This is a similar build that I use for X-5 & 3M. This build is mainly for long to mid range fights with decent alpha punch at close range while allowing for extended sniping when needed. With skill, this build can really shine in any fight. Weapon grouping: 1-2xERLas 2-2xMLas 3-all chain fire Alpha-clicking both 1 & 2 with the mouse. The max damage I ever gotten was 328 pts. Of course it require skill to pilot this Mech and manage the heat. It is fast enough to sneak away from heavy and assaults while fast enough to keep up with lights. Because of lower cooling, never get into a fight unless you are sure you can break off to cool down or keep your cool to dodge their attacks. Pick off heavies from range and close in for alpha lance style strike to their back. For close range fights, use covers and alternate 1 & 2 grouping or use 3 chain fire. Always be careful of heat because nothing is worst than getting shut down in a fight. It has decent armor in both arms to be used as shield. This build sacrifice cooling for heavier long to mid range punches. In short, it's for skilled pilots that can adapt to any fight. Are you such a pilot?
Recently i keep getting legged so i maxed out on my leg armors and put whatever left on my left arm and only 1 point on my right. I guess when people see me turn to my shield arms, they go for my legs instead.
if you dont want to chase scouts, try this fun alt... MOOAAARR LAZOR ALPHA! LOL first multikill with this trollbot I would like to try your build, but i got this bug for non ferro-fibrous builds
