Overview

A flexible 'do it all' build for Mechanist that's easy to use and can perform multiple roles. Good for open world, story, fractals, strikes, and most raids; shouldn't be brought to raids where Toughness is a factor. The build brings solid dps, healing and boons. Extra tanky due to celestial stats so great for beginners. Jack of all trades, master of none.

The draw of this build is it's easy to do 'well' whether solo or while filling a group's need for 敏捷 图标敏捷 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 to players new to engineer that have a boost available. Specialized builds will outperform this build for their niche, but the draw of this build is ease of use and flexibility.

As with other celestial builds, you have great freedom to adjust how much you want to focus on damage or support.

Skill Bar

Hybrid DPS or Hybrid Heal?

The above setup is just one option that provides a mixture of damage and heal utilities. 医疗包 图标医疗包 is the obvious choice for any heal build, and 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 provides both healing and damage via 试剂炮弹 图标试剂炮弹 and 毒气炮弹 图标毒气炮弹 respectively.

Healing 试剂枪 图标试剂枪 and 屏障纹章 图标屏障纹章 are the best support choices. 试剂枪 图标试剂枪 provides the most healing, and 屏障纹章 图标屏障纹章 can provide a good amount of barrier to mitigate incoming attacks while also blocking projectiles.

DPS For damage, 炸弹包 图标炸弹包 and 手雷包 图标手雷包 offer the highest DPS (手雷包 图标手雷包 is slightly higher than 炸弹包 图标炸弹包), though between them and 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 there won't be much time left for healing. For the absolute highest damage you could also bring a 喷火器 图标喷火器.

位移纹章 图标位移纹章 provides almost the same damage and allows for much more time to focus on support, while also being a very useful emergency teleport/stun break.

超导纹章 图标超导纹章 is an option if you want to avoid kits, but is less DPS than the other options. Leave it passive.

Elite There may be situations where your mech is in danger of dying. As you lose a huge amount of strength without a mech, you may have to bring 超频纹章 图标超频纹章 for the ability to instantly revive it.

Specializations

Specialization Variants

For more healing, replace the Inventions traitline with Alchemy:

Dropping Inventions removes your ability to provide 保护 图标保护 via shield skills, so Alchemy is a better fit when using offhand Pistol. Alchemy also enhances 医疗包 图标医疗包, making it better for burst healing.

Rune Variants

超级领导符文 图标超级领导符文 provides a lot of extra boon duration without sacrificing too much damage.

超级陷阱师符文 图标超级陷阱师符文 is the highest DPS option.

Other all-stat runes are also possibilities, such as 超级神佑之城符文 图标超级神佑之城符文 or 超级风裔符文 图标超级风裔符文.

Relic Variants

  • 卡拉科萨古物 图标卡拉科萨古物 is a good option for some extra healing. Unfortunately, there aren't really any good relic options for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.
  • 午夜国王古物 图标午夜国王古物 is a good option for capping your 激怒 图标激怒 and 威能 图标威能, though this often won't be necessary if your 急速 图标急速 support is generating some of each as well.

Sigil Variants

Stat Variants

Depending on your rune choice, you may end up overcapping on 流血 图标流血 or 燃烧 图标燃烧 duration. In this case you can swap in some Seraph stats Seraph stats pieces to increase your damage, while maintaining your healing power and concentration.

Consumables

As a hybrid healer, you ideally want to use ascended food that provides a 10% healing power modifier. This provides a much greater improvement to your healing than damage buffs would to your DPS.

Food

Utility

Usage

Alacrity

Both versions can produce a lot of 敏捷 图标敏捷 via barrier generation using 机甲结构:引流管道 图标机甲结构:引流管道, which also gives you access to 危机区域 图标危机区域 for a large amount of 敏捷 图标敏捷 at once. Keeping 敏捷 图标敏捷 uptime via barrier comes from using these skills regularly:

Defiance Bar

Whether you're playing heal or dps you should know which skills will hurt the blue bar:

DPS Skill Usage

For maximum damage, run Mace/Pistol weapons and use these skills:

DPS Priority:

  • Use 原型火箭拳 图标原型火箭拳 and 火焰喷射 图标火焰喷射 off cooldown (they have the same cooldown)
  • After using 蓄能猛攻 图标蓄能猛攻, swap to 手雷包 图标手雷包 for 破片手雷 图标破片手雷 and 毒气手雷 图标毒气手雷 (if available)
  • 翻滚重击 图标翻滚重击 off cooldown (make sure the mech is in position to hit)
  • Mace auto chain (you have +67% condi duration so you'll be providing alac&barrier while also dropping confusion stacks on the target)
  • If you're doing organized content, your primary job is providing alacrity - don't forget about it!

Defense:
