Skill Variants

Healing

• Elixir H - More boons and simpler to use, but no condi cleanse and less Regeneration uptime.
• Coolant Blast - Better condi cleanse and mobility, but less burst healing and fewer boons.

Utilities

It is strongly advised to use both Spectrum Shield and Hard Light Arena since they provide the majority of this build's survivability.

• Laser Disk - Lower DPS than kits but easier to use.
• Rocket Boots - High mobility and AoE Burning on demand.
• Elixir U - More Quickness and stun breaks.

Elites

• Elite Mortar Kit - Better ranged damage and utility.

Specializations

Spec Variant

• Thermal Release Valve - More overall holoforge uptime, be sure to run Sigil of Superior Sigil of Strength for Might if using this trait.
• Explosive Temper - More damage, less survivability.
• Shrapnel - More damage, less survivability. Also consider running Crystal Configuration: Storm with this trait for added explosive synergy.
