DWF-P "Bipolar" (2x cGauss, 12x cSPL, 2x JJ)

5/5,

2 ratings

Keep firing Gauss at distance. Brawl with two sets of 6 cSPL. Switch back to Gauss to cooldown. Try not to alpha! That's 3 groups of ~30 damage once you get in close.



Alternate with 14x cSPL for more punch. Uses "B" CT and "S" HD omnipods.

Darn it Sol, you beat me to it! Smurfy on my phone is a pain to work with.

I may also try a build with four LB5s or a max targeting computer...

 

my god. these new omni's are a joke.

 

I died a little inside when I saw someone had beaten me to this...

How bad does it overheat on alpha, anyway? SPLs aren't that hot....

EDIT: Oh, I just checked, SPLs do have ghost heat. Heat simulator says that if you alpha, it'll take not quite two minutes to cool off.

So don't alpha.

 

5/5 build (no need to test, it's just a monster)
10/10 name

 

I tried this build, then tried to move to a 14ERSL 3x UAC5 build but mechlab gave me a new error: YOU HAVE TOO MANY WEAPONS ON YOUR MECH!

Apparently the cap is 16

 

ANY MORE AND YOU CAN'T SEE WHERE YOU ARE SHOOTING BECAUSE OF THE HUD!

 

I'd gladly disable the HUD for MOAR WEAPONZ!

If it weren't for fixed slots you could run 10 ERPPCs... 14 ERLL might be worth taking out for some giggles though.

 

you CAN run 10 ERPPCs now!

Not Smurfed to avoid derailing the OP's build

 

That's an old issue - my Nova skirted it at 16 aka 12 ERSL and 4 MG.

 

For some reason I thought clan ERPPCs were 7 tons, you should be able to run 11 of them for a 165 damage blast

 

sadly, with ZERO armor, your are 1/2 ton short and absolutely no way to get that. Literally JUST adding ERPPCs.\

EDIT: derp... didn't see that combination. You can fit 11

 

Changed the build a little after discussing with @Falconium
(added build as an alternative in the OP)



This is easily the best build I ran last night while testing. The gauss rifles with 50 shots let me take as many shots as I wanted. Getting in close, it had very manageable heat. Made sure to shoot one side and then the other. If you accidentally alpha, it will overheat, but not for long. Just barely overheats with all 12 cSPL on a hotter-than-neutral map! Cold maps I believe it can alpha without overheating.

Brawling and watching your heat makes the Gauss rifles valuable. If you can't fire another volley of Small Pulses, then you can take a couple seconds to line up a Gauss shot, then get back to the small pulses. Also a good idea to have all the cSPL in another weapongroup with chainfire.

The build doesn't have devastating alpha damage at any reasonable range, but once you are in close for those Small Pulses, it's an absolute monster.

The build runs heat efficient enough to consider swapping the 4 torso cSPL with cERML for some added range potential. I'll give it a try and report back.

 

Someone bought it.... might have to succumb...

 

This thing is awesome! =D

It's hard to get used to the DWF without arm actuators though... I'm going to try running it like this:



You downgrade to a TC 1, but you acquire actuated arm lasers and a bit more armor in the legs.

(Also, I forgot how to make the smurphy links work... ah well. ;-; )

 

4 cERML in center torso is perfect advance with this build.

 

Have a similar build, but use 5 cMPL for added reach:

 

Was wrecking lots of mechs with this build while playing with JagerXII and crew late last night. Averaged 4-5 kills a match. Just focused on the Gauss while closing then unleashed with volleys of the Small Pulses. They provide so much focused damage it's laughable. Up-close you put yourself into a pattern: Charge gauss, fire, right side, left side, repeat. That's 3 groups of 30 damage when you're close enough, quickly followed by another volley.

Loving this build.
