And is the Bulwark a serious counter to the Shocktrain masses in Champs? The Aegis can be repaired while the physical still blocks the Shocktrain so if played right the Bulwark is somewhat impervious to shocktrains if played right.

I have a lot of respect for the Bulwark. At MR, with Dragoons, it's damn near unkillable if the pilot plays it well and stays grouped with friendlies. As a brawler, I'm not too sure. You have to time the shield switch pretty fast to be able to block energy weapons after your Aegis goes down - and it goes down pretty fast. Also, you have to remember that you're just as vulnerable to splash as the Lancelot at that point, and the ONLY protection you have is against energy weapons. If I were to ever get a Bulwark, I'd go either Dragoon or Avenger with more lean towards Dragoon. There's just too many fast bots in brawling range these days that you usually don't get more than a second of exposure from them.

I played one in Skirmish several weeks back and it was a blast, still got taken down by a Gust Pursuer though, so that's what I'm going after first in WS 2.0. I already have the Gusts, so I've been using two production slots to gather Avenger components. I was surprised how cheap they are and how fast they complete. I'll probably run them on an old Carnage until I get a Bulwark, just to get used to them, while maintaining an eye on my shield level.

Yes it is a serious counter to ST in champs. It’s not a brawler because it’s too slow and can be ambushed with orkans. I find it best at medium range and play mine with dragoons.

If you want to live a long time run Dragoons if you want to have some fun run Avengers. This has been my personal experience. As mentioned above you must use the shields to optimal advantage and play smart otherwise you are as dead as a lance.

I have a triple Dragoon Fury that needs leveled. The problem is not sure running a bot like a Fury is my style. Even a Natty seems better. I know I should have my second Avenger by late today and my third probably early the day after tomorrow. Definitely easy to get in WSP 2.0. I stocking up on those. The deal to be had in my opinion. Then again they are basically a Tempest.

Dragoons are still a better shocktrain counter.
