In honor of the Megatron build, here's my take on it but with a LPL instead of a ERPPC. This thing rips up lights and medium mechs. And if you can get behind a heavy or assault, those too.
Well if we're playing the speed game, you can lose a ton of MG ammo and go up 3 KPH. Who really needs 4,000 rounds of MG ammo in a match? Also if we ditch the AMS, we can get a XL 345 in the sucker and move at 100 KPH w/out Speed Tweak. This is probably optimal for this build.
You can't pack as many MGs on a 2D2, which is why I picked the 2H. This build is about maximizing DPS for dealing with fast moving lights and mediums, while also getting behind heavies and assaults to wipe out that weak back armor. How would you put this concept on a 2D2?
You lose the MG, yes but you get more streaks! 2x LLas, 4x SSRM4, BAP, JJ You lack the MG, but the 2x LLas is going to work well, with longer ranges. Your targets now includes mediums, and can actually do more long range fire support before engagements. Oh it fits the name starscream well, LLas on both hands, and loads of missiles!
I can't lie, the sustained dps on this build looks wicked. I don't like streaks a lot so I figured I'd just go for the epic duels. with all this sustained DPS I should be able to brawl effectively indefinitely. even more cooling = Scarier SDPS: Moar Alpha:
Nice modifications SubjectSeven. My 2H is basically set up the same way but with a regular PPC instead of the LPLas. I honestly didn't even consider using the pulse laser instead but it definitely fits with the rest of the build. Reduces long range options but becomes extra deadly up close.
Napes I saw someone run the PPC w/ SSRM+MG build and that was the inspiration for my build. I thought 'this is swell, but can I get more DPS?"
Well the 14.21 MAX DPS of the last build is pretty scary, higher than many Heavy builds I've seen. Together with the great cooling this build has, it seems to me that this will do a lot of hurt, and especially on hotter maps it'll be amazing since other people will heat up much faster in many cases, effectively winning you the duel in an extended fight. It's even higher than the DPS of a triple AC build for the 2H (3AC/2 = 12.00 DPS)
Yeah you dialed it in to about the top of the DPS scale SubjectSeven. Nice. I think, with an SRM10, you'll eat up that ammo fast. I know I would. I'd probably do 2xSRM4 and put on more ammo.
