Trying to build this. Works both as a sniper and not too bad at close range also. This actually works wonderfully, remmber to treat this like a medium and you would do well. PS: If you trust your team, definitely move the armor a bit more to the front. changed armor distribution. There is this speed build borrowed from Solahma's ideas. I think it is too hot though.
I was thinking about setting the CT at 62/18. The reason I don't do so is that I do PUG also. That means no telling some fast scouts sneaking behind you and give you a nice blast of LLas/PPC. The total armor value is what you go with. Feel free to redistribut. I prefer to skeme armor off heads, for example, while someone like to do so on legs. If I am in a team then I would definite up the front armor. I can spend more time at the second line with the PPC, and then engage without worrying about my back.
I was thinking about something similar, but i would have it a bit cooler. Two PPCs and 14 DHS is too few imo, for constant pressure. At least 16. How about dropping one PPC and replacing the other by an ERPPC for extreme Range?
Came up with a similar build - you just can't ignore the high mounted Left Torso for PPCs in today's game. AC5 is the biggest ballistic you can fit with the tonnage available, and then the necessary 2ML for last defense/extra damage. However, I crammed in an XL300, a little less armor on legs (and pushed way more armor to the front), and removed a ton of ammo for a build that works much better for me personally.
