Wasn't sure how I felt about this mech at first but when I switched it to this load out it did pretty well. Just don't expose your CT to much, peek and take shots when the opportunity presents it's self and it will do a decent job.
My first thought was very similar. Not as cool and slightly less ammo, but, more range-alpha-DPS from 2x LPL... Should run pretty brutal with an energy strike to single components then LBX to knock it out... Could also swap for an XL340 if you're feeling spritely.
This is a good build. I run an AC/10 version of it and it's treated me well. Best games with it being a couple in the 900+ damage range. The LB10X was good for up close, but I didn't like the spread at range, so opted for the single 10 damage round.
