MRM40 spreads the damage too much...

I made an altnerative with MRM40 LL 4mL and works better

 

Highly recommend this build, the shoulder mounted MRM is a joy to use, and gives a serious punch on top of the pin-point laser damage

I got my first 1000+ damage game this morning with a lesser version of your Parting Gift build. I'm lacking funds for a big Light Engine at the moment.

Since I'm not planning on spending skill points on speed tweak, I think I'll stick with the LE340 you suggest, the build has slightly better heat management. I'm still lacking the trigger discipline to NOT damage myself by overheating almost every game

The speed difference is negligible I think, I find it alright with the stock engine already.

I may try the LL, 4ML variant, but I'll have to save up for another light engine. I'll see if it's worth it, and if another mech works well with a LE325 so it doens't go to waste!

 

Well I was using the STD300 because it's the stock engine, and I didn't have enough money to optimise that.
This is what I'm currently running, and what I had my first 1K+ game with



Arguably, this is too much MRM ammo, but I was lacking slots for an extra DHS, and I had 1 ton left so... I never use it completely, but it allows me to spam it a lot, and even discourage the ennemies from advancing by "pre-firing" near corners.

I like the AMS, I think it allows me to tank for longer by removing some missiles.

I consider my MRM as my main weapon, so I usually tank with my right arm. This is also the arm with the larger shoulder plate, which covers the side torso a little bit - I don't know if it helps, but I think so.

The cheapest version of this build, from the stock version would be this :



When you first buy the Partisan, making this build is very cheap :
- add 3ML for 240K cbills
- add 1MRM for 700K
- add 6 DHS for 72k
- add 4 tons of MRM ammo for 24k

Total from stock config : 1 036 000 Cbills
There is 1.5 tons left, but no slots. Not optimal, but if money is the main issue, I think it works

 

You're welcome, I definately hope it helps some people!

I spent all my money buying a Cicada 3M, i'll probalby share a build for that soon.

 

@Excalibaard It has been a few days, and I managed to buy a Light Engine 340 for my Partisan to match your proposed build.

My god, this is such a beast now. That amount of armor running around at 73.4kph is just scarry.
The mobility really helps to get to the frontline and dish even more damage than before. I broke my previous damage record, partly because I was able to give chase to a Wolfhound, and flank half of the ennemy team in the streets of Solaris City, which was frankly ridiculous.

I'm toying with the idea of rebuilding my skill trees to include speedtweak, in order to chase mediums around more effectively.

 

Now I'm enjoying more this build...

 

You and I have very similar builds Excalibaard. The only real difference is that I have an L-AMS shoved into mine. I had room left for an extra DHS and a BAP with the remaining space all strapped to a LFE 345.



Interestingly enough, I made a second build without the AMS and found that, with Endo and full Ferro, you could still get 6 MLas and an MRM 40 strapped to a LFE 360 and still have max armor. So idk if you would be interested in said build below but, statistically its an improvement on the original build.

 

I get you, heatsinks are important as well. My builds tend to run hot so they won't be for everyone.

 

Finally found a build that works.
