Overview

Scrapper boon support build capable of providing good DPS along with 100% Quickness and high Superspeed uptime to five targets.

This build fills the role of quickness source for your subgroup, and it can generate ~60% Fury and up to 25 Might, as well as high uptime of Swiftness by blasting its lightning fields.

Impact Savant

allows it to tank without investing in extra survivability, maximising damage on encounters that would otherwise force the tank to gear more defensively.

Skill Bar

Hammer

Utility

Skill Variants

Function Gyro

,

Electro-whirl

,

Rocket Charge

,

Throw Mine

, and the occasional

Orbital Command Strike

from

Aim-Assisted Rocket

provide enough finishers to maintain Quickness without any boon duration.

Healing Turret

and

Blast Gyro

or

Shredder Gyro

provide some additional padding as well as some nice utility. This also allows you to use

Function Gyro

more reactively in case resses are needed.

Healing

Healing Turret

provides a handy extra combo field and blast finisher. However, you should have enough quickness to manage without it so it could be replaced with:

• A.E.D.
  for the damage reversal or CC. The toolbelt skill
  Static Shock
  is also a minimal DPS loss, making it a great filler skill and a net damage increase thanks to the combination of
  Speed of Synergy
  and
  Object in Motion
  .
• Medic Gyro
  for more Superspeed uptime or ~30% Protection from
  Reconstruction Field
  .

Utility

Throw Mine

and

Blast Gyro

provide ~30% Quickness uptime each, while

Grenade Kit

is your main way to trigger

Aim-Assisted Rocket

and thus provides ~15% Quickness uptime (whirl finishers can trigger it too).

Grenade Kit

is your highest DPS utility, followed by

Throw Mine

.

• For maximum damage, you can replace
  Blast Gyro
  with
  Shredder Gyro
  , though you lose ~5 stacks of Might generation.
• Bulwark Gyro
  could be used if the groups needs Stability, barrier or projectile defense. This is a significant DPS loss.
• Purge Gyro
  could also be taken for a potent condi cleanse, but with the same caveats as above.

Elite

• Sneak Gyro
  will provide Stealth to five targets, which can be very potent in the right situation. Avoid using it in general, however, as Stealth can interrupt players attacks and it interferes with deadeye rotations that rely on Stealthing only at the correct time.
• Charr can bring
  Artillery Barrage
  . It deals better damage than
  Elite Mortar Kit
  on shorter fights, especially if it can be pre-cast before the boss is vulnerable.

Specializations

Trait Variants

• Explosive Temper
  should be taken if you're not using
  Grenade Kit
  , as there won't be enough triggers of
  Aim-Assisted Rocket
  .
• Mass Momentum
  allows you to provide Stability to allies via
  Function Gyro
  , and would be less of a DPS loss than taking
  Bulwark Gyro
  .

Equipment Notes

• This setup requires no boon duration, relying entirely on
  Kinetic Accelerators
  . Even with just this you should easily overcap on Quickness.
• If you find yourself wanting more boon duration, you could do the following, in order of efficiency:
  • Switch one or more pieces to Diviner stats.
  • Switch the
    Superior Sigil of Impact
    for a
    Superior Sigil of Concentration
    .
  • Use food such as
    Soul Pastry
    (or ascended alternatives), or
    Potent Lucent Oil
    .
• The Dragon stats pieces are a tiny dps increase, so you can run full Berserker stats if you prefer.

Consumables

Food

• Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup
  or ascended versions

Utility

• Superior Sharpening Stone

Usage

• You generate Quickness by using a blast, leap or whirl finisher inside a combo field. Whirl finishers can only trigger
  Kinetic Accelerators
  every three seconds.
• Use
  Function Gyro
  ,
  Electro-whirl
  ,
  Blast Gyro
  and
  Throw Mine
  off cooldown for their finishers.
  • Rocket Charge
    is not needed to maintain Quickness, and it is a DPS loss if the long cast time makes you delay other skills. That said, it provides two leap finishers so can add significant padding to your boon uptime so is worth using when you have time - just make sure there is a combo field down.
  • If you have doubts about whether there will be a combo field, you can use
    Poison Gas Shell
    from
    Elite Mortar Kit
    .
  • Healing Turret
    ⇒
    Detonate Healing Turret
    can be used if there are any gaps in Quickness uptime.
• You have enough boon duration that you can slightly delay your blast skills if necessary. In particular you might want to use
  Function Gyro
  to revive someone, or delay
  Blast Gyro
  for a defiance bar. You shouldn't delay for too long though or your Quickness uptime will suffer!
• If tanking, the sustain from
  Impact Savant
  depends on attacking, so don't slack on your DPS.
• Hammer is an overloaded weapon in terms of utility:
  Electro-whirl
  reflects projectiles and provides a whirl finisher,
  Rocket Charge
  is a series of short evades and two leap finishers,
  Shock Shield
  is a channeled block, and
  Thunderclap
  is an AoE stun. Making the best use of all of them will greatly improve your effectiveness.
• Bypass Coating
  is a group stunbreak and provides Superspeed.

Damage

• Use
  Grenade Barrage
  ,
  Thunderclap
  and
  Shredder Gyro
  (if using) off cooldown.
• Most of your damage comes from
  Electro-whirl
  and
  Shrapnel Grenade
  . They have a very similar cooldown so you can "link" them together - every time you use
  Electro-whirl
  , jump into
  Grenade Kit
  and use
  Shrapnel Grenade
  , as well as
  Freeze Grenade
  and
  Poison Grenade
  if they are off cooldown.
• Most of the rest of the time you fill with hammer autos - make sure to finish the auto chains!

Example Opener

If possible, precast

Throw Mine

and

Mine Field

.

1. Blast Gyro
   - we cast this first so that we combo with the fire field for faster Might generation
   • Replace with
     Shredder Gyro
     , if using
2. Thunderclap
3. Detonate
   and
   Detonate Mine Field
   if you precast them - detonating the Mine Field can be delayed slightly if you know your target will gain Exposed
4. Function Gyro
5. Throw Mine
6. Electro-whirl
7. Grenade Kit
8. Shrapnel Grenade
9. Grenade Barrage
10. Mine Field
    if you did not precast it
11. Healing Turret
    (or other combo field) if you have doubts about your speed
12. Rocket Charge
