This is sort of a follow-up post to my weapon groupings post, with a bit of a different topic so I felt it should be its own thread. In the previous...
So uh, last night I learned that AMS can get you killed. I got shot CT on my STK-5M that I had thrown AMS on just because, and took a critical hit....
[MEDIA] I like the 6xPPC (2 ER, 4 Regular) build, but I figured I'd give this a try. Less range, and I sacrificed speed for extra DHS, but it is...
I'm thinking of both the 5N and 3C with this post, although the 7M would work fairly well. What I'm looking for is a fast 2x15LRM boat with 3xML and...
[MEDIA] Essentially this is 2/3 of the brutal Ilya Muromets build. Two UACs and two medium lasers. To go AC/20, just swap out the engine and...
[MEDIA] Similar to Udii's 360XL build, it is actually a derivative of my Helix Cannon build for my Dragon 1N, which has since had SSRMs and a BAP...
[MEDIA] This would be a joke build if I didn't know MGs were getting buffed next patch. Basically this mech is a utility mech, it is relatively...
I've realized recently that most people ignore the Stalker's arms (not a very good shield, and the side torso is a much more prime target as it might...
Untamed has mentioned this in a few other threads, but I thought it interesting enough to start a thread here. What I want to talk about is weapon...
[MEDIA] While I won't get it til it goes on sale, this is what I'm thinking. Higher sustained DPS than any of the other Misery builds I've seen...
Tube Limits Apply Per-Weapon, not Per-Component For those who are not aware, missiles work by firing a large number of missiles at once,...
[MEDIA] This build requires decent time on target to make use of the UAC/5, but like a Pitbull if you can lock your jaws on the enemy, they are...
[MEDIA] The purpose of this build is to chew through CT armor on a pretty quick mech, with fire from SSRMs and Gauss. Alt Config A [MEDIA] My...
[MEDIA] This started from the 5xLL build, in which I already used a 275 STD with BAP. Designed to put maximum SSRMs onto the target. Possible...
[MEDIA] So when BAP buff hits, my 7M is going to be a streak boat, which opened up the 7M for SRM6 and ML. 340 XL makes it worth it over another...
With BAP updates coming online, it seems we'll see more builds (like my Dragon 1N, for example) making use of SSRMs. The only Mech I haven't...
I was just thinking that a lot of the builds I run now do not have AMS, because of the current state of LRMs. While this is not a big issue if I'm...
With the nature of this game, there are a lot of choices that aren't optimal, and there are a lot of choices that have pros and cons. There are some...
[MEDIA] Named after Summer Glau's character on Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, because she's hot, runs fast, and hits like a truck. The LLs...
A few guys in my unit noticed this a little bit ago, but in one of the recent patches is seems like the speeds have gone out of whack. Some mechs...
[size=3]Chassis Break-Down No, I’m not talking about what happens when your chassis breaks down. In that case it’s simple – eject. This is...
[MEDIA] As the author of the original Tenderizer build has not been on MWO in about 4 months, and will most likely not be updating his post with the...
The general idea of choosing a chassis is that light mechs go faster and big mechs hold more firepower. However, sometimes, with a similar build,...
[MEDIA] This is what I'm running on my Pretty Baby. Named Dragon Baby because it acts like a common Dragon build (Gauss in Right arm replaced by...
Since I'm at work, I can't play immediately upon patch completion. I'm relying on you guys to tell me how easy ballistics/PPCs are to use now.
I just made a quick reference sheet for myself, figured I could summarize it somewhat here. This basically takes your common engines with a dragon...
Countering Cheese Builds We here on mechspecs like to min/max our game. That’s why we’re here, right? Well, as with every game, there’s...
[MEDIA] I've used every ton and crit slot, although not every hard point (hard to use 2 ballistic slots on the same arm, or 2 ballistic slots on a...

When I first started playing this game, I thought Jump Jets only served two purposes: skipping over terrain hazards, and jumping on top of...
