Ratings
This build does more with less effort than any other build I know. Good damage, burst, survivability with no fuss, no muss.
Condition mechanist is easily Engineers strongest Solo open world spec currently. Whether you go trailblazers or celestial, you can maintain high stacks of might as well as well as high damage and a mech that can tank pretty much anything. Very capable of soloing legendary bounties.
I really liked this build. Enemies harm me. The only differences are: I use the "Superior Rune of the Revenant" and dual pistols. I believe it could be added to the description. Grateful!
