Part of the current metagame

Our curator decided this build is in the current metagame regardless of rating. This build is unrated.

Focused on: Healing, Support and Condition damage

Designed for: Raids, Fractals and Open World

Difficulty:
TBD

Overview

A flexible 'do it all' build for Mechanist. Bring either alac+solid (15-20K) dps with 100% burn/bleed duration or alac+healing with 80% boon duration all in the same gear set with minor skill alterations. Good for open world, story, fractals, strikes - not recommended for Raids due to Celestial gear. Jack of all trades, master of none - performs just fine in either setup in T4's, Strikes, and metas.

The draw of this build is it's easy to do 'good' dps or support with minimal tweaks in one set of gear. As an added benefit, Celestial gear is what you're given on boost and Traveler runes are very cheap, making the build very accessible to new players.

Hybrid DPS or Hybrid Heal

The draw of this build is it's easy to do 'well' in either dps or support with minimal tweaks in one set of gear. As an added benefit, Celestial gear is what you're given on boost and Traveler runes are very cheap, making the build very accessible.

Defiance Bar
  • DPS: Rocket Fist Prototype, Air Blast
  • Heal: Rocket Fist Prototype, Magnetic Inversion, Static Shield, Throw Shield
DPS

For alac-dps, run the Sinister weapons and first set of skills shown. For more damage and less alac uptime (solo/open world), use Discharge Array. DPS Priority:

  • Swap to Flamethrower to drop Napalm and Flame Blast when Napalm is up
  • Use Rocket Fist Prototype and Blowtorch off cooldown (they have the same cooldown)
  • Rolling Smash and Superconducting Signet off cooldown when available (make sure the mech is in position to hit)
  • Mace auto chain (you have +67% condi duration so you'll be getting barrier, alac, and dropping confusion stacks on the target)

Defense/Zergs: For crowds, you can camp Flamethrower to tag. Use Smoke Vent,

Single targets stay mace/pistol, use 3/4 off cooldown, and occasionally swap to Flamethrower for 4,2.

Heal

For alac-heal, weapon-swap to Celestial mace/shield, slot in Med Kit, replace Flamethrower with Elixir Gun, and slot Elite Mortar Kit. You can also equip more of the middle Mechanist row for more support. Your heals are Elixir Gun 5, Mortar 5, Med Kit 5 and 1.

I can't stress enough to tell how this build performing exellently anywhere in the game except in Raid ofc. This build is a beast in solo play, close to immortal if i must say while deals a good amount of damage, in Fractal/Strike/Dungeon able to provide excellent Heal/Alac while being a Tank for your team, very beginner friendly and being effective whilst gearing up is not that expensive, pure 5 stars.

It is a very nice build which I've been playing for a while now. I never liked core eng but mech util truly is amazing. Not to mention the good dps, survivability and alac. Since my eng is not all the way leveled yet I'm currently using a mixture of asc and exo gear, but still it's working quite good even for hard metas and strike missions. I can only expect it'll be better and better as I swap the remaining exo gear for asc. My fav eng build by far!
