Power Alacren still viable in Fractals?

[Scratchpaw.1069]

Haven't done any T4 fractals in a while and was thinking of running power Alacren. Is this still viable for T4 Fractals or has the role of alacrity been replaced by another, more favorable profession such as a HAM for example?

I dont do fractals too often but from what I can judge from LFG, for t4 people dont seem to care who brings alac

 

might be a different story for cms

The new meta is engineer golem, it does everything, even the coffee

As long as renegade has ventari bubble, stability and god-tier cc it wont leave the meta. Bubble alone can carry some fights.

Most fractal pugs do, in my experience, run with a hfb healer still, so power/condi alac ren fits in perfectly. Both hfb and healmech are really strong so you don't have to worry that mech will be the be all end all.

In my experience most pugs don't really care for specific comps as long as you got a healer, alac and someone doing quick it doesn't matter if its a HB, HAM or an Alac Heal Vindi doing it. As long as you have your roles covered! I did T4 dailies all the time as Heal Alac Vindi, sure for CM's they might look for specific comps but for T4's dailies no one really cares. So if you can upkeep Alac 100% then its still viable. 😛

You're right. Alac vindicator is dead now though 😢

Yeah I'm very sad for that too. I really hoped that the patch would have kept Alac Heal Vindi viable as I really enjoyed it but alas. Well it seems like Heal Vindi will be excellent at removing condis so it could fill a niche in that regard. I may instead look at doing Quick Heal Herald or Alac Heal Renegade since i have the gear. 😛

 Ran some T4s as heal quick herald and it works great as long as you have someone else covering stab.  Because of that, a power alac ren pairs well.
