Overview

A healing Scrapper build for raids, this build brings extremely high healing and strong defensive utility, including a ranged resurrect with

Function Gyro

.

This build is capable of providing permanent uptimes of Protection and Might. It can also generate 100% Quickness uptime to its subgroup, though doing so requires using skills that provide blast and leap finishers off cooldown, reducing your ability to use those abilities reactively. Swiftness is provided by

Glob Shot

(elixir gun) and blasting your lightning fields, and it also offers permanent Superspeed, which is quite valuable on encounters with high movement, and also to DPS Scrappers.

Skill Bar

Short Bow

Utility

Weapon Variants

• It is worth having Mace/Shield on the second weapon set as it has a few benefits despite the lower healing:
  • Skills 3-5 provide more CC than Short Bow can offer, as well as having a knockback.
  • Magnetic Shield
    is a projectile reflect.
  • Static Shield
    is very useful if tanking.
• For players that do not own Secrets of the Obscure, offhand Shield is too important to drop, and the only core mainhand weapon Scrapper has is Pistol.

Skill Variants

Utility

Any of the utility skills can be swapped out if needed, just be aware of what you're losing:

• Bulwark Gyro
  provides some barrier and a lightning field, and the toolbelt skill provides Stability.
• Elixir Gun
  provides a range of utility - Swiftness, Regeneration, condi cleanse, a blast finisher and healing.
• Blast Gyro
  gives extra Might as well as a blast finisher.

Replacement options:

• Purge Gyro
  - for condition-heavy fights like Slothasor.
• Elixir B
  - AoE stability and a variety of possible boons from the tool belt skill.
• Elixir R
  - ranged resurrect from the tool belt skill.
• Flamethrower
  - provides a blind and a knockback.
• Tool Kit
  - provides a block, useful if tanking.
• Personal Battering Ram
  - more CC.
• If you take
  Experimental Turrets
  you are able to provide an additional boon to your subgroup:
  • Thumper Turret
    - provides 3 blast finishers, and pulses Protection. The blast finishers will also make maintaining Quickness significantly easier.
  • Rifle Turret
    - pulses Fury.
  • Flame Turret
    - pulses Might to your subgroup if traited.

Equipment Variants

• Relic of the Flock
  is the best option for players that do not own Secrets of the Obscure.
• If you need to tank or can afford to bring extra toughness, you can swap the Magi stats pieces for Cleric stats. This will provide a little more boon duration thanks to
  Kinetic Accelerators
  .
• The setup above is designed to reach 100% boon duration if you have Cleric stats pieces and +100 concentration food. As such, you can take a few more Harrier stats pieces if you won't have these.

Usage

Quickness

Use

Infusion Bomb

,

Acid Bomb

,

Blast Gyro

,

Function Gyro

and the weapon skills listed below in combo fields for Quickness. You have a decent amount of overcap, so you can afford to delay or skip these skills if necessary.

• Acid Bomb
  in particular is dangerous as it launches you backwards. This can be prevented by quickly weapon swapping mid-air.
• Function Gyro
  and
  Blast Gyro
  provide their own combo fields.
• If you have any doubt about whether there is a combo field down, all
  Elite Mortar Kit
  skills except
  Mortar Shot
  provide them.

Short Bow

• Essence of Animated Sand
• Essence of Borrowed Time

Short Bow also comes with two combo fields:

• Essence of Living Shadows
• Essence of Liquid Wrath

Mace/Shield

• Energizing Slam
  • Energizing Slam
    will make you leap forward and cannot be cancelled, so keep that in mind before using it.
• Magnetic Shield
  ⇒
  Magnetic Inversion
  ,

Healing

• Med Kit
  is your bread and butter. Spam
  Med Blaster
  to keep people topped off, using
  Bandage Blast
  ,
  Vital Burst
  , and
  Bandage Self
  for burst healing.
  • Being in
    Med Kit
    increases the healing effectiveness of all your skills, not just your
    Med Kit
    skills.
• Essence of Living Shadows
  (Short Bow),
  Elixir Shell
  (in
  Elite Mortar Kit
  ) and
  Super Elixir
  (in
  Elixir Gun
  ) are additional healing skills you can use.
• Use
  Healing Mist
  and
  Infusion Bomb
  off cooldown to keep up regeneration.
• If using
  Relic of Karakosa
  , any successful blast finisher will heal.
• This build has many blast finishers, including
  Blast Gyro
  ,
  Infusion Bomb
  ,
  Acid Bomb
  , and
  Magnetic Inversion
  . Blast the water field from
  Cleansing Field
  or
  Elixir Shell
  for ~2000 instant healing per blast. Blast
  Flash Shell
  or
  Super Elixir
  to cleanse conditions.
• Use
  Cleansing Field
  ,
  Fumigate
  , or
  Super Elixir
  for condition cleanse. For more condition-heavy fights you can consider bringing
  Purge Gyro
  and
  Purity of Purpose
  .

Mitigation

• Bulwark Gyro
  pulses barrier over a few seconds, making it especially effective if you know a large amount of damage is incoming.
• Essence of Animated Sand
  also provides barrier.
• Essence of Liquid Wrath
  on Short Bow and your Shield skills grant Protection, as do
  Bandage Self
  and your
  Function Gyro
  . This is easily sufficient to maintain Protection.
• If Stability is needed, use
  Defense Field
  . If more is required,
  Mass Momentum
  allows your
  Function Gyro
  to provide Stability as well.
• You can use
  Defense Field
  to destroy projectiles. If you have
  Experimental Turrets
  your turrets will also spawn with reflective shields, but be careful of accidentally reflecting shards on Cairn or Matthias.

Miscellaneous

• If people are going down, you can revive them from range with
  Function Gyro
  or
  Toss Elixir R
  . You can combine this with your normal revive to pick people up quickly.
