[Meraple]

Incinerator where

[Zdragow]

You forgot Incinerator.

Incinerator, because of heat reduction and weapon spam.

[SoupyGoose]

I added the G2-assault and Incinerator.

Incinerator lets the tech heal pretty much indefinitely.

[Dew]

Incinerator edges out Brawler because of heat absorption.

The True OP Trifecta though is Tech on Flak Brawler with Incinerator support.

Tech on turreted Vanguard is pretty hard to beat.

[PhasmaFelis]

INFILTRATOR ALL THE WAY.

[BlueMelon987]

medic plus heavy= total destruction

I take rocketer

[Hijinks_The_Turtle]

Tech can be such a pimp.  He has all the heavies clinging to him... xD

[Granddaddypurp]

Remember the tech doesn't bring down the heat.... He just heals....

Well, that depends on the playstyle.

If you are a person who is good at PocketTech, that is ok. If you are a TeamTech, that is ok too. They both got upsides and downsides.

With a good tech, I tend to go ape ish and become the terminator juggernaut! Lol

Errrr... No, in a coordinated match, you pretty much have to be pocket healer. Reason being is that when you put a leash on your teammate, they expect you to follow them in a thick of a battle and more often than not, they rely on Tech's healing to sustain them, which is why the moment you leave them to heal up somebody else-they're done for.

Especially so for C classes, because of their huge hitboxes and slow speed, so they can't run away, unlike A classes. So yeah-once you put a leash on someone, you better stay with him for good... Or at least until you both go down. And yeah-C classes must have healer, because they can't run away in order to repair themselves somewhere out of sight. Which is why if there's a C class-staying with him takes priority.

Also, the best mechs to pair up with Tech are, in that order, Incinerator, Vanguard, Brawler, Sharpshooter, Scout.

G2 is in my opinion, It's DPS is great at close range, but it really takes a beating if there's more than two people around, and the tech can really keep it going. I don't play G2, but I've seen G2's with a tech rip through 3 or 4 mechs at a time with limited support...

[mccrorie]

Incinerator has a direct synergy that is pretty damn good right now.

[Nimbus_Prime]

the best Mech to pair with a tech:

The mech that currently has a low armor/health bar.

How can it not be a PPA incinerator_ Absolutely massive damage and infinite firing paired with infinite healing at a minimum of 35 armor per second and a max of 50_ (And jesus, I've had two pocket techs at once while playing incin, and you are basically an invincible beast versus any amount less than 5 other players.)

I'm guessing you aren't aware that the incinerator brings down the heat of other players and absorbs it as its own-(I didn't know how the incin. worked either until I got it)-which is a good thing for everyone because its secondary weapon basically fires pure heat, lowering the incinerators own heat. This allows for infinite fire, as your primary (and the PPA has pretty high damage, as well as a massive heat output) can fuel your secondary while your secondary "fuels" your primary. And then-massive health.

Yes. A good tech can support the whole team, but firstly, that requires a good team that doesn't spread out too far or make dumb decisions. Situationally, it can be very advantageous to buddy up with a single mech.  Rude and poorly thought comment is rude and poorly thought.

I like Tech + Incinerator (playing as either mech).

I can't say anything on the strategy/tactics that hasn't been better stated above
