Skoll posted:Do Atlas still move at -30 mph? That was the shittiest thing of engine decoupling for me. It's still around 54kp/h but the pace of the game has slowed considerably. Many new mechs move really slowly and going 54kp/h is no longer as big of a problem it used to be, you are still slow but so are many others.

Pattonesque posted:anyone have a good brawly non-laservom Roughneck build? I like mechs with hilarious amounts of health that take way too long to kill because it makes the pubbies mad Sorry, missed this earlier. You probably want the RGH-1C, it's got the right hardpoints and a higher turn speed than the other Roughnecks, which is huge for a brawler. Convergence on the SRM4s is probably not great, so I suppose you could replace them with two MRM20s.

Rysithusiku posted:Still aiming for a big fatty? Always.  But seriously, even the triple SRM6 -S was noticeably easier to run than the -D. I didn't take out the MRMs or quad SRM6 yet. Neither were skilled up (founders one has a lot of survivability, but that is it) and I imagine going for those torso agility skills will make a world of difference. The goal isn't necessarily to get anything super competitive for them, I just was trying to get something workable. I have a deathstrike to make money and carry but I want to at least be able to play without being a hindrance in my Founder Atlas every once in a while.

I just remember trying to use the Atlas after that update and pretty much getting murdered instantly because you literally could not turn to soak damage or anything.

Pattonesque posted:OK so I saw a guy in a match take that MASC Wolverine and put one MRM and drat near a max engine on it I made a MRM30 CDA X-5 with some token lasers in the same vein and it's awesome against bigger targets now that running circles around one has pretty much ceased to be viable. The Hellspawn may be an even better platform (MRM30, 3 ERML, ECM, XL300).

Crazyeyes24 posted:Related, I am also still open to input on making my founders AS7-D not terrible. Been playing around with (U)AC20, HGR, and think I am getting close with: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=16&l=fa90e6b03bb7a9206436e00d98be21ab4c711143 Thebeefs newtech atlas was fairly good IF YOU MUST use the founders -D. Uac20, mrm30*20, and a light 350. Spreads damage, but just does so much of it you don't care. Try this on for size if you get sick of the -S.http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=16&l=1fcb492877c1e693057e54cb274414fb04c1862e UAC/20 ammo is 7 shots per ton,(3 shells per volley); mrm ammo is 300/ton. If you find yourself running dry before you die, drop flamers for ammo. Before newtech,2 lb10 and a 325 std was the sort of 'i'm sick of this and don't know what to change' on the d-dc.

A bad game is like 500 damage, but this thing tickles 1000 almost every time I take it out. Be patient, know when to double tap and when not to. Your damage mitigation no longer comes from twisting but from picking the right target to shoot and making them decide that they will trade more favorably with something else; then keep doing that. Full survival tree, lot in weapons focusing on heat gen nodes, and I did bother with most of the sensor tree for ECM; even though my Ghost Dad is painted bright yellow, not having the red idiot box makes people ignore me when I'm not a threat and then by the time they do see me, I'm in range.

Are light mechs easier to pilot than the larger ones or something? I suck poo poo with mediums. Do ok to bad with large and assault. But my light mech feels like a total death machine.

If you get caught out of position in an Annihilator, you are pretty much boned, but you can run away in a Locust If you peek a dual-heavy gauss mech who has you zeroed in an Annihilator you will take damage but survive, but you will be one-shot in a Locust they're forgiving of positioning mistakes but unforgiving of engagement mistakes

In other news, I have gotten my black widow all skilled up and have been doing rather well with it. Not quite carrying, but getting some big damage in.

Pattonesque posted:classic BW build, one of my favorites With this setup, it usually ends up coming out just perfect. I had a 1066 damage game where I had about 4 volleys left. Was struggling to get it to a good spot, but now with that added agility I am starting to get a handle on re-positioning in order to really unload on people who are distracted. The faster torso twist speed is huge and the XL really doesn't seem to be a hindrance survivability wise.

Black Widow owns hard, best IS hero mech IMO. I've been playing it with dual LBX20s lately. It doesn't sound like it would be so strong but I've been having big multiple 1k+ games in it recently. You can torso twist like an absolute madman in between strikes and basically feel like a boxer doing Dempsey rolls in it. But the classic UAC5s + AC5s is outstanding. Warhammers in general are fantastic bread and butter IS mechs.

The clan max tonnage for scouting is back at 55 tons. Really stupid that they didn't make this change when the Black Lanner was announced, it's 55 ton clan medium.

It also won't do much to impact balance because all it does it put the Stromcrow back in the mix, and Bushwackers'll still run roughshod over them. Edit: And some good news for non-Piranha lights on the eve of the MG-pocalypse. They're finally fixing the non-functional Rate of Heat Loss quirks. The Locust, Commando, Urbanmech, and others will see a buff to their heat dissipation. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Jan 23, 2018 |

But my light mech feels like a total death machine. More forgiving, yeah, but to be effective to leading your team to victory is probably the most challenging roll in the game. If you do your job right you should end up dead (or one sneeze away) with ~10 assists and 500 dmg with a stolen kill or two. It’s all about running squirrel. Unless you were in an Arctic Chester before it got nerfed; then you just ran the entire game.

When haven't nerds cried that the LRM lifestyle was going to die? They were crying about that during the LURMAcolypse when you would get absolutely shredded by them. Most of these players are people who've never used anything outside of a LRM centric build since 2013 I suspect.
