Utility

There are 2 viable picks for the optional slot, both of them offer Stability on their toolbelt which is what the build needs most:

• Bulwark Gyro - very defensive and forgiving skill with good barrier, and Stability/anti-projectile on Defense Field. More forgiving than Elixir B as both the normal and the toolbelt skills are instant and can be used even while CC'd.

• Elixir B - has a cast time and less sustain vs direct damage but provides better uptime on your offensive boons from both the main skill and Toss Elixir B as well as Resolution which is great against conditions in a build that lacks frequent cleansing.

Elite

• Sneak Gyro - while the Stealth duration on this is extremely low, currently we recommend it because it's still a valuable escape tool. Without stealth you'll have a much harder time surviving outnumbered situations. Rocket Charge can increase the stealth duration.

• Elixir X - bit of a gamble as you have no control over which form you'll get, but both of them offer great mobility and CC at the very least. Rampage could also act as a finisher, allowing you to CC-chain low HP enemies to death.

• Supply Crate - ranged CC, combo field for stealth, bit of extra damage.

Runes

• Rune of Superior Rune of Durability - better sustain.

Sigils

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Celerity over Sigil of Superior Sigil of Energy - improves Quickness uptime considerably and the ICD lines up perfectly with Thunderclap.

Consumables

Food

• - passive strike damage mitigation and Celestial-like stats.

• - same stats as the Peppercorn version but this one reduces incoming condition duration. The build doesn't have great cleansing so this could make all the difference against certain specs.

• - defensive option with Explosive Entrance synergy due to more frequent dodging.
  • - budget version.
