Addendum: in the current era of Active Probes blocking ECM up to 350 meters, this build (and the Cicada-3M overall) is particularly handy as you can...
[MEDIA] In honor of the new quirks, builds that could have been considered variants now need their own thread. Heck, I don't even think this one is...
[MEDIA] I will say this up front: I think the new quirks for BJ-3 are non-optimal for this chassis and are hard to utilize well. That being said, I...
This mech has the possibility of being a medium tank, similar to what the HBK-4SP does. I've always had very good luck spreading the damage around...
So this match has a damage/assist score of 81.25 following our legitimate rules? Not nearly high enough!
[MEDIA] I'm trying very much to find what role Vindicators fill in the era of quirks. Obviously this variant is meant to be a medium laser boat....
Update for the new era of Quickdraw dominance! I went lighter on the SRM ammo than most people typically do as I never go through it at the same...
Obviously the answer is yes. :P It is a useful metric for starting to think about how a mech will behave in the wild.
Okay, does anybody know how sustainable dps is calculated? I have to believe that it is something, like, dps * cooling efficiency. If that is the...
Actually, looks like flawed HPS values for the MLAs and LLAs (at least). What he reports for their HPS values is not what he uses for their cooling...
Does anybody know precisely how the cooling efficiency in Smurfy works? I know it's supposed to be (heat dissipated per second) / (heat generated...
How is this build with the new quirks? That heat efficiency used to be so terrible, but now it is 10% cooler so is it viable now? I used to run this...
I am seriously tempted to pick this one up, use the xl350 in it, and sell the -5k that has the 2xLLas, 4xMLas in it. The quirks for this mech are...
I don Zappo, take thee Debugger...
Don't be completely blinded by the quirks for this variant as the half quirks made what was already an excellent build even better. Better streak...
Or... BOOM! Mike dropped and I've left the room. [IMG]
The proof is in the pudding. [IMG]
I run this with an XL300. This is nutbars with the new quirks. I wanna give it 6 stars. Almost feels unfair at times!
[MEDIA] I'm surprised to find a build that hasn't been posted yet for this variant! I've always had a bit of a hard time with this variant,...
PTW for any locust would involve some insane quirks. As it is, the players out there have adapted really well to ECM blankets and with the new and...
Watching the Twitch stream they mentioned two new heroes dropping next Tuesday. One is a Shadowhawk hero, the other a locust with ECM! As I am on my...
Hmmm? Those QKD perks are pretty solid. The -5K supports its meta (albeit not my build) while the -4H quirks make it a viable brawler, finally, and...
This is a MILF.
[MEDIA] It's back, baby! Thanks to the new quirks, this old classic is back - now updated for the new era of IS dominance. I played a bit with the...
It's as cool as your mom thinks you are.
Nope. I'm convinced that the OP build is the way to go. The heat is super manageable as long as you're not the kid that needs to alpha all the...
With the new quirks this build and the one with one less MLas are definitely the clear winners for this variant. However, I'm on the fence about...
Quickdraws are back, baby! I just had a great time running around in my QKD-4H. That thing sure can tank while actually dishing out some damage now!
Man, it's good but it s still pretty hot. Kudos to PGI for actually getting me to enjoy this mech, though.
Pssshhhaww... balance.
