Boon Heal Mechanist
This build has good healing, very strong CC, and access to a very wide range of offensive and defensive boons for your allies. Make sure to read the remarks for alternatives for runes and utility skills.
Build fundamentals
Playing Support Mechanist is relatively easy to pick up, you will want to use most of your skills off-cooldown for maximum boon uptime, and keep healing with Med Kit
During fights, try to always finish Mace auto-attack chain for barrier and Alacrity
Keep in mind your Mech skills can be interrupted by querying different skills. For example, it’s very easy to interrupt a long, channeled cast of Barrier Burst
