Logan something and that G dude we see in the morning, whose name I cannot spell because I forgot it.

We had them in one drop and they were running PPC gauss builds and talking all sorts of poo poo, so the next drop we had them in, I decided to be a goon. :smug:

Other than 10 less tons and no jump jets and a higher visibility cockpit with higher mounts, what does the Ebon Jaguar do differently from the Timber Wolf? Maybe some more agility? I have fond memories of the Ebon from MW4 so I want to get it for that but my cbills are limited. :( I'm still working towards the Hellbringer thanks to MWII.

It's smaller (lower mostly), has less armor and I think more pod space.

Hm. Shame. I don't think that's enough for me to spend my slowly earned c-bills on it. :( Not right now, at least.

I loved the Cauldron Born in MW4: Mercenaries. It was a cool looking mech. Hellbringer will at least bring something a bit different to the table.

Don't let me put you off it. The Cauldron Born is a great mech still in MWO - you're just looking at the armor of a 65 tonner instead of a 75 tonner.

Right! Of course, but there are so many other fun and good mechs, some of which I also have nostalgia for, that can bring things to the table that I can't play with at the moment in MWO.

lol don't take a Hellbringer over a Ebon Jag, are you loving nuts?

Ebon Jag can do plenty. It's essentially a little bit lighter Timber but without JJs, that's not bad at all. If anything, being smaller gives you way less of a target profile. If you buy a Hellbringer, you're pretty much stuck forever as ECM laser vomit.

Yes, And I'm telling you you're dumb if you buy a Hellbringer over an Ebon Jag since you implied you're leaning that way.


But whatever, dude, your cbills. Take the more fragile mech that doesn't have Endo and can barely fit gently caress all.

My point was that the ebon jaguar is an awesome mech but does very similar things to the Timber, which I already own. I would like to spend my c bills in a way that covers as many gameplay/gimmick styles (and my personal nostalgia) as possible.

There is one fun build with a Hellbringer, a LB-20 and all the SPL's you can cram in with ECM to boot. Pull the TComp and put in a couple more heatsinks if it's too hot, but this is manageable on most maps.

12 SPL novas would be a hell of a thing

12 UAC/2 HBK-IICs would be better

You could always drop to just 1 SPL in the left arm, drop the TComp to a Mk I and then add a heatsink and another ton of ammo.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
The HBKIIC is really good at making GBS threads out damage and has really great poking fire points, but it dissolves like wet tissue paper if things look at it. If you guys want to focus on getting better at trading, doing standoff fighting, and concentrating fire on specific targets it is a really good mech. If you just want to run at people and swarm them it is really, really bad.
