Overview
- Variant of Engineer - Power DPS. This build deals around 5% less DPS than its core Engineer counterpart. In exchange it bringing the strong defensive utility of
Function Gyro, 
Bulwark Gyro, and 
Defense Field.
- While Scrapper's damage is poor compared to dedicated DPS builds, and significantly worse than Holosmith - Power DPS in organized groups, this build can help struggling parties complete dungeons and fractals while still filling the role of a power DPS.

Usage
- You can click on a downed ally and use Function Gyro to revive them from range. You can combine this with your normal revive for extremely fast rezzes, or let your Gyro revive while you're doing something else.
- Rezzing an ally will grant
Superspeed and barrier to all nearby allies due to 
Decisive Renown. This can help your group recover from a near-wipe and quickly correct their positioning. - Use Bulwark Gyro whenever the party is in danger of taking damage.
- Time Defense Field to protect your party from projectiles or CC.
- Use
Sneak Gyro and 
Toss Elixir S (tool belt skill of 
Elixir S) to stealth the group. For longer duration skips you can blast stealth as described in the Engineer article.

Honestly, this isn't bad, I would recommend Hammer over Rifle as you gain increased damage with "Perfectly Weighted" and just gain more overall damage. I would also recommend the "Kinetic Stabilizers" for more damage as well. This build has great might generation because of the stability that is given by Bulwark Gyro's tool belt ability (Stability gives you Might every second of its duration with "Mass Momentum"). If you get a good rotation going for this build then you can do pretty decent damage and have good utility and support with Function Gyro, Medic Gyro (if you choose to use it over Healing Turret), Bulwark Gyro and even Mortar kit with the combo fields. It might not be as good as other support or damage builds, but it gives stacks of vulnerability, a reflect, and a block. If you want to be an 'inbetween' on the damage and support side, I'd choose this build, might not be very good in high level fractals, but good for casual fractal runs.
