    The TDR-9SE gets a tasty -20% Heat, +20% Range, and +12.5% Cooldown bonus for Large Pulse Lasers, which leads logically to this loadout (or you could go with 3 LPlas and a STD engine if you prefer but it only nets you one more heatsink).

    These quirks put the LPLas range at 437.5m, which is just shy of the standard LLas, and with 17DHS and the heat quirk, you can Alpha 3 or 4 times (screw ghost heat!) before overheating, depending on the map. Or if you prefer more sustained damage, you can fire all four on chain fire, which leads to an almost constant stream of laser bolts.

    No real point in taking the ghost heat penalty when with the level 5 range and cooldown you recover so quickly: 2 2 2 2 2 2....

    Sadly doesn't have a duration bonus but the rest are nice as a package.

    Likely to drop a DHS for another JJ myself as I like slightly more manoeuvarability and controlling the heat on this chassis isn't too hard if you're sensible.

    Proof of OP's build with Range 5 and Cooldown 5 modules:

    The LPL in the torso are really useful but the arm not so much as they're low. Most of that match I was unable to use the RA dual LPL as I had to hug the mountain as was holding off their flank push.

    Definitely use 2+2+2+2+2 as you keep up fairly non stop fire. Range is 475m optimal with quirk and module.

    Considering there are 3 energy hardpoints on the torso and this mech's arms almost drag on the ground, why not:
    1. place 3 lasers in LT and only 1 in RA
    2. crit pad the RA with heat sinks and leave the LA completely empty for shielding
    Yes this leaves the 3 lasers in the LT more prone to getting crit but if your armor is gone, you would prob die from your XL engine getting hit anyway.

    And I thought the wubwubwubwubwubwubwub is fun, but than I tried out the WUBWUBWUBWUB!!!

    Haven't played the game in like a half a year, but with the new quirks, the TDR is quickly becoming my fave inner heavy.

    Most people just don't expect the dmg this chubby Awesome-wannabe can dish out.

    If you sit out the poking first half to get to the brawling session, IF ever, than the 5SS sure does better. I don't tend to have the patience for it, and with this, you can poke all you want.
