So, I've been experimenting with my brawler, as i don't feel like orblording anymore. I've found some stuff i like, some stuff i don't, and I'm not too sure where to go with it. I play Brawler sort of passive-aggressive, kind of like a g2 Raider that doesn't have Blitz, so if there is anything that would cater to that, I'm all ears. My current loadout is an Armor fuser, Repair Kit, Basic Extractor and Basic Reconstructor. I plan to keep my Items with mk 2 Shield and mk 2 Repair Charge, but those can change if you guys and girls out there have any interesting ideas.

Inside of the brawler are 6 mini brawlers doing brawlery brawler brawlings... This comp has a variety of advantages that include I don't even know what I'm saying lol ...

Shields tend to attract EMPs; I wouldn't reccommend using them for that reason alone.

 

This build works on most classes including Brawler, no cheese Internals:

- 3x Orb, 1x EMP/Blockade

- Advanced Armor Fusor, Deflectors, Basic Fuel Converter

 

Going 2/2 with items is probably better when both teams are coordinated, but that doesn't really happen in pubs.

if u feel slow just replace deflecor with evation device and 1 slot deflector

My fav brawler setup is:

 

Advanced armor fusor + deflectors + basic anything (fuel converter, extractor, whatever really).

 

2x mk2 turrets for assists to keep armor fusor buff up as much as possible.

If you want to avoid orblord entirely (no form of repair kit or extractor at all) then Adv. armor fusor and composite armor are both highly recommended. Remaining two slots are up to you, really. Brawler has a massive fuel tank already so I never personally feel like fuel converter is necessary on it, but something like deflectors or a pair of 1-slot internals would work fine.

this post will likely be overly informative, so take and choose from it what you will.

 

pubs:

 

1 emp/3 orb

fusor 2/repair kit 2/extractor 2

 

this will give you the most mileage in pubs, whether you enjoy the orblord meta or not. if you would rather go for more of a competitive, lordless build on principle, i'd suggest considering:

 

fusor 3 with a mix of deflectors, fuel, and composite armor. composite armor is basically mandatory in competitive play; but quite a bit less necessary in pub play, excepting very close games. fuel is increasingly good the more well coordinated your team is in comp, but marginally less important for pub play. deflectors are general good stuff, but typically nothing game breaking.

 

so a comp brawler might look something like:

 

fusor 3/fuel 2/composite armor or

 

fusor 3/fuel 1/deflectors 1/composite armor.

 

generally speaking, 2 emp/2 orb for flak. hawkins can go 1/3 favoring orbs, except on linear maps like wreckage/origin where the emp matters.

 

i've also experimented with this build:

 

reconstructor 3/fusor 2/composite armor

 

it's a very solid build in smaller scale games (3v3 inhouses, for instance), and hit-or-miss in larger objective games with the idea being that you can rotate in and out quickly with other classes and minimize downtime. the recon will also kick in while you're repairing at very low hps to get you back to full faster. the thing to note about this build (relative to comp play) is that oftentimes there is no opportunity to wait 10 full seconds to let it proc. so, when it's good, it's great, and when it's not good, it's doing nothing.

 

presuming that you both strictly play pubs, and that you also insist on not lording, i'd advise you to aim along the lines of:

 

fusor 3/deflectors 2/fuel 1

 

if you have any interest in competitive play, the north american tpg league is currently between seasons. you can likely find some people willing to tell you more in either the hawken teamspeak (ts5.gameservers.com:9152) or the irc chat.

Funny story is, when I was in a Team Deathmatch match last night, I was EMP'd 13 times in 10 minutes. There were three zerkers on the other team that had mk 3 Emp's and just loved throwing them at my shields when I stayed inside, popping their abilities, and mowing me down while I couldn't fight back.

Change tactics and/or mechs.  They're doing it specifically because you're showing you depend on shield.
