Weapon Swap (or stow kit)

- 3 kits - Follow the Condi DPS rotation.
- If using mainhand Mace, follow the same rotation but do a full auto chain each time you would swap to Pistol.
- Mace/Pistol with 1 kit - follow the rotation above.

- Try to keep an eye on your mech, as it is a major source of
Alacrity thanks to . If it ends up more than 600 units from the stack, don't hesitate to use to force it to the correct location.
