Alcatraznc.3869 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Alac power DPS mechanist is trash. Even with Hammer it's barely passable. If you want to play alac mechanist as a sub dps, then use condi : Or play HAM 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can open the door for the pizza delivery man and still do really well. The simplicity also comes with quality of life utilities that are useful for most raid encounters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvolupo.5708 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Yeah, the Power version with Hammer Is in the 30 ish k DPS. So, It Is low, but Is so simple to reach this Number and also give Alac, Fury, might, a bit of protection, stab and aegis Just by existing that i don't care much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build I linked is also very consistent in both dealing damage and providing alac. If you do not want to do any input then you might as well not play the game at all. Power Alac allows you to do that but at the cost of doing no damage. And if you're doing no damage you might as well just play HAM and be usefull for your party. As far as ADPS goes PMech has a lot of competition 9 hours ago, Stx.4857 said: That build uses three kits. How is that simplified (video title) Pistol 2 ---> during the cast you switch to another kit and press 2 and 3 or 4 depending on the kit and you rotate like that. It is literally use skill 2 of pistol and every kit in chain. We've seen worse rotation. Edited October 24, 2023 by Alcatraznc.3869 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer alac is still a very consistent powerful build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaki.9563 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Dude stop talking nonsense. "No dps" get out of here. Condi does what, 32k? You are making it out like condi alac does 50k and power does 5k. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that simplified (video title) I replace nade kit with shift signet makes it easier. But also I don't do high level content. I tend to stay at T1 and t2 fractals and only do the easy strike missions rest is open world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also gives ~25 stacks of group might where the hammer build is ~8. It’s more intimidating from the kits than actually hard, just gotta practice a little bit.

Trevor Philips.3824 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 You can even replace grenade kit with throw mine for power alac mech, it's really simple and consistent. Just change aim-assisted rocket to explosive temper (hammer 2 is an explosion, so you'll consistently have at least 5 stacks of explosive temper). Won't do as much on a golem, but in an actual encounter, the simplicity makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx.4857 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I love throw mine! I haven’t tried it with hammer mech yet I’ll need to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I'm traited firearms, tools, Mech for small scale and general OW btw). It Is a king in OW by any meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelteas.7192 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Condi mech takes too much to ramp up a decent dps, while in most dungeons and fractals the mobs die withing few seconds, power is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
