Overview

Mechanist is a versatile and potent healer, capable of providing permanent Alacrity Alacrity, Fury Fury and 25 Might Might in addition to a variety of defensive boons and barrier.

The mech itself provides the majority of offensive boons, which leaves the mechanist able to handle ranged mechanics and makes it very reliable provided the mech's position is controlled. Unlike the DPS alacrity builds, it also does not require to maintain Alacrity Alacrity, leaving it free to be used to counter mechanics with Aegis Aegis and/or Stability Stability.

The greatest weakness of heal mechanist is that its self-healing is even lower than usual for a heal build, which means that it is more difficult than the common alternatives if used as a tank.

Heal mech is a very simple build to get started on as it can generate permanent alacrity around the mech without any input from the player (if Barrier Burst is set on auto). This enables the mechanist themself to handle mechanics and/or pay full attention to healing, and the boon duration is enough that Crisis Zone can be saved for handling mechanics with aegis and stability. Getting full use out of the build is a little harder than on druid, but the minimum effectiveness is higher too.

Meta and for a very good reason. Easy boom uptime, incredibly good heals. Only downside is that you have to maneuver your Mech sometimes, which is easily done by a button press.
