    My variation on it. Uses all crits, all tonnage, and looks like a walking rave. Wub.

    The 8 MPLas build above two games in a row. Get a cool map, and here are the results:

    would have killed the rest if it wasn't for a brawl with a AC40 Jager. By all rights, he should have been dead. I got my alpha off first into his orange CT... have no idea why he didn't die. All that was left was a nice, slow, open Atlas and a nearly legged raven. GAH! oh well, very good game none the less.

    [​IMG]
    The pin-point damage of this mech is incredible. Two ravens tried to swarm me, all I had to do was stead aim at a leg and it went flying off, then take the other. Rinse and repeat. After that I closed distances with more mechs and punished them with the pin-point goodness ^_^

    Bit more speed, Bit more heat, Bit more armor, Bit better with STD, otherwise unchanged.



    Would totally try this.

    Though not nearly as fun as the one I made, that one was funny. :D

    Holy hell. Is this the first 1K+ game using STD heatsinks?

    I doubt it's the first 1K+ with SHS, somebody has done it before, somewhere...

    SHS give it ~6 more heat capacity than the DHS build and ~5% better heat dissipation.That's enough to do 3 alphas on a heat neutral map. As a result, it also has ~0.5 more sustained DPS. The rate it loses heat is ridiculous.

    You can also drop to an XL325 and take 3 more SHS. The trade off is as follows:

    +4 heat capacity
    +3% heat dissipation
    -4.7 kph

    and Sustained DPS goes from 5.07 to 5.47

    Keeping this build in close quarters is ridiculous. No damage is wasted on other components because it is so pin-point. The slight duration of the pulse lasers allows you to adjust your aim while firing to make sure it hits the right component. Sure, some of that damage is going to spread and it is impossible to keep it perfectly focused, but I'm beginning to think the pulse pin-point is extremely effective at component discrimination. Getting very consistent 4-5 kill games, a lot more consistent than any other build/mech I've run. Even the beloved BNC-3E!


    EDIT:
    Apparently June 3rd they are buffing the MPLas. Increasing Ranges from 200-400m to 220-440m. They are also decreasing the heat from 5 to 4.6.

    This means the heat generated by this mech will feel like 7 MPLas, you will basically get to fire a MPLas for free with the heat saved across the board.

    I don't always jump for joy when a weapon gets a buff, but when I do, i'm already doing well with it.

    Damn, that is excellent news, just the range buff will really help since you have to get in so close and personal to be effective. I'll have to take my 7xMPLas TDR-5SS out for a spin again once this buff hits. Coring heavies in 10 seconds is just plain fun. I've already sold my 3M, but I may give it a try in a 3S, though it will have to be with DHS instead.

    By the way, do you ever run your MPLas in chain-fire mode? It doesn't give the satisfaction of a 48 point alpha, but the sound and light from the constant pulsed beam is a thing of beauty.

    I don't chain fire very often. Usually it's when I am trying to tag that last bit of internals on a red torso and i'm getting close to overheat.

    I don't see any reason not to chainfire. You can tap the key faster to shoot at any rate you want. You can over-lap them a small bit and still fire continuously.

    It would probably work as a scare tactic during some brawls. The constant stream of wub-wub might make them realize how much dps you are really dishing out.

    However, I mainly prefer to alpha or half-alpha and then torso twist to utilize the giant shield arms.

    My weapon groups are as follows:
    Weapon Group 1 (LMB): 3 Left Torso and 1 Head
    Weapon Group 2 (RMB): 4 Right Torso
    Weapon Group 3 (thumb): All in chain-fire

    splitting them up like this is useful when you are peeking around cover. You can shoot just that side and decide to push and fire the other, you can wait and follow up with an alpha, or you can reverse back into cover and haven't used too much heat since you didn't fire the other 4.

    It has happened!

    Holy DPS for a pure energy mech!

    Original build was 5.07 sustained dps before today's patch, now it's 6.40!!! wow!

    Makes the XL325 version even crazier @ 6.80 dps and 51% heat efficiency :rofl::

    i love this build, running it with std350

    but on some maps you are just a dmg sponge until you fall over, 4/5

    Its an amazing build. Thanks for showing me it Solahma. I originally thought it wouldn't be very effective. But then before even getting any efficiency upgrades, I started having 500-800 dmg games.

    EDIT: Best game so far. This was with only basic efficiencies unlocked. Also had 2 coolshots equipped but they were unused.

    Hootchie, Fox, and Jedi were great lancemates.

    Happy you like it Pooty :)

    The build definitely has its niche if you can play it right.
