SawzAll

I do not agree at all.  Savior resistance is only useful in the campaign and only with a monkey torso.  In the arena, you'd be better off putting a max'd iron plating on than a savior resistance.  Not only did this work out in WU when I tested it, it is what players higher in rank than I am recommend, and it has played out this way in the arena.  Besides, the EFA already has resistance.
Sure, maybe not another basalt dissolver.  I don't think the guy has another sorrow, though.
If you're going to go EFA, do not put a single energy module or energy-using item on the mech.  That's why EFA is useful.  I recommend against a supreme cannon because those draw energy.
It's to the point where if I see someone in the arena using EFA but with energy drawing weapons, I select my energy mech to fight against them, and I usually win (at rank 10).
So my advice is only use EFA if you're going to go "all the way" with the energy-free configuration.
Basalt Dissolver is better because it doesn't draw energy.  A heat bomb would make more sense than another supreme cannon: they also work without energy.

I was also thinking of triple basalt dissolver, then stomp would be a legit weapon😂 also, I have the L-M heat hook so that could be a useful weapon with opponent having low res.

I respectfully disagree.  You could do that tomorrow but energy-free physical would still be top META in this game.  No matter what, if there are enough weapons that are energy-free, energy can basically be ignored.
I point out that the CleverName jump mech (distance shredder + mercy) and the EFA heat hugger (dual sorrow or dual/triple magma) are still entirely energy free.  Nerfing modules wouldn't stop them.
Sorry to reply so many times, but this thought just came into my head while I was eating lunch.  The problem isn't modules, in my opinion, and I don't think nerfing the modules would fix it.  I think instead the solution is bigger than that, and that it would take time and a team of volunteer testers on a test-only SM server to figure out how to fix it, because it's a game-wide problem.  If two of the major META can ignore energy, buffing Windforge won't stop them.  Like, with all due respect, that's half the mechs in heat and physical META right now, roughly.
And coming from 20 years working on the F-117 and F-16, the digital systems in charge of firing weapons, tracking targets, and dropping weapons on target, I can tell you the reality is all weapons systems require energy.  Even bombs are dropped using a high power 28 volts through explosive squibs.
This part is my opinion: all items should cost energy, even if it's only 5 energy.  I think the few exceptions would be modules (obviously), grappling hooks (these could be spring loaded, in theory), maybe teleports (stored batteries inside them), and maybe charge engines (the ejection seats on military aircraft are self-contained).
I know that would require a touch more realism than the game currently has.  I also know that would sort of disturb my energy-free distance shredder: but I'm arguing for this because I think it will fix the problem, not because it will benefit me.  I think, with all due respect, as a general concept, those who have Windforge who are arguing that they want it buffed may not be completely objective because their proposal benefits them.  My proposal doesn't benefit me because it would nerf my distance shredder.
But I think if we're going to make energy mechs a valid thing, we would have to prevent other mechs from being able to basically totally ignore them.
My point wasn't to keep arguing against Windforge, it was to share the idea that I had.

Ima put all the builds I had in my original post as well as some others
*heat point can be used on these builds too, or backfire drone, but imo you don't have enough HP for backfire drone
refer to original post for the pros and cons on the builds above

pros
range 3-6 weapon
same stats as other builds
cons
dawnblaze isn't energy free
no charge

pros
actually a range 1 weapon
again, same stats as other builds
cons
Crimson rapture isn't energy free
no charge

At least I still got the mobile version.

It works fine here..... *Shrug*

This is a rant, but I'll try to be PC.
I don't understand why so many people are recording YouTube videos of SuperMechs these days.
It's one thing for top rankers to record: I like that.  I've subscribed to CleverName and I have watched his stuff.  Not a lot, but maybe an hour at most.
But I'm running into rank 12 who are recording this stuff.  First, it bothers me because people aren't asking "CAN I record you?"  They're just doing it and when you tell them you don't give them permission to record you, they tell you they're going to do it anyways.  What ever happened to asking people first?  What ever happened to people's freedom?
It's not the recording, it's the principle of the thing.
Second, with all due respect, there are thousands of videos on YT already.  I like stuff that's unique and different, but the same old thing thing?
I'm not disrespecting anyone who records.  I just don't understand it.  I don't record because quite frankly I'm rank 10 and I have nothing unique to offer.
If someone ASKED me if they can record, I'd most likely say yes.  But no one asks.
Anyways, I just don't get it.  Feel free to disagree with me.  And this was just a rant and an opinion: I'm just venting.  It's the principle of freedom and consent that bothers me mainly, but second, that most those videos are of the same old rank 25-12 rank matches which are a bit boring.

