My love has turned to passionate hatred for the JH - it's nothing more than a Sweeper with a larger clip and insta-gib switch. Big deal. So I'm in search of some alternatives for getting down and dirty. I'm currently BR18, and these are my options.

- Rexo w/ JH (I've got now)
- Agile w/ JH and the Sparrowcan
- Rexo w/ Sweeper and the Sparrowcan (this seems most well rounded)
- Agile w/ Sweeper and the Sparrowcan and 3 cert points to use

Here are my other certs to give you an idea

- Med Assault
- Engie
- Medic
- AV (which I might replace for SA)
- Assault Support (lightning)
- AMS (once I hit BR20)

Suggestions? Would love some.

I'm in a similar delima with the MCG, (starting to use it less and less, and being 4 points, thinking of getting rid of it). The only thing I can say is just try out all four.

By sparrowcan you mean Phoenix?

No, I meant the AI max (Sparrowcannon). That is what it's called right :o

I think he means Scattercannon (AI MAX).

Personally, I've always liked the sweeper when I do have MA. Since you have AV or SA, I'd say Rexo is a must in those situations. Although if I were in your boots I'd get either the Thundy or the Van cert, but it seems like you're trying more for self contained certs. But man, the Thundy is fun.

ahhhhh, I feel stupid :doh: yeah, I thought he meant carrying BOTH at the same time, not just having the certs.

as far as I'm concerned for an MA weapon for the NC the gauss owns yeah yeah the COF blooms kinda quickly but with a little practice it's not that hard to use

What's your Sturm forum name, TeeTee?

I'd try the "Rexo w/ Sweeper and the Sparrowcan", as you get decent AA abilities and good indoor fighting capacity. Sweeper is excellent indoors for those of us that don't cert in HA.

I rather like the Punisher and plasma, but when I need inventory for other stuff, I use Sweeper or Guass. I only use the Jack long enough to see why ppl complain about it...other than the double clip, long ass reload, worse range, and the secondary, its just a sweeper.

I was previously Sturm, about a good 9 months ago or so. Haven't had contact since, and only started up again this week. I'll be updating my profile asap. How's Sturm doing? Still holding strong with the digits I see.

And yeah, I'm going rexo/sweeper and Scatter. Gives me an extra cert point to use on... nothing :mad:

Gauss for the win in any situation, for the most part thoguth the sweeper has it's uses, Rexo is a must with any MA weapon, Pshield helps to, with MA and Rexo and shield i can get most HA users i come across except at Point blank(unless they are wereing agile the die i'm hurt a bit) thogut having Engy and a bunch of med buddies is very important too.

RExo/sweeper/sparrow, then get the next BR and trade the sparrow for AV, Spec assault, or something like that.

I recommend not getting the max certs unless you plan on being a more devoted max user

I wouldnt say that. sparrow is an excellent way to use 2 cert points until you get to the next Battle rank to get something better.

Actually, I meant to say the SCATTERCANNON. My mistake. By BR19 I expect my final setup to be

- Medium Ass.
- Special Ass.
- Rexo
- Scattercannon MAX
- Medical
- Engineering
- Ground Support (AMS)
- Light Scout OR Ground Assault

I love Special Assault. I would recommend Rexo/Sweeper/Special Assault. It's a great combo except now I use Rexo/MCG/Special Assault/Dual Cycler.
