Overview

Scrapper boon support build capable of providing good DPS along with 100% Quickness and Superspeed uptime to five targets.

This build fills the role of quickness source for your subgroup, and while it can generate some Protection with

Reconstruction Field

it offers no other boons. This means that unlike firebrand, it does not provide Fury to its subgroup, neither can it provide Aegis or pulls for adds.

Quickness Scrapper's real strength lies in

Impact Savant

, which allows it to tank without investing in extra survivability, maximising damage on encounters that would otherwise force the tank to gear more defensively. Further, the majority of its Quickness is applied in a 360 radius rather than the 240 radius of some chronomancer builds, or the cone of firebrand. This makes it more reliable in groups that stack poorly, but also means that it cannot fulfil kiting roles.

Skill Variants

Utility

• Bulwark Gyro
  could be used to replace either
  Grenade Kit
  or
  Shredder Gyro
  if the groups needs Stability or damage reduction. This is a significant DPS loss whichever skill is replaced;
  Grenade Kit
  is a bigger DPS loss, but will allow you to benefit from the extra Quickness generation if it is otherwise lacking. Be aware that
  Bulwark Gyro
  can rapidly down you if your teammates are taking too much damage.
• 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.

Equipment Notes

• This is only a suggested gear setup, intended to maximise boon duration and damage. If you find yourself wanting more or less boon duration, you can change the hammer to Template:Diviner and switch one or more of the armour pieces to Template:Berserker.
• You could also switch the
  Superior Sigil of Impact
  for a
  Superior Sigil of Concentration
  or use food such as
  Soul Pastry
  .
• In fractals, you might be able to get by in full Template:Berserker gear if you have the correct mastery and enough AR.

Consumables

Food:

• Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup

Utility:

• Superior Sharpening Stone

Usage

• Use
  Medic Gyro
  ,
  Shredder Gyro
  ,
  Function Gyro
  ,
  Blast Gyro
  and
  Bypass Coating
  off cooldown for Quickness.
• Use
  Reconstruction Field
  off cooldown for Protection.
• You have enough boon duration that you can very slightly delay your gyro skills if necessary. In particular you might want to use
  Function Gyro
  to revive someone, or delay
  Blast Gyro
  for a defiance bar or to avoid knocking adds away. You shouldn't delay for more than a few seconds 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,
  Rocket Charge
  is a series of short evades,
  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.

Damage

• Use
  Grenade Barrage
  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
  .
• Every third time you do this, you can also use
  Thunderclap
  .
• Most of the rest of the time you fill with hammer autos.
