That's the point of NARC.

If I wanted to be a terrible person and give PGI more money, any opinions on which is the better buy right now between the marauder and warhammer? I mostly stick to ballistic and wub wub wub.

Marauder has a really high hardpoint with it's bigass gun, Warhammer probably has better hitboxes?

Marauder has really nice hitboxes as well. Anecdotally they feel like one of the toughest mechs to crack open when I'm in a Splatlas or Ghostdad

Pattonesque posted:Man they're so good. What are you using on them BJ3 I was using PPCs because of its silly quirks but I've now dumped them in favour of larges, may switch to ERL if we are stuck playing polar all weekend. BJ1DC w/ 2ML and 4 MPL The only reason I bought them is to elite the BJ1X because that robot actually is fun - the other two seem crippled by the small engine cap - you don't move fast enough and can't twist fast enough with a 235. Being in tier 2 and pubdropping in these things has been an utterly miserable experience, I think my team won twice in twenty games

I use an AC/5 and 6 MLs on the -DC. It's probably the weakest blackjack variant but it still does good work. The BJ-1 is my go-to for AC/2 based comedy

Skoll posted:Don't pug? Try to get things going with goon drops? I don't know what you want me to tell you. I recognize that most pubs are retards, coordination between strangers can be hard, one man generally isn't going to turn the tide of battle, etc etc etc but that doesn't mean that the opportunities aren't there. I bet if we ran a 12 man on Assault or skirmish on Polar with each lance having a role, we might actually dominate. I know that crosses into omg caring and tryhard territory, but it might actually be fun. i agree with this. It's open enough that pubby herding is more viable, since you can get to anywhere from anywhere.

I love both my Marauders and Warhammers. My favorites are the MAD-5D and the WHM-7S, just for pure brawling purposes alone. On a side note, I'm actually... Enjoying the new map a lot more now. Skoll makes a lot of good points. The map forces you to be aware of enemy movement and positioning. Stay low, keep your eyes peeled, sneak around and poke some asses. You can do this with any build.

He totally missed the reason it actually sucks, it takes 5 minutes most of the time before you even see the enemy, if it were smaller it would be fine but having to trudge across that gigantic map before you get to shoot anyone is just terrible. The map also making GBS threads on brawling builds is also bullshit. Maneuver strategy happens on every map, polar is garbage.

What in the gently caress do I do with the Wolverine 7D (the one with MASC)? Other than sell it? For the life of me, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to fit this stupid thing out without it being an inferior 6R or just bad. I guess I could sit on it until the February patch where MASC is supposed to be buffed, but it just seems useless right now.

The map also making GBS threads on brawling builds is also bullshit. Maneuver strategy happens on every map, polar is garbage. I didn't say all of his points were good. Just most. Though I agree that the map is way too loving big, I wouldn't scale it down too much. Because of how big it is, and how many shallow hills and trenches reside between red and blue spawn - it makes deciding against a flanking maneuver versus a spear point attack something of an option. What ruins the map is pubbies who decide to branch off with 2 or 3 other dudes and split the whole team up between trenches where they can be surrounded and beaten to a mangled mess. But that's really every map. I'm not here to make this into a white/gold, blue/black dress argument. I find the map, after a week of playing it across different builds to be fun. Other people may not have the same experience. That's cool too. High fives all around!

It just needs to be roughly 10-15% smaller, the openess of the map really enables flanks from multiple directions. As I play more of it I think I like it more, it maybe one of the least turtle friendly maps out there. Feels similar to tourmaline to me overall, instead of rock formations making you take longer routes around you've got hills that can be easily traversed instead.

S is better for raw damage, in fact nothing can out-brawl it one on one. D-DC is better for utility as it has almost as much damage but has ECM to make up for it, which is pretty solid.

The problem with the current ones is you can only fit one LB10-X, and they're all slung so low anyway that you can't really pop out of nowhere with them. But a robot straddling the medium/heavy divide in terms of agility that has two of them mounted high in the arms? I just want to pretend to contribute- poking with the large lasers- until the fight has ground out most of the armor on the field, and then justify the rad paintjob on that thing with two fast-firing internal-shredding boomsticks.

Pair up a DDC and an S for the best of both ghostdadding and dickpunching. Also you get to make silly mumble shittalk about having two dads. Truly the best of both worlds.
