Honestly running the 320 because it is what i have available - but yes just logged in and i am running 15hs - updating config. on post now I average 400 damage/match and i think i am about average pilot.
I believe you can deal a lot more damage with this build. Definitely! Add two more DHS and you can almost non-stop fire.
I appreciate your advice - been back since closed beta for about 12days and been using your builds on about 80% of my mechs as I've aquired them. Step 1 : buy mech Step 2 : find a Blagg post for a build This was the first time I came up with a better one of my own (imho) - can't wait to see what builds are realized after the mech is out for awhile. (Post updated to 15hs)
This actually looks really really solid. I have been liking the ERLLas since the nerfs to PPC as they offer a pretty efficient long range solution, but in practice I have noticed that I generally am still fighting in the 300-600 range most of the time, and regular LLas are just fine in that range still. I like this enough that I'm gonna give it a try, only have an XL300 currently, still saving some pennies for an XL325 that I'd like to try in this and other mechs, so I have 15 DHS, AMS, full armor, and 40 gauss rounds. Should be interesting, thanks!
what about this tweak: You get more Armor and a XL325 where you can stick more heatsinks into the Engine.
This is a great build (I'm using Blagg's tweak) that can really rack in the damage. It's no where near fully levelled yet but its already a beast. Ghost heat really isn't too bad for the occasional 3x LLas alpha and the Gauss complements them well by being a practically 0 heat weapon. Good job man!
