    Naw, go to a 2 or 2.5 skull planet and you'll be fighting opposing medium lances pretty regularly. It's really only at 3 skulls that they start spamming heavies at you.

    There's a lot of factors that contribute to energy weapons being ass. Small map size and low view distance are two of the biggest, but I can at least see why the maps are setup the way they are. Unless they doubled the maps in size they can't extend sensor/view range or you'd start almost every...

    Once you advance the story far enough you get enough double heatsinks to run exactly 1 laser hose if you want, but yea otherwise you pretty much can't ever use ppcs/large lasers unfortunately. It's honestly a pretty unfortunate period in the Battletech timeline technology-wise, at least from a...

    The laser/ballistic catapult sucks, mostly because the large energy weapons (ppc/large laser) suck. Without double heatsinks being available the stats on them just aren't worth the heat generation. If you're still fighting mostly other mediums a dual AC5 catapult might be of at least some value...

    Yea losing lostech is the only thing I save scum for. I dislike the entire premise of the lostech stuff being a one-shot injection of power with no avenue to seek more of it or replace any of it.

    I've only ever seen one but luck-sacked my way in to 3/3 salvage with a stray LRM headshot + knockdown + ammo explosion on a 3 health pilot. Haven't seen one since, but boy do I love this thing. Fits AC20 with quad jumps and your choice of medium lasers or SRMs for close range torso blasting.

    Never been able to find a use for thunderbolts so far. Cataphract just seems more useful as a jump AC20 platform, and there are better missile boat platforms than it.

    Yea I burn a ton of a time just refitting shit when I need to, or if I want one of my better pilots out of medical for a mission. Cash reserves have never been a problem so I don't see any issues with burning a couple months of upkeep to field a properly fitted/piloted lance rather than some...

    Difficulty is what you make it right now. Fielding a lance of fully custom kits vs stock kits is always going to be hilariously lopsided, which is why you're almost always playing vs a full lance + vehicles or a backup lance. Game is a lot harder, and in some ways more interesting, fielding...

    Yep, game runs like shit and takes ages to load. What are the % it gives you during the called shot dialogue? Is that your chance to hit that specific part only, or is that your hit chance in general? IE, what is the penalty for firing called shots?

    How is mech salvage determined? Do you always just get the 1/3rd of a chassis as a salvage item, or is it random how much you can take?

    The mana problems with MTG are definitely exacerbated by everything being a best of 1 format. I have no idea why they are pushing that so hard, but it fucking sucks. Best of 3 rounds with a sideboard goes a long, long way to evening out the draw RNG and such, and makes the mana system in magic...

    Lyras angel text doesn't matter, she's a 5/5 flying first strike lifelink is the important part.

    Well, the rest of her weapons do indeed suck yea, so maybe it's just relative. Spear is okay but has really piss poor armor pen and does almost nothing vs storms/cw. Glaive block+swing is such huge wave clear though and the heavy attack destroys armor, so really the rest of her weapons don't...

    Oh sack up, this needed to happen and you all know it. The M4 and to a lesser extend the SCAR obsoleted basically every other AR/SMG in the game with the exception of crate weapons. When the optimal non-crate loadout is M4+M4 with long range scope you know something is wrong.

    How many lands do you play? The way the Arena mulligan system works you want 22 lands if you're a fast/aggressive deck with a low curve, or 26 if you're a slower midrange/control deck that wants to cast 5-6 drops. Any other number is incorrect. Otherwise there is no answer in Standard really...

    Handmaiden with a spear and +2 stamina rolled on the spear and necklace is the ultimate tank for sure. The spears push attack + followup is insanely good and with her stamina regen you can basically spam it forever. You suck at chaos warriors though.

    Level 3 helmet needs to not exist at all imo, or kar98 needs to still oneshot through it. Restricting it to crate only will help, but it being literally a freeroll for a headshot is pretty garbage in general.

    Yea the more I mess around with Handmaiden the less I'm liking it. She's amazing at horde control with a spear+stamina talents and can reposition like crazy with her skill, but it not having knockdown for chaos warriors is such a kick in the pants. The spear also lacks damage vs armor/bosses...

    I don't think that is unique to the handmaiden. I've seen it happen playing BW as well.

    Is the damage reduction aura on foot knight really worth it? I find the handmaiden to just kind of be a better version of the foot knight. Stamina regen feels more useful than an extra shield, and being able to revive without any interruption can save runs sometimes. Her charge is the exact same...
