A full DPS variant of Scrapper - Quickness Support Power DPS that abandons its group quickness generation for increased personal damage. Doesn't deal enough damage to be competitive with other meta DPS builds but is extremely durable thanks to the continuous stream of barrier provided by Impact Savant.

Skill Variants

Utility

• Bulwark Gyro could be used to replace either Rifle Turret if the groups needs Stability or damage reduction. 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.

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.

General Tips

• The general goal of the rotation is to keep all the skills used in the opening + Function Gyro and Poison Gas Shell on cooldown, then fill downtime with auto-attack chains.
• Surprise Shot should be cast as soon as it becomes available. It has no cast time so it can be cast during another skill.
• 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.
• The sustain from Impact Savant depends on attacking, so don't slack on your DPS.
• 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.
• Flash Shell can be used to blind trash mobs, mitigating incoming damage in some fights.
