There really aren't any abilities good enough to justify not equipping AC or some sort of healing internal or extractor instead. Plus against a team of better players your kills are going to be much fewer and far between. Replenisher is win-more, not really worth it unless you're already doing well.

Disclaimer: I will admit the Repenisher is pretty damn useless in deathmatch & team deathmatch.

imo--Zerker would be a decent candidate, but it tends to benefit a lot more from running some sort of orblord build
Don't bother mentioning Orb Lording, I find it a dirty tactic done dirt cheap.

I had a massive text post written up with math for each of your given values and then i closed the wrong tab. I refuse to redo it, so here's the tl;dr
- Berserker: It's good, but you're sacrificing badly needed fuel and HP.
- Technician: Probably the best option. While you're only getting assists, you should be getting assists at a rate nearly equal to your team's kill rate. At 12.5% cooldown reduction I seem to remember a 50 second cooldown after 3 assists instead of 75. With the other lackluster options for a tech due to its niche, replenisher is pretty damn good.
- Grenadier: Similar to Berserker, it is good, but not great. In this case, there are strictly more options for the Grenadier (failsafe omfg) but it is less reliant on orblord options.
- Infiltrator: No. God no. 2/3 of infil builds benefit more from an air compressor and your ability is of questionable use to begin with. God no.
- Assault: See previous, except no need for AC. There's no need for your goddamn ability if you're a half-ways decent pilot.
- Predator: Um, what? It's a 14 second cooldown. Your gains are minute. No good reason to put it on here.
- Bruiser: See previous and your ability synergizes better with deflectors. Not even worth it for trolling, given how fuzzy bunny the ability is.

Dude, chill out and grab a Snickers^TM, its not like I equip the replenisher ALL the time.
1. I'm not skilled enough with A classes to make good use of that extra HP and fuel, I find myself having to hit harder first or die first.
2. Yeah "no duh" I guess
3. I do use failsafe, but I'm not a proactive Grenadier. I prefer to sit back, behind something/someone and carpet bomb people, I only fight head on if I have to.
4. It works for me, but I know your points are valid though.
5. The assault is versatile enough to not need any particular internal to do well. The replenisher is only there for freak incidents where for some reason I must stand my ground with overheating weapons and the ability is on cool down.
6. I know its not that useful, but reducing exposure time has helped me a number of times where another mech was about to come around the corner after a successful ambush and I'd rather not risk another fight.
7. The bruiser's my fun machine, lemme have fun, stop sippin' dat hateorade >:[ , it's bad for you.
Sry bout u losin ur wall of text that u've written up, I also lost the entire main post ^ and had to retype it when i went back to a previous page accidentally lol.
PSA: Next time you're about to write a wall of text, open notepad, MS Word or something.

OT: It's awful. Healing internals / air comp are far more versatile in the current meta.

I use the Replenisher on my Tech, the green beam becomes so useful so many times, and the assist count with techs are unbelievable. So, needless to say why I chose to use a tech with the Replenisher. I only wish that it did not cost so much space though. :/
#15
Posted 20 May 2015 - 03:48 PM
I use replenisher on my Tech and Grenadier, and that's it. I've nothing against the skill, but most of the other mechs I use don't need it.

I haven't seen anyone mention Raider, though I may just be blind. A Raider will kill most reliably when Blitz is up, having Blitz up more often = more kills.
THE PROBLEM: The kills and assists you get while Blitz is active do not apply towards reducing the subsequent cooldown, because the cooldown hasn't begun yet. This leaves you being the most thirsty person on the team, taking any 1% assists and kills you can get to knock down Blitz's ridiculous cooldown.
Due to Raider's nature, prolonged orb 'orring in combat doesn't strictly complement its ability (get in, melt face, get out), although this doesn't mean you can't suck orbs and just use Blitz less often/defensively. However, unlike a lot of orb lord builds, there's no way you should go ARK/2slotExtractor. Proper deflectors are absolutely freaking mandatory on Raider. 20% damage reduction the entire time you are using blitz, boosting and continuing to shoot at people.
I'd say Raider is one of the best candidates to use replenisher, but it's still far from a lock, even partially orb lording is gonna be powerful as hell if you can get on two orbs.

I love replenisher but it sucks for a 3-slot. I hope we get more internal variety soon.
Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?

tech ss are the premier replen users. there's an argument for it on infil and raider as well, but i'm personally not a fan there.

I use replenisher on my SS, it's useful. Make sure you try to get as many assists as possible and don't just ks with it.

Replenisher goes well with zerker, Raider, Tech. If you play the big MAYHEM servers, replenisher zerker is EZ mode. Raider do more raidin with replenisher.

I use replenisher for my Sharpshooter as well, imo it's the best for SS since you get to use powershot more often than usual. You should give it a try, you wont regret it.

My past Tech build included AC and Replenisher.
I ditched the Replen, though. Deflectors and Basic Fuel Converter just seemed more useful in most situations.

- It's absolutely mass murder when you're on a roll
- Play revolves around the ability and the internal
- Unconventional play such as waiting for the ability running out before finishing an opponent or going for as many assists you can get become more common, see above
- "Killsteals" and items running out become more aggravating because the difference is huge vs. a playstyle that doesn't care about kills/assists or staying alive as long as possible.

Deflectors, Air-180, EMP-2 and Shield-2 are staples. It leaves 3 slots to experiment with but I usually roll with Failsafe (especially with EOC) and the basic fuel converter there for better mobility, and flexibility in close quarters.
As for the "scene" (pubs), it's mostly an unbalanced mess of remote-deto hitscan orblord aircompressor and techs deathballing with a few odd flankers.

I did have an Assault with the replenisher equipped once. Its fun when you have a tech, I just stood there with a Point-D shooting everyone and I managed to use my ability twice in the same fire fight. It was fun to use for a while and then I moved on to AC and liked the options it provides better.

Without the ability, raider is a very weak mech. Use the replenisher.
