Good NEWS!!! ATTENTION THIS BUILD WORKS AGAIN

Hello!

This is my first build on Mech Specs I have used this board in and out for the past few months of MWO and i finally have the chance to post new builds with the newly released clan mechs!

So here it goes...



1.) 6x ER-Slaser
2.) 6x ER - Slaser
3.) 4x Machine Gun
4.)12x ER - Slaser (chain fired)
5.)12x er - A-A-ALPHA STRIKE!!!

Glad the small lasers got a little bit of a buff and this build kicks a fare amount of butt.

 

Nice build! Haven't had a chance to play much since the Clan release but this looks like a much better build than the stock which is a fire twice and hide to cool down. I was wondering ifs build like this was viable so I guess the proof is in the pictures!

 

Mods close the Nova forums, GG everyone, SgtEva01 wins.

 

Perfect Build. I make 1461 DMG in my best Matches hear:

 

Wrong section

 

I am sorry Solahma I tried to look at the rules and i found some of the info but i wase not 100% sure how to post a build in the actual mech part of the nova board can you please tell me how so i can avoid this in the future? or maybe post the link to were i can read the info?

Thanks!!!

 

This build is off the charts. I guarantee some sort of nerf is incoming. This thing just melts faces. The DPS is crazy high, the damage to heat ratio of the C-ERSML beats everything. It has to get pretty close, but when pugging thats no problem. I've only run around a dozen drops but I've already topped 1k three or four times, my best is 1565. This is probably my highest damage total to date, without air/arty, on any mech and this thing only weighs 50 tons!?!

 

Weapon Groups:


1. Left Arm SLas
2. Right Arm SLas
3. Machineguns


This runs cool. The key is to stick close to your heavier brawlers and try to hit your target within the 180 meter range as often as possible. The Machine guns make short work of any mech lacking armor.

 

The July 2nd patch ruined this build now. Going from 60 dmg to 48 for +20m range was a horrible trade off. RIP my beautiful backstabber. You will be missed.

 

Running this with the new level 5 weapon modules is pretty nice. I like to run mine with a TC1 and 1/2 less MG ammo.

 

I love this mech and build. So much fun to play, I feel like such a bully in it. I also run level 5 weapon modules and this is my take on the build:

 

Not viable anymore.

This does not "melt face" anymore.

You cannot alpha, as shoul be clear, and you are forced to wait a long time before some opportunity arises to ambush someone. The very limited range makes you useless on long to mid range encounters and you are absolutly team dependend - they don´t flank with you, or backup you? -> Dead

Everyone and their mother knows after 4-5 salvos your close to overheating, so they chase you down. Sure, if all your salvos land spot on, your target is dead after 4 salvos of 12 ERSL, but on under 200 meters infight - they wont stay put.

With all those alpha-monsters out there, it only takes one misstep and you loose at least on component, and after that ist just downhill.

After the nerv I just feel this thing doen´t "bring" it anymore

 

Sadly this Build is no longer viable what so ever... After the first laser nerf it reduced the damage out put but gave you more range... After the second Nerf (the one a few weeks ago) it 100% killed the build it just runs WAY to HOT...

I really with they would look at the mechs that use lasers as its primary source of damage before screwing us over like that...

As of Right now the nova was my #1 clan mech now it sits stripped and used with a nice big "Reject" stamp on its head in my garage...

Trying to find a different Super Nova build to bring it back to life...

 

I still have a lot of fun in this build. Even loaded the cERSL weapon modules.

 

I'm still running this build and it feels OKAY. not what it was, but still OKAY especially compared to IS mediums. The laser balance was needed because builds like this were clearly OP. Getting dethroned from an OP status doesn't write it off as "unusable" in my books. I will agree that it was pretty harsh for the Nova considering it's huge flaw, someone can easily blow off your arm(s) and make you useless. HUGE arm hitboxes. Hopefully they address the specifics with the Nova to help it out a bit, but it is still much stronger than most IS mediums (especially of the same tonnage)

 

Warning, slas damage 4>5. 12 more damage on this build ! back to 60 damage plus 200m range without modules

 

Yeah, took this build out for the first time and got over ~900 damage several kills. Confirmed works great.

 

Glad this build is working again the Nova BBQ is off the menu its more of a slow roast now...

Took it out of the garage for the first time in a few months and first game was 1,000 damage game along with 5 or 6 kills... If you can get behind assaults with this bad boy they are 100% toast hands down every time.

Have fun every one!

 

Build works great. Avoid attempting to trade until you are within optimal range for those ERSL. Make sure to only fire 6 at a time and you'll be golden!

 

Mine is sitting in the hanger and i'm not sure I dare take it out for a spin.
