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.

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.
• 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 Sigil of Superior Sigil of Impact for a Sigil of Superior Sigil of Concentration.
  • Use food such as (or ascended alternatives), or .
• The Dragon stats pieces are a tiny dps increase, so you can run full Berserker stats if you prefer.

Utility

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 (engineer) 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
