Trait Variants

• If you have two or more condi DPS players in your subgroup, 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.

• If you also want to be your subgroup's primary Might source, you can run Rune of Superior Rune of Strength. Ensure you are running Mech Arms: High-Impact Drivers in this case.

Boon duration variants

The equipment above provides a generous amount of boon duration for two reasons:

• The internal cooldown on Mech Frame: Channeling Conduits can lead to lost Alacrity if your Barrier Blast syncs up with Mech Core: Barrier Engine.
• Crisis Zone is needed at the start of an encounter to provide a buffer of Alacrity, but it's useful to be able to keep it for negating certain attacks afterwards.
