Specializations

Trait Variants

• If there are 2 or more condi DPS players in your subgroup, then Pinpoint Distribution should be a group DPS increase.
• It would be a minor DPS loss to take Mech Arms: High-Impact Drivers, and you would generate a decent amount of Might for doing so.

Gear Variants

• If the toughness from celestial stats causes problems, you can replace your gear with ritualist stats pieces instead.
• If you also want to be your subgroup's primary Might source, you can run Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy. Ensure you are running Mech Arms: High-Impact Drivers in this case.

Pistol Variant

Generating Alacrity with mace requires being able to hit the target consistently. If this is unrealistic, or you'd prefer a rotation closer to classic condi engineer, you can switch to Rune of Superior Rune of Leadership and bring double pistol instead.

Consumables

Food:

• or ascended versions.

Utility:

• • If you feel you need more boon duration, you can use instead.
