Usage

This build is for taking 1v1s and roaming around the map, helping allies. This build has very low cleanse and resustain, try to avoid taking the team focus.

How to Play

Use Smoke Bomb to Stealth usimg skills: Conduit Surge & Devastator.

Keep your distance using Grenade Kit to deal extra damage close the gap with your target using Conduit Surge, Devastator & Shift Signet. Get to pumping extra damage through the use of Fire Bomb and Concussion Bomb and your Mech. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use Grenade Kit to keep applying pressure from range again. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap to widen it.

Burst

Your full burst would be:

Explosive Knuckle + Explosive Entrance + Electric Artillery -> Conduit Surge -> Sky Circus -> Devastator -> Pry Bar -> Glob Shot -> Acid Bomb -> Smack

Mix and match that burst as you see fit.

Extra

Sky Circus is a 5 second launch.

Roiling Skies with focus is a 3 second launch.

Overclock Signet(Jade Buster Cannon) can be used for an unblockable 10k burn, but make sure you don't use it when the mech is at risk of dying as you need the Overclock Signet cooldown to respawn the mech.

Overclock Signet(Crash Down) does 4x damage than the regular Crash Down. However it has 2 seconds of delay and casts on a random target within ~600 range. It also stunbreaks, this almost makes up for the fact that mech lost 3 core engi stunbreaks. :)

-|-
-| {{Skill|Tranquilizer Dart}} || Once an enemy is too far to catch or the gap isn't worth closing, use this skill to maintain damage pressure.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Glob Shot}} || This skill has a very strong niche usage for mechanist. When you and your mech are both stood within 600 range of the first hit target, glob shot will bounce between the two of you before returning to it's orginal target. This technique however is limited by RNG. With each extra enemy or ally target in the area the chance of this happening goes down by 50%.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Fumigate}} || Can be used to hit through walls and poison downed enemies.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} || This skill makes for a great burst finisher, use it to deal fast unblockable damage and escape pressure.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Super Elixir}} || This is your only resustain option besides heal. Use it as frequently as possible and also to cleanse. Gain {{tooltip|Light Aura}} with {{Skill|Conduit Surge}} to improve your chances in condi match ups.

-|-
-| {{Skill|Smack}} || Strongest melee auto-attack on engineer. Use this instead of the {{tooltip|Spear}} auto-attack. If you don't like the 3rd hit then mix the two auto-attack chains together into a 5 hit sequence.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Box of Nails}} || Always use this while running away. It doesn't seem impressive at first but this {{tooltip|cripple}} will help you build a gap when timed right.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Pry Bar}} || Good burst finisher especially after using {{Skill|Conduit Surge}}, {{Skill|Lightning Rod}} & {{Skill|Devastator}}.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Gear Shield}} || Your main defensive cooldown. Use when in a dangerous situation.
-|-
-| {{Skill|Magnet}} || This move still has a few tricks even with invisible magnet gone. Canceling the magnet has the animation presist, be sure to cancel magnet if you predict a dodge and they may still dodge the presisted animation. Also on {{Skill|Magnet}} start-up, use about-face > during it's channeling run away from the opponent > right before the skill triggers, use about-face again and pull the opponent, using those 2 tricks I increased my magnet success rate.
