Oh, you want horrifying dire wolf builds?

This is what our main guys use mostly:

5x UAC 5 with (I think) 4 ER Medium lasers
3x Gauss rifle with 7 ER medium lasers

Saw one get 1600 dmg yesterday.

That is evil! 700 something damage is not great but its the best i've done. ^ That is just wrong on so many awesome levels. haha.

I love UAC 5s so that build is really tempting.

I have not had much luck with Gauss yet. I've only been playing for almost 2 weeks now so there is still a lot for me to learn. But so far I am not liking Gauss or Streak missles.

I used to hate lasers but after I got my BJ-1x laser boat I started to like them. Then I did not like missles but got a Stormcrow D when they were on sale and love LRMS and SRMS. Maybe I need to make a Gauss boat next and I'll change my mind .

Triple Gauss makes my DDC cry, but the 5x UAC builds make me laugh when I stomp into view. Hilarious amount of dakka though.

My personal (effective) Dire Wolf builds have been:
4x CUAC5 + 4 ERML or ERMP and a Targetting computer.
Can't remember how much ammo it had... 15-20T at least.
I've never felt the build with 5 had quite enough ammo.

4x CLBX10 w/ 12T ammo, 3 ERML

My first and still favorite build is my Dakkaphract. It's got almost all its armour on the front, 4 AC/5s, a whole lot of ammo, and not much else. But I do so love stutter-firing them. I have it set up so that it's chain fire of each arm on each mouse key (so left arm, chainfire, on left mouse, right arm, chainfire, on right mouse).

Yeah, I used to love the Dakkaphract too.

But a Dual Gauss 3D with jumpjets just trumps it.

Also, more about quirks!!

Holy crap, the Pretty Baby might actually be worth taking now.

For your consideration - Spoiler Tags!

Simply place [Spoiler] at the start, and [/Spoiler] at the end of the text, and it'll condense it down to a spoilered box

I did a quick review of the Locust Quirks earlier, so here you go:

I just asked Russ how Quirk and module effects will be applied. He said both will be applied to the base value.

This means a Hugin's SRM 4's will be firing with a cooldown of 1,14 seconds with 365 range.

I was hoping for a Halloween special where we had some big monsters to fight as well as Mechs

Na. That would be brutal to program in. There is some kind of event though where you win prizes. no idea what it consists of though.

JEZUS CHRIST ON A STICK

NGNG just posted Quirk previews:

Beat me to it.
I want that Centurion D.
Goddamn

Dude, that awesome is in sick city.

I was going to wait to see if they gave me a third Centurion for free... but honestly, that's enough to make me buy one.

Wow this is going to be a game changer, too bad my trebs got snubbed, lrm buff doesn't help me any. I do like the 3F buffs energy cooldown and missile cooldown is going to make it a beasty once more.

Full list of perks here

Trebs all look to be Tier 3 to 4?
And to be fair, as with all of them - yes it'll get the biggest boost with that specific weapon, but it gets half the boost with any weapon of that type.

So your trebs will still improve a significant ammount.

Wow, thanks Ovion.

Holy crap, that Centurion - D though...I'm actually really happy with the Awesome changes, it's still a walking brick, but now you can make people pay for engaging you head on.

Over the weekend I managed to master out my BJ-3 and my BJ-1. I put the AC-2s on my 1 and that thing is fun! Been pulling an average of 300 damage a game and got 660 for my best so far. The fire rate is awesome with the quicks and cores slow assaults before they can run to cover.

With the level 5 ER large laser cooldown on my BJ-3 I am now getting 600-800 damage fairly often if I can get into a good position.

Now I need to start working on my Jagermech again. Need to buy the AA next and want that ECM Raven. Next couple days off are going to be spend credit farming in my Direwolve Prime and Atlas S.

I got myself the AS7-S and I can't get that thing to work, maybe I'm used to the ECM love my DDC gets but I swear, with the S I die quicker than my teammates nearly every fight.

What are you running on it?

Trying to get used to the new ECM / Beagle rules in my Raven ECM version - got killed a lot more than usual whilst covering the team!

Jungle map looks good and we are getting Lori's and Greyson's Mechs - awesome

I can't remember it's exact layout, (I am at work otherwise I would look it up for you) but I know it has a gauss with 3 tons of ammo and 4 SRM 4s. It works mostly okfor me.

Updated my thing.

Soon I get to light up the King Crab slot.
sooon

I either had a stroke or just can't play this game anymore. Every game I drop lately is shameful. Im not saying I was an epic player, but I was a good player, now Im dog turds.

I will retry when community bore comes out.

Now bought Lori's Pirates Bane - great fun and her husbands ShadowHawk - also my first Timber Wolf

Having some very good and very bad games lately - but mostly just fun

Pirates Bane has been good fun.
Locusty goodness, everything I wanted from a Locust Hero.

I've been finding I've generally been having pretty good games pugging (mixed with not very good games), but if I drop group lately I do exceptionally badly.

So, Awesome 8qs and 9ms, going to be buying 9 me of each in a bit, anyone had any time in them since the quirks?

Erm... eh?
Not sure which ones the QS, MS and ME are... sooo.. On paper now, Awesomes aren't that bad.
Play wise they've improved and are somewhat more common again, and don't just evaporate due to being barn doors now.

In regards to quirks:I have the 9M already, on my list currently is to get the 8R and 8Q, mostly because they're as different as possible.

I'd reccomend the 8R as one of them because it's a damn good missile boat.

I have the 9M already, on my list currently is to get the 8R and 8Q, mostly because they're as different as possible.

I'd reccomend the 8R as one of them because it's a damn good missile boat.

Jesus, I didn't know I'd typed that bad of a post on my phone, not doing that again.

But yeah, I mean the 8Q and the 9M (ppc and erppc boats respectively). I've seen more of them in combat but people still suck at piloting them in my bracket (down near the bottom) so I haven't had any reference to how good they can be.

Then yes, for your third, I reccomend the 8R.

It's significantly different to the 2 you have, keeping it interesting.
It also makes a pretty nasty LRM boat, with 4xLRM15s boasting a range of 1250M, and better heat + cooldown than normal.

It'll be the next one I get.