Say that all you want, but when they over-buff it, as seems to be their tendency, it will only nerf the other drones.  And it doesn't change what I said: buffing Windforge will not fix energy overnight.  Besides, damage to weight ratio isn't an invalid point: I'm using it to say Windforge is already good (just like Swoop was before it got buffed).  Now Swoop is over-buffed so it looks like, so far, what I said was correct.
Forgive my cynicism, but knowing our luck, it will do more drain than the premium drones when they over-buff it, which will only complicate the problem.
Feel free to disagree with me, but I voted no.

Yeah, I also think there is ridiculously large amount of SM YouTubers considering how small this game is compared to others, and the content I would agree is somewhat repetitive,  probably ironic for me to speak that way because I am also one of SM YouTubers, but I at least to try to make more unique or slightly different content simply by editing the crap out of it.
And actually you got a fair point regarding the principle and etiquette of other peoples consent regarding being recorded whilst unaware of that.

With all due respect, I still think this is a necessary thing, at least the heat version of last words.
This is why F2P heat mechs who want to use hammer have such a range 2 hole.
Magma recoiler can be substituted for a melee weapon but it's not going to do a great job helping you overheat your enemy.
Vote how you want, but please consider my words.

If you don't mind me asking, do you know of any items that are common that are worth pushing to divine?
(Anyone can answer that if they want to.)
Because for the life of me, I can't think of any item that starts as common that is worth upgrading all the way to divine.

True but sometimes people only need one pull, like if they are mainly 2-4 or 3-6 range.  I can see this being a non-premium F2P way to try to make a heat hugger.........

Please don't think I'm giving my opinion because I'm salty.
But my advice is no.  Unless you're doing something extremely fascinating or different.
There are already thousands of SM video channels.
Do what you want, but I would not do that, personally.

True . And you know what ? At the same time they broke in general the pure builds heat/en/phys. The rounders . 
Especially pure phys ( non free en ) felt it a lottt on the last balance .
But I think the game rn is on the limits ...on the good road .
The next balance changes should be VERY VERY specific .
On the coming balance I think the team should consentrate on pure builds ( rounders ) buff !
Thats where the team should be consentrate . To boost the rounders playing style .
Because as we all saw ...semi en free ....counters etc playing styles ruins the balances !!!

And you know what ? the en free items have their roots muuch earlier ! when heats were ruling the arena  before some years . I am 80% sure that it will be very difficult /imposible to really balance the 3 elements ! 
But lets see...

Nevermind back on the subject . No this drone doesnt need a buff .
What neeeds buff I think are the modules  ( the non L+ ones ) - en/heat capacities in someway .
But I am not sure 100% about it yet .

 

Because to do to wind forge what they did to swoop would nerf all other energy drones.
Wind forge is already the highest energy drone in terms of damage to weight. It's just that it is lightweight so it's stats don't look good.
But this isn't, in my opinion, how you would fix energy. They broke energy when they created so many energy free weapons. THAT'S what broke energy. And over-buffing one drone isn't going to fix energy overnight.
To fix the entire energy dimension will, in my opinion, require a complete overhaul of the game, and in ways few people would like or appreciate. Simply buffing a few things won't be enough in my opinion.
I'm not talking arena experience. I'm talking big picture game philosophy and concept. As someone with thirty years of game experience in several games, especially mech games, it's the bigger picture that needs work. Like I played (and own) the original battle tech board game, and all mechwarrior titles up until mechwarrior 4.
The problem is, however, buffs are too popular.

Yeah, I see.
If such a massive buff happens to windforge though, all the other energy drones might become obsolete because of such a massive drain and low cost, but that's what I think. Although I do support a buff for it. Idk, they could buff it first to 130 drain right now, and then buff it to 170 drain in the future if it isn't enough.

Iron boots, Nightmare, Sith.

Guess im too late but yeah

If you are using rolling beasts, keep annihalation

If you are using claw, switch annihalation with rock recoiler

Iron boots used to be worth worth divining as it was the only phys jumping legs, however now the massive stone feet exists which rendered iron boots useless. 
Nightmare might also be worth it, everyone seems to prefer windigo though. It has really good hp for such a lightweight torso but no one really needs the free weight nightmare gives, which I guess is why windigo is still much more used.
