MechWarrior: Online - Jester Released and Build Idea

I'm a tad late with this, but hey, better late than never right? Anyway, the Catapult HeroMech, Jester, has been released. As everyone expected, the Jester comes with Jump Jets, 6 Energy Hardpoints and 2 AMS. In addition, it has a very large engine capacity, making it super fast.

What's its weakness? The fact that it's Torso Twist is very restricted, matching that of a Thunderbolt or Dragon in terms of how far it can twist. Of course, this can be negated by Jump Jets.

I really cannot say much about this HeroMech to be honest. It really isn't outstanding. Maybe it's cos I'm waiting for the Misery and Dragon Slayer to go on sale... PGI did skip an Assault Mech sale last Month for some reason (only to be replaced by sub par Mechs on sale).

Why so serious?
