Detailed Explanations

Stability

• Use
  Defense Field
  for ranged engages as the first applied Stability source
• After ranged engages are done, use it to cover downtime from the firebrand's
  "Stand Your Ground!"

Condition clear

• Fumigate
  and
  Cleansing Field
  are much more situational compared to
  Purge Gyro
  , deprioritize them in situations where
  Purge Gyro
  would be more effective
• Move slightly behind your group when casting
  Fumigate
  to maximize hits
• Be aware that
  Fumigate
  does not cleanse yourself
• Cleansing Field
  should be dropped when clashing with the opponent or preemptively before an enemy spike
• Use your Weapon Swap key immediately after casting
  Acid Bomb
  to cancel the leap backwards
• Your own fields have priority for combo finishers,
  Super Elixir
  and
  Purge Gyro
  can provide a light field for combo interactions

Expand Condition clear priority Fumigate Cleansing Field Purge Gyro Super Elixir Acid Bomb / Infusion Bomb - (light field, blast finisher) Bandage Self - Cleansing Synergy Electro-whirl - (light field, whirl finisher)

Healing

• Vital Burst
  and
  Bandage Self
  both proc
  Medical Dispersion Field
  even if you are at full HP
• Move slightly behind your group when casting
  Med Blaster
  to maximize hits
  • The range on
    Med Blaster
    is much higher than the animation indicates
• Use
  Bandage Blast
  next to downed allies when safe, hitting with all projectiles provides a lot of rez
• Your own fields have priority for combo finishers,
  Cleansing Field
  can provide a water field for combo interactions

Expand Healing priority Vital Burst Bandage Blast - in melee range, hard to use Med Blaster Bandage Self - Medical Dispersion Field Super Elixir Acid Bomb / Infusion Bomb - (water field, blast finisher)

Superspeed

• Most of your Superspeed will be generated passively while using your skills for healing and cleansing
• If your group is lacking Superspeed before a push
  Bandage Self
  is the most effective way to apply it

Expand Superspeed priority Bandage Self - Speed of Synergy Function Gyro - Gyroscopic Acceleration Bulwark Gyro - only when safe Purge Gyro Sneak Gyro

Supporting isolated allies

• Do not try to support isolated players if your group is under pressure or it would get you killed
• Superspeed is your first priority for getting players back to your group
  • Use
    Function Gyro
    if available to apply it from range
  • If
    Function Gyro
    is unavailable, move to the isolated player(s) and using
    Bandage Self
    is the other viable option
• Move to isolated player(s) and use
  Sneak Gyro
  to give Stealth, but be aware that you will need to blast other scrappers fields if your group is coordinating
  Sneak Gyro
  usage

Thunderclap

• Use your CC when:
  • Your group calls a spike:
    • Winds -
      Winds of Disenchantment
    • Wells -
      Well of Corruption
      +
      Well of Suffering
    • Shades -
      Desert Shroud
    • Traps -
      Procession of Blades
      +
      Test of Faith
  • On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)
  • Enemy groups moving defensively while your group is pushing

Poisoning downs

• Use
  Chemical Field
  when you can safely approach melee range with downs
• Use
  Fumigate
  only if your group is taking no pressure and you have other cleanse cooldowns avalible

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.
