In the spirit of other 1,000+ clubs, I thought I'd start one for my current favorite mech. Post some of those glorious Griffin matches, you know you want to! https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net...7446643287773_4633803420710828561_o.jpg[/img] https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd....67464646619306_863012243893248401_o.jpg[/img] Pic of my Griffin: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd....1898854_730009463698158_354729496_o.jpg[/img] My brawler build: A lot of people like something with a bit more range I know but this works like a charm for me. I make the enemy engage me on my terms as much as possible and avoid ranged firefights. You can bet the jump jets are flaring most of the time as well.
Thanks, yeah it was a hell of a match. Wish i had recorded it. I'd say 700 is probably my average damage. Seems like I get quite a few matches around 800 or 900 damage. The max damage potential of the streaks if they all hit is 1000. some hit cover, some get shot down by AMS. So some below and everything above that is all laser work. The key is staying alive long enough to dish out all those streaks, that's where the speed, jump jets, almost full armor, AMS, and great heat efficiency come into play. Also my friend just built one with an xl335 and these things are nasty in pairs, although he wasn't playing in the game above. Another thing, If you can't get speed tweak I'd recommend running this build with an xl335, 92.8 is a little slow for my taste. Going around 100 kph seems to be the sweet spot for a medium mech imo: I run my weapons groups; medium lasers on one, chain fired streaks on two (for when things get hot haha), and streak alpha on four on a Logitech g600 mouse.
my initial reaction after seeing it was WAAAAAAA?????? -but I pulled off a 1k game with an lbx10/2xMPL YLW, so I can't talk.
Here is a screenshot of me and ThorsGorilla doing 850+ damage in a game with our Griffin 3m streak beasts. "Leer0y Jenkins" is my second main account. I was pretty close to that 1000 damage but not quite! If I ran this mech more I'm sure I would do it. Having too much fun with the Jager mech right now. Btw ThorsGorilla stole all of my kills in this game haha And again with the both of us having 900+ damage in a game. http://i60.tinypic.com/jhq9l3.jpg[/img]
Wow, 1K+ with the Griffin is legendary! It's very difficult imo, because it's a fragile Mech. The only chance is only if you go very speedy and avoid damage, or you go full Missile Support. My Highscore until now is 900+ only and that with a similar Build like the OP. (4x MPLas, 2x SSRM)
I took 4 SRM 4s, 2 Medium Lasers, put them on the 3M, and the rest was a blur. Wasn't too effective of a blur, though.
forgot to post this from my latest video.. wasn`t a good match (we lost), but at least could break 1K+
second modification of my LRM 'skirmisher' GRF-3M "long and far" They did not bring enough AMS, but the rest of my team did not bring enough brains for us to win.
Medium LRMs are the new meta! http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=128&l=0cefaee261130aed2daa4f330667375e4cf2c9e3
Ran up a 1k game in my 1S - the modified version of Aylek's Missile Mayhem. Great NARC pilot on our team, shut down their D-DC and let us blame it on the rain.
(Just look at that Orion-guy who did even better, wow) For lsml users: http, lsml. The build is exact, including armor values.
Nabbed one of these the other day, dropping in the Solo queue. A very satisfying game, if I do say so. I only JUST made it over 1000 damage too, and for the record I didn't use any strikes or coolshots. Here's a video of the match. It actually came down to the wire for the life of my 'Mech, as my health was running dry. Thankfully the last 'Mech was running Streaks instead of SRMs, as otherwise I likely would have died, and would probably not have made it past that 1k mark. With this build:
