Man, that charge up time... Don't stand still. How about something a bit less prone to massive explosions with more speed and back up weapons? _
See, but that almost makes too much sense! Having an unarmored mech prone to massive explosions is half the fun. Although to be honest your alt seems like it would be a good time too.
Ahh yes. The good old ranging shots. I forgot about those... Well, looks like it's a brawling Gauss build!
