Misery "Wortkarg" (1xAC20, 1xSRM6, 5xML, STD300)

5/5,

1 rating

After using a lot of the posted Misery builds, I want to share my actual build with you.
It's my first post, so please tell me when I did sth. wrong.

The main idea is to have a good brawler mech. The difference to most of the other brawler builds is the missing of endo-steel and instead additional 2-4 dhs. My experience is that this helps a lot with the damage output in a brawl. The cost of this is simple: No long range weapons!
What I especially enjoy in this weapon configuration is the exact same cd time of all the weapons - so every 4 sec there is a possible alpha and that makes the weapons easier to manage.

Weapon groups:
1 - 4x arm MLas (for traversing light mechs and up/down fire where the torso can't hit)
2 - alpha (standard brawl attack)
3 - AC20 and SRM6 (if heat is too high for alpha this never overheats)

Advantages:
+ high sustained damage in a (longer) brawl
+ easy weapon management (cds are the same)
+ decent damage output if one torso is blown away (3 MLas + SRM6 OR AC20)

Disadvantages:
- no mid-long range weapons
- no AMS

If you want AMS I would suggest exchanging SRM6 to SRM4 and 1 SRM ammo with 1 AMS ammo.
The legs seem to be pretty underarmored by 41 but I never lost a leg in a Misery even with legs at 33. If you're not so lucky you can transfer some points from the arms to the legs if you like.

Tactics are pretty simple: Stay out of enemys los until you are at 400m distance. The build works well in areas with obstacles around so that you can play the "alpha and hide"-game. But if you see a lonely medium or heavy mech at close distance -> full throttle... in those situations I often lose only 10%-15% total armor.

So if you are not satisfied with the 100-200 long range damage of your (ER) LLasers and are bored of long range fights in general and have the patience to wait for the brawl situation just try it.

 

I've worked out a Misery build close to this. We've been calling it the DMNA Special I think it's too close to this one for it's own thread.

I like this build alot and use something very similar with Artemis on the SRM and one less heat sink. Pair it to fire with the AC20 and watch the lights crumple

 

Pulled this out of mothballs for the Pot of Gold event. I still got it
