Power Mechanist

October 2024

Introduction

Power Mechanist can choose from several different sets of weapons depending on your preferred playstyle and what the encounter demands. Rifle has slightly lower DPS than the two melee options, but comes with the considerable advantage of being ranged along with some light supportive capabilities. Note that unlike the two melee variants, Rifle uses Mech Arms: Jade Cannons .

For the kit-less low intensity version, check the alternatives section at the bottom.

Build Fundamentals & Specifics

Mechanical Genius gives your Mech a percentage of your attributes as long as you stay close to it. The trait applies a buff which is also called Mechanical Genius to indicate that you’re close enough, so make sure to pay attention to it – without this trait active, your output will be considerably weaker. The buff is reapplied when you get in range of your Mech and lasts for 3 seconds when you move out of range.

TIP: Engineers can enter kits while channelling skills without interrupting them. Practice casting weapon skills while entering Grenade Kit to make sure your rotation is up to speed.

Shift Signet is not only a long-range blink but can also be used as a , condition cleanse, and reposition your Mech if needed. Should your Mech die you can resummon it with Overclock Signet.

When in Grenade Kit always use Shrapnel Grenade and follow up with Poison Grenade andFreeze Grenade if they are off cooldown, otherwise just exit the kit early.

Try to pair together Blunderbuss and Shrapnel Grenade. You are able to provide some generation with Blunderbuss as well as provide yourself with a lot of via Mech Core: Jade Dynamo.
