Help with optimizing my PVP loadouts.

Oh, that's interesting.  How are you liking the EARSHOTs?

Yeah, I love ASHMEAD, but it's tricky to use against the meta stuff, for sure.  I have a bot that uses it that I adore, but I was fighting my boy's wheelchair tank that has akimbo ZIMMERMANs and SONGBIRDS...and I couldn't win a best of 3, even after several tries.

Earshots are definitely very fun, and satisfying to hit with. They deal tons of stagger and also tons of damage on direct hit. The long cooldown and VERY telegraphed firing stance are their main drawbacks, but the splash damage also means you don't have to be that accurate.

My best non-Zimmerman PVP results have actually been with Earshots, dual gats, and AP gouge:
 

This is my current Zimms loadout. It does do better than any of my other AC's by a fairly large margin, and it's also been useful for seeing how the game looks from Zimmerman POV.
