

I have a 3F sitting around, been playing a really fun new loadout, does about 400-500 dmg per game

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...f6644d72296d5a2

LRMS for indirect fire/harassment, 2 erll for long range direct fire, and the 4mpl discourage those who get too close to you.

[Archang31]

Stalker-5m
std 300 engine
2 ERLL's (these might change to just LL's) and 3 MPL's for defense and ranged damage.
2 LRM 10's for peppering
endo steel structure
double sinks
5T ammo

I'm new, so I'm working out the kinks but I like how this is so far.
