72 km/h on a brawling assault... Not bad IMHO. The alfa strike is not exceptional and you have slightly worse DPS (both max and sustained) compared to other ballistic builds, like the "Better scorch" (2xcLBX20, 4xSRM6+A), BUT you have better pinpoint damage and this is the main point of this build. Pin point the most critical locations (most weapons and/or already cored) and focus your MPL fire. Once in SRM range, use them. Just remember that you are likely going to overheat, so be sure that you are cool or that you can use a coolshot before brawling. P.S.: "Wut wut" because it is a strange build and is along the lines of a hybrid "wub wub" Thanks to @Shock for this slower version but cooler and jumpier version.
Wow, not bad. I dislike the XL400 for being very inefficient, but with 0 slots left you can't do much about it, eh?
To be fair I can't tell you if I first decided to go for a XL400 and then find out what I could fir for a brawler or when fitting the weapons I found out that the XL400 was the best engine to use for this loadout... Anyway, this probably isn't even a very good build, but I think that you will be able to chase heavies and murder them since you can tank a hell lot more than them.
Actually, saw this thread after I decided to try similar, but I'm keeping the stock engine because cheapness. I'm more for using this as a violent poptart since the MPLs have a decent duration as far as clan lasers go, hence the 4 JJs.
