Topic: Good Autocannon Platform? A Comparison and a ?
Do they exist? Outside of the Arkhe and Arkhe MK2 that is
(For this comparison, ignore racial weapons...yes yes, i know.)
Was looking at creating a combat character focused on autocannons, But came up....Short.
Assault and lower, Im tied between The Arbalest and the Baphomet. (Team green left out Because of lack of turret slots, obviously.)
The Arby has a higher base speed, a bonus to falloff and repper amount, but suffers from lower base reactor and armor.
The Baph Has a critical hit bonus, and a bonus to accum capacity, in addition to higher armor, higher base accumulator capacity, and base reactor.
Slot layouts are the same between the two otherwise.
I'm stuck between the two. While the Arbys higher top speed and bonus to falloff will allow me to get in close and apply more DPS, The Baph has a nice critical bonus and is simply sturdier to stay in the fight longer.
Mechs-
The Kain has the same bonuses as the Arby, But higher CPU and Speed over the Artemis. The Artemis Has a Higher Accumulator capacity, Tank Bonuses, Higher base armor and reactor, The Crit bonus, And trades 1 Missile slot for an extra head slot.
Hmech-
The Mesmer wins this one for the bonuses tab. With its (standard?) falloff and repper bonus, It beats out the Seth's Shield Absorption And Critical Bonus.
As far as Hmech comparison, As typical, The Mesmer has higher CPU, and base speed. but suffers in the base armor/accumulator capacity department. The Mesmer also is down 1 Head slot to the Seth, But has a Utility Chassis slot in its place.
I guess my question comes down to this. For a combat Character Focused on autos, What would you do, and your reasoning behind it?
Or have i just lost my mind and am setting myself up for failure.
