Right now, I have 2 of them: The Jester and the Griffin 1N.
Jester
Suffers by the presence of energy only weapons, huge frame and only 2 JJ's. Quirks didn't help since LL is not so strong. I have tried many combinations (ML, MPL, LPL, PPC, you name it) and nothing seems to revive this mech. I do way less damage, get less kills and die more often than most of my mechs (including lights, on which I am a poor pilot). Any builds that work for you (if anything does)?
Griffin 1N
Different case here. I run it with 3 x SRM6+Artemis, 3 ML, JJ and an XL engine. The problem I face is that all weapons are located on the right side torso and arm. Since this is a brawler, I need to go close to the enemy. Enemies simply need to go for right side of the mech in general (no real need to aim) and the mech is made useless really fast. I doubt there is any workaround that, apart from running it with LRM 's. Any thoughts?
