Mechanist - Power DPS

Weapon Variants

• Sword/Pistol is a small DPS gain for players that own Secrets of the Obscure, though as it is fully melee it may be lower damage in real encounters.
  • Shield is a moderate DPS loss, but offers good CC and survivability, though Hammer provides similar benefits and does more damage.
  • Players that own Janthir Wilds can push the damage even further by taking 炸弹包 and 血石古物.
• Hammer offers frequent projectile reflect, an evade, and a block. The lightning field on 雷霆一击 will also result in some occasional 迅捷 for your subgroup.

Skill Variants

• 自动除颤 can be used to skip certain oneshot attacks
• 炸弹包 should replace 手雷包 if using Sword and 血石古物.
• 投掷地雷 can replace 手雷包. This is a small DPS loss, but the rotation is simpler and you gain access to more CC and boon rip. It also has stronger burst damage if you can precast a mine.

• 狙击能手 is slightly more long-term damage for Rifle, but is notably worse against low-armour targets or in phased fights where the target goes invulnerable.
  • This trait makes significantly stronger than .
• 机甲武器：翠玉加农炮 are the highest damage, but your mech won't close to melee range, which can lead to them ending up outside of the range of 机械天才 if you don't keep an eye on it. This trait is required if using Sword/Pistol and 血石古物 as you don't have other ranged damage.
  • For phases under 20s, the burst of 机甲武器：翠玉加农炮 is significantly better so it is more recommended on encounters such as Keep Construct, Samarog or Conjured Amalgamate.
• It would be a minor long-term DPS loss to take 机甲武器：单刃切刀, and you wouldn't have to worry about your mech's positioning as much.
  • It would be a further minor DPS loss to take 机甲武器：高冲驱动器, and you would generate a decent amount of 威能 for doing so.

Food

• 碗装甜辣冬南瓜汤 or ascended versions

Utility

• 超级磨刀石

The build is incredibly easy to play, and mostly boils down to using certain weapon skills off-cooldown.
