    Greetings all! First time posting a build here, so let's get to it!

    Took me awhile, but I finally settled on a 5S build that works for me AND is different than the 5M and Misery builds I also run. I present to you... THE LIGHTSABER!

    I like lasers. Lots of lasers. I also like missiles and ballistics - but for this 5S I wanted a light show. I wanted a big, hulking, stomping mech that brought nothing but pain in all its light show glory. So... This is what I came up with.

    Note: The key to running this mech is to setup the weapon grouping and firing rotation the following way:

    Group 1 - Large Lasers
    Group 2 - Medium Lasers
    Group 3 - Large Pulse Lasers

    That precise grouping and rotation allows you to:
    • Engage the enemy from distance with your Large Lasers
    • When you close, use the Large Pulse Lasers and Medium Lasers at the same distance
    • Avoid the heat penalty by cycling the medium lasers in between Large (Pulse) Laser rotations
    Runs pretty cool as long as you stick to the grouping/rotation noted above. Get out of that rotation and she'll overheat pretty quick. It also helps to have the chassis at Master level so you can use both the Cool Shot 6 and the Cool Shot 9 by 9 in the "heat" of the moment.

    Finally, the STD300 and full armor keep the durability and survivability at maximum level - while the dual AMS keeps you protected from the LRM rain.

    Feedback welcome, thanks for looking!
