EBJ-A "Marksman" (1x cGauss, 5x cERML, TC1)

5/5,

Runs very cool, even without elites.

Totally asymmetrical version:



EDIT: Saucy sauce (1300+ dmg)

 

Great weapon combination. Pretty standard for the TBR, HBR, SCR. Great synergy if you charge the gauss during the ERML beam duration.

Another consideration, like in your Assym. build, is to reduce the profile of the mech by NOT using all the high-mounted hardpoints. It removes the advantage of only 2 high-mounted ERML, but it really helps reduce your ST profile, thus taking less damage (that's the theory anyway)

Just high-mounted Gauss. more important of any high-mounted weapon, however still leaves the Gauss torso more vulnerable to being hit. The risk-reward for the Gauss is worth it though IMO.


Smallest profile (NO high-mounts)

 

Good point on reducing the Ebon Jag's profile. The convergence on the arm mounts is pretty brutal, though. I've found myself scratching team mates' back armor quite often while trying to alpha. The thing is so wide lol

Idk if it's because of playing with timbers and hellbringers so much, but I like having the gauss on the right arm. Been playing around with this and have enjoyed it quite a bit:



Basically a symmetrical version of the asymmetrical build. Trying to stay away from asymm builds atm. So far I find this chassis to be a little on the squishy side.
