    Looks like a perfect build for the behaviour I've seen this weekend. Long-range well-armored-killstealing-equipment,... You just sit in your 100 ton tank at the back of the battle spamming lurms at any target that comes in lock. The gauss is to make sure you can get a killing blow in from way back where you are,... This build is genius ;)

    See, I can allow for LRM Stalkers...they are built in a way that they can actually perform reasonably with LRMs. Not Atlases though ;)

    LRM Stalkers, Battlemasters, and Awesomes --- because they only weigh 80/85 tons, they aren't as much of a waste of the Chassis; they also all have hit-boxes which many consider poorly designed for brawling.

    For myself, I would still rarely bring an LRM Assault of any kind; but I am never as mad seeing them as when I see an LRM Crab or Atlas . . .

    BLR-1S ... The one assault that makes lurms look good!

    Found a couple of interesting setups over the weekend:

    WRONG BUILD POSTED.
    I am sure 3x AC5 2x PPC ain't that cringey.

    That BJ dude is probably trying to retrofit his mech with some enforcer ideas... bad move though.

    Okay, time to share my pain:
    [​IMG]

    Okay. So. I'm hoping this guy *just* picked this Atlas up. Please.

    [​IMG]

    Okay, so the LLas and the MLas... yeah... I see that.
    But two. Lurm. Fives. That I... It's... No. Something about it feels... wrong.

    I was too busy to screenshot it, but I just ran into an Atlas who used the LRM build above...without the Gauss. Just 4x LRM15...le sigh.

    I had a double-take when I saw this Victor build. I couldn't believe it could be real, but when I tried to get back to it again the HUD glitched out and all I got was empty loadouts and WWWWWWWWWWWW. I assume he just wanted to fill up each of the hard points, even though he would have been better taking more ammo. But really I don't think the Victor makes a good LRM boat.

    Well, to be fair those close range self defence weapon is less that 5 tons. But yeah, the small tube size coupled with the agile structure of Victor... a waste to be an LRM boat.

    This . . . I don't even know what he was trying to accomplish exactly.

    [​IMG]

    Maybe he really wanted to put a TC7 in there? But at the same time didn't think to bring a backup Laser? :rolleyes:

    Maybe a CW build? I can only assume he was carrying a shit ton of ammo and enough DHS to stay heat neutral no matter what? Best guess:

    Possibly . . . but I question why you would ever try something like that in regular queue. Sure, it has the advantage of an insane amount of ammo; but in regular queue, you will never need that much anyway, so there's nothing to try. And using it in regular queue just to see if 4xUAC5 has less DPS than 5xUAC5 is hardly even something needing testing, as the math says it plain and simple.

    In any case, you're probably right, it probably is a high-ammo design intended for CW. I just don't see the point of bringing it to regular queue.

    Found this artform:


    Somewhat sure about his AC20 ammo. He has 60 missiles at 11 minutes left.

    /shudder...there is something about the AH that makes people all too eager to fuck it up as much as they can...

    It is not a easy mech to build on. I was using XL225 with AC20 + 3x SRM4. Ammo is tight... 3 ton for AC20 and 4 ton for SRM.

    Quirk is AC20 and missiles.

    I still haven't played mine...but I think I would drop down to an AC10 just to be able to fit more ammo in the build. That's my plan, eventually, when I get around to it ;)

    Better to use CN9-A then... same weapons and you get more quirk bonus for missiles, plus ML for backup.
