Mechanist - Celestial Alacrity Support

Hybrid DPS or Hybrid Heal?

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

Healing 试剂枪 and 屏障纹章 are the best support choices. 试剂枪 provides the most healing, and 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 and 手雷包 offer the highest DPS (手雷包 is slightly higher than 炸弹包), though between them and 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.

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 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 for the ability to instantly revive it.

• 机甲武器：单刃切刀 could be taken for more damage if you don't need to provide all 25 stacks of 威能 to your subgroup.

Specialization Variants

For more healing, replace the Inventions traitline with Alchemy:

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

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
