Settings
- Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
- Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
- Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
- Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
Ratings
Can fill the cleanse slot of a Scrapper, but falls a bit short in the parameters relevant for public level play. Compared directly, aura utility is used much less than the stealth a Scrapper brings.
Great construction can be used as a scraper replacement when not available
