    Power Mechanist is a strong DPS Option on virtually all encounters in the game. It is fully ranged, has great self-sustain, great mobility, amazing Crowd Control, and access to decent self-, some group all while being very easy to pick up.

    Build fundamentals

    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.

    You are able to support some group generation with Blunderbuss as well as provide yourself with a lot of via Mech Core: Jade Dynamo.

    Mechanical Genius gives your Mech a percentage of your attributes. It also gives you this icon on your buff bar if you don’t have it there’s a 50% penalty on the stats inherited by your mech making your mech very weak. The Mechanical Genius buff is reapplied every 3 seconds if you are within a 300 radius of your mech and lasts for a total of 6 seconds. So make sure to stay close to your mech whenever possible to reapply the buff.

    Rotation Tips

    Blunderbuss and Shrapnel Grenade are your strongest weapon skills. Blunderbuss can always be followed up with Shrapnel Grenade if the Rotation is executed properly since their cooldown is similar.

    Entering Grenade Kit and leaving Grenade Kit with Stow Grenade Kit doesn’t cancel skills. However, swapping back to Rifle with Weapon Swap does.

    If you only use Shrapnel Grenade in Grenade Kit you will have to swap back to Rifle with Weapon Swap since Stow Grenade Kit will still be on cooldown.

    Net Shot and Overcharged Shot will cancel other weapon skills. This includes Freeze Grenade and Poison Grenade if you swap back to Rifle with Stow Grenade Kit.

    Don’t cancel other Mechskills with Overclock Signet.

    Crowd Control

    Most of these skills are used in your Rotation so make sure to save them when you know that a break bar is coming up.

    Rotation Tips

    Be careful not to cancel Blunderbuss or Throw Mine by using Net Shot and Overcharged Shot too quickly.

    If you have trouble pressing your Mechanist Profession skills (F1, F2, F3) off cooldown manually, you can set them to auto-cast by pressing CTRL and Right clicking their skill icons. However, this is not recommended since the Mech will still use them even if its target is invulnerable.

    Don’t cancel other Mechskills with Overclock Signet.

    Save Overcharged Shot  and Throw Mine for CC if you know that a defiance bar is about to happen.
