This build was last updated on August 14, 2025 and is up to date for the June 24, 2025 patch.

Overview

A power boon support build for Mechanist. Provides permanent Alacrity Alacrity and high uptimes of Fury Fury and Might Might.

Power Alacrity Mechanist has a simple rotation that affords a good amount of CC with little damage loss, and the mech allows you to maintain high damage and boon uptime even if you're forced to deal with mechanics.

The mace build provides some extra support through barrier generation and offers more accessible CC, while the rifle build is higher DPS and Might Might. As all its Alacrity Alacrity comes from the mech, the mechanist can be completely off-stack as required without dropping boons. Players with access to Secrets of the Obscure can use Sword or Hammer for higher damage at the cost of some utility.

Weapon Variants

  • Sword/Pistol is a small DPS gain for players that own Secrets of the Obscure, though as it is fully melee it may be lower damage in real encounters. You also lose ~10 stacks of Might Might generation.
    • Shield is a moderate DPS loss, but offers good CC and survivability, though Hammer provides similar benefits and does more damage.
    • Mace will provide significantly less DPS, though you will gain some barrier generation and easier CC.
    • Players that own Janthir Wilds can push the damage even further by taking Bomb Kit and Relic of Bloodstone.
  • Hammer offers frequent projectile reflect, an evade, and a block. The lightning field on Thunderclap will also result in some occasional Swiftness Swiftness for your subgroup.


Skill Variants

  • Throw Mine can replace Grenade Kit. This is a small DPS loss, and you lose access to ranged damage, but the rotation is simpler and you gain access to more CC and boon rip.
  • Bomb Kit should replace Grenade Kit if using Sword and Relic of Bloodstone.

General Tips

  • Thanks to Mechanical Genius, if you are over 360 units away from your mech when using F1-3 skills, their cooldown will be 50% longer. It is therefore vital to make sure you are within range before using them or you will cripple your boon uptimes.
  • You will need to use Crisis Zone to maintain Alacrity Alacrity, but it can be delayed slightly if the Aegis Aegis is needed.
  • Use Barrier Burst off cooldown. You can delay it by a second if it will coincide with Barrier Blast, as the internal cooldown of Mech Frame: Channeling Conduits would prevent the first tick from applying Alacrity Alacrity in this case.
  • Use your F1 ability off cooldown.
  • Use Overclock Signet off cooldown for damage, but hold on to it if the mech is in danger of dying, so that you can instantly revive it.
  • If you are using Barrier Signet, use it instead of Barrier Burst in the opener, then use Barrier Burst one second after the final pulse of Barrier Signet. Make sure never to have these two skills overlap - this is to avoid the internal cooldown from Mech Frame: Channeling Conduits.
  • Try to keep an eye on your mech, as it is a major source of Alacrity Alacrity thanks to Mech Core: Barrier Engine. If it ends up more than 600 units from the stack, don't hesitate to use Shift Signet to force it to the correct location.

Great alacrity DPS build that has become a standard of many raid comps, boon provision on DPS alacrity builds can be a bit sparse, and mechanist offers some of the best.
5 stars
Mordiko gave this build 5 stars • April 2022
Good damage, permanent boon uptime. The rotation is easy enough. The hardest part is managing your mech. Other than that it's a great build I've been using in Raids since release.
