Mechanic Build - thoughts

[Vious]

Considering that the G series is considered not super awesome for male mechs, I decided to go all out with the land runners and bombs, focusing on large burst damage with time bombs and land runners, using raptor and tempester for additional damage along side sparrow factory for more zoning and good damage(as well as a sizeable explosion if necessary).

I haven't had any particular problems in pvp considering I'm decent at actually dodging by moving out of the way, is there anything you would do to improve the build overall? TY in advance.

I use punisher as my grab instead of BBQ because it's cheaper to obtain, and holds them to the floor so my land runners can get to them more easily.

Thanks again.

edit: I also really enjoy launcher as well, would that be better for both soloing and groups? I've had great success with mech being able to summon corona and run in for some uh-mazin' combos with bots even keeping things aerial seems somewhat easy as well.

It's not really necessary to level sparrow more than just 1 currently. You can use those points to either max tempester or 1 in tempester and 1 into silver bullet. Iono it's kinda fun to deviate from just robot spam and corona. And considering this is a magic class, silver bullet will do wonders.

Yea I've never used tempester, but seen him in action and would love to max him instead of factory, that sounds perfect. Also, I use an autogun, I don't see a point really in getting bullet enchants that will barely last a single attack chain. Hell, even on my spitfire i prefer using muskets over bowguns sheerly to get more bang per buck per bullet (say that ten times fast :P).

indom over magic crit

[Vious]

I already have a bit in m.crit, but why indom over m.crit? I mean, yea, I'm placing a lot of things and would get a good amount of invulnerability, but I'm never really that close to danger unless its my own fault.

[GrandMarshal]

Indom for the "lol pro pvp mech". Other than that, the build looks fine for PvE wise.

For comparing my mech and launcher experience, both mainly PvE, I actually played better on my launcher despite what people said about them :P. But then again, I play way faster than a typical one since I use a controller. Statistically though, mech would be better in solo and launcher is better in groups.

It's used as reassurance just in case you do fuck up. Because there will be times where that one Tempester or Mech Drop could've won you the game, but you knocked out of casting and juggled to death D:

I think i will grab indom. i'm not spending the money on a respec, so I'll just lose a level or two of ancient memory and ignore m.crit for indom. Sounds like a good plan to me Also, with controllers, you hotkey abilities to buttons? Or do you play it like a fighting game and use the button combos for casting?

Also, am I -really- screwing myself over by being a male mech? Other then the G-series infintite loop the F.Mechs get (which costs TONS of MP), is there anything I'm just really not seeing?

Male mechs are superior in PVP, FMechs PVE. That's just how it is.

As for hotkeying, I usually input the command for casting skills manually, and hotkey the other stuff.

[GrandMarshal]

You can do both. Best to manual skills that aren't usually spammed such as the G skills. TBH, DPS, according to PvE, pretty much goes to female for the ease of soloing. Then can definitely out damage males if they max time bomb. Males are not too bad, you can say that they are more utility and safe. It's based on preferences in the end though, either you prefer crazy zoning or long term DPS.
