Will quirks make you buy new mechs?

@bart2o you still have to fire 6 and 6 with 500ms delay, but damage on cerslas has gone 4>5 so you can still deal 60 damage instead of 48 once you fire both arms.

 

- Clan ER Small Laser:
- Range increased from 150 to 200
- Max range increased from 300 to 400

Where did you get the damage increase from?

edit @Remarius I went ingame, it's 5 damage AND 200m range not counting the range module !

 

Hmm, they failed to call this damage increase out in the Patch Notes

 

Tragic thing is I'm slowly selecting and rebuilding mechs... not anticipating my wallet holding out... whelp....

It is nice every time you find a fit of yours that just got a boost with nice quirks and you need to change nothing.

 

Because of Quirk testing for science, I will be purchasing and/or testing:

OWN-Locust 3M 5x Small PULSE Lasers 60% range and 20% cooldown!

OWN-Dragon 1N for 2x AC5 50% cooldown!

-Thunderbolt 5SS 7x Medium PULSE Lasers 50% range and 25% heat!!!

-Wolverine 6R for 2x AC5 40% cooldown!

-Wolverine 7K for 3x SRM6+A 20% range and cooldown!

OWN-Hunchback 4G for 1x AC20 25% range, cooldown, and velocity

-Hunchback Grid Iron for 2x UAC5 25% cooldown and velocity!

-Firestarter A for 8x Small PULSE lasers 15% range and heat!
OWN-Firestarter H for 6x Medium Lasers 15% heat 10% range!

-Jenner K for 4x Medium PULSE Lasers 15% cooldown and heat!
OWN-Jenner Oxide for 3x SRM4+A 15% range, cooldown, and heat!
OWN-Cataphract 4X for 4x AC5 20% velocity 12.5% cooldown and range!

-Battlemaster 3S for 6x Medium PULSE Lasers 20% range, cooldown, heat!
OWN-Banshee 3E for 3x AC5 15% cooldown and velocity!
OWN-Banshee 3M for 2x Large PULSE Lasers 15% heat and range 10% duration!

OWN-Blackjack Arrow 1x AC20 15% range and velocity!

OWN-Jager DD 3x UAC5 15% range and cooldown!

OWN-Catapult Jester 3x Large Lasers 15% range and heat!

 

Certain of my builds won't be changing to be fully quirk-compliant. Just quickly perusing the list, no way I'm turning my Arrow into an AC20 mech, CN9A from srm6's to 4's, Jester from PPCs to LL's, Firebrand from 6MLs to PPCs, CTF4x from 2uac5/2ac2 to 4ac5... I'm sure there are plenty more loadouts that I just can't think of off the top of my head.

Sometimes a 7.5% bonus isn't worth it if it means making the mech you enjoy not be the mech you enjoy playing anymore. Or, it a lot of cases, I KNOW I'd be a better player with just the half quirk bonus vs the PGI-defined Champion-esque loadout.

Be careful not to go full tilt into making every build 100% 'optimized' because I don't think they all will be, quirks or no.

 

I think they should have totally paired this quirk release with an MC sale or a mech bay sale. That... would be bad for me but good for PGI.

 

oxide is amazing and I don't have SRM4 modules.
the stalker 5m too, srm 6 spam @ 338 m, fist match 666 damage too

so the timber is going to be release on the 18th? or when? I'm really curious to try the nova with the slas buff but I'm not sure yet

 

You would be surprised at what a little Locust can do in the hands of the right pilot. I have seen some jaw dropping shit.

 

I've been playing the 7MPL TDR-5SS build since the chassis tournament weekend and it is performing great. I can't imagine what it will be like when I get home from work today.

And now I really wish I hadn't sold off my BNC-3M.

 

Very few. There is one Stalker variant I *may* check out now.

 

Not having heat problems as the lack of heat reduction paired with a 15% cooldown improvement put me off on the basis of my past experiences with the chassis?

 

Quirks might bring some guys out of hibernation.
Just had Mythweaver on my team.

 

I was thinking of trying out Trebuchets. I see a lot of people run them with LRMs though and according to my stats I've run an LRM 5 twice and an LRM 15 three times out of 3,673 games. I still haven't tried out Cicadas (nope), Wolverines, Vindicators or Griffins.

 

I bought the FS9-A just to try the SPL quirks and buff. The 8x Small Pulse lasers work great. ...3rd and 4thn match each 5 Kills and a couple assists, damage around 500 = nasty little surgeon. Legging and shooting assaults in the back is fun with this...

 

I will be buying more of certain chassis now things are more in focus.... duplicate JM6-S's.

 

So, you finally realized what the halloween contest was all about. Congratz....

 

For some reason the #1 mech I want to mess with is my Phoenix locust and 2 variants gathering cobwebs since November. I bought the firestarter bundle to get myself away from it... But.. Locust..

I did take it out the 1V once or twice and bought the ERL. Fun little sniper, I'm itching to try the smpls one.
