    What it's not: Super DPS or Super Alpha
    What it is: a 75 ton 80kph Skirmisher

    I run it a bit like I used to the run the AWS-9M back in closed beta.
    Keep moving and use the arm lasers to strip armor while you leverage cover.
    As soon as a your target's torso is stripped or close to stripped, pop it with the AC10+PPC.
    It's simple, effective and I get more kills and less damage than I do with the 3LL+Gauss builds.

    4 tons of AC10 ammo would suit you better.

    I think that makes sense for a better pilot. For my average game 30 AC10 is just the right amount.

    I've been running something very similar (330XL instead of 340XL, and more ammo), and it is the only Protector build I can get to perform well in almost every single battle. 5 stars from me :)

    Let me poor my praise upon this build.

    I was skeptical at first; my mantra's always been "if it can fit an AC/20, it better fit an AC/20". The Cannon Dancer has changed my mind.

    The range that you can engage with this Mech is amazing. It's speed is incredible, and allows you to get into advantageous positions and rip open exposed rear or side torsos. It's has a 20 point blast that I link together that'll hit from some serious distance and really rock people.

    I've never played a skirmisher properly, I don't think, until I Played this. 75 tons moving at almost 81 KPH, with all the benefits of armor and armament, rocking face from long distance all over the map.

    This is the Protector for me.
