- Lower impact 2-kit Condi Alac & Might Mechanist Build ("Chopsticks" build)
Bench log: dps.report/Rrm...
Build: gw2skills.net/e...
+ Lvl 10 Jade Bot Core
This build uses Elementalist runes instead of Aristocracy. The might gap is closed by 2 fire field blasts (napalm & detonate heal turret).
Boon upkeep: 100% alac, 25 might, ~75% fury, some regen, some prot
Boon generation log: dps.report/Ty6...
Lower dps due to only bringing quickness as a buff and no profession enhancements.
Build variations:
- If bringing Pinpoint Distribution for your condi dps sub, you can swap to Nightmare runes so you don't lose condi duration. PPD is still a dps loss either way, but bringing Nightmare runes minimizes the loss.
- While learning or for a more forgiving time with boon upkeep, you may choose to use Toxic Maintenance Oil instead to help with boon duration in case you delay casts or mess up some of the blasts.
- Tuning Icicle is a very small dps loss compare to Magnanimous Tuning Crystal. Feel free to bring Tuning Icicle instead if you'd prefer.
- DPS sigil (like Earth or Geomancy) + Toxic Maintenance Oil instead of Concentration sigil + DPS util. I went with Concentration Sigil because it gives a bit more BD (1.27%) than Toxic Maintenance Oil. You gain 95 (~105 w/ lvl 10 core) condi damage from Magnanimous Tuning Crystal, which is also really nice.
- If you have another primary might source in your sub and don't need to upkeep 25 might, feel free to bring mechanist 1-2-2 instead and using F1 off cooldown for extra condis. You could also leave heal turret down for regen uptime or bring a different heal skill like AED or Rectifier.
Build notes:
- Ideally, you also have a max Jade Bot Core because that will scale your Magnanimous Tuning Crystal (you gain 7 condi damage stats).
- Bringing Blast Shield doesn't appear to scale the Magnanimous Tuning Crystal, unfortunately. Explosive Temper is still a somewhat significant dps source for this build.
- I haven't compared mace/pistol to pistol/pistol yet. I'm still working on that and I have a limited amount of time every week to theorycraft. Please be patient.
Rotation overview:
Opener:
1. Barrier Blast (F3)
2. Place heal turret.
3. Pistol 4, 3, 2
4. Bomb 2, Bomb 3
5. Flamethrower 2, 3, 4
6. Detonate heal turret
7. Crisis Zone (F2), F1, Esig
Simplified loop:
1. Pistol 2
2. Bomb 2, Bomb 3 or 1
3. Flamethrower 2 (+ 3 & 4 whenever off cooldown)
4. Pistol autos + (3 & 4 whenever off cooldown)
Read rotation notes for additional details of when to use other skills off cooldown.
Rotation notes:
- Use F2 & F3 off cooldown to upkeep boons! Don't interrupt the cast of your F3 under any circumstances with F1, F2 or Esig.
- Use F1 off cooldown.
- Use Esig off cooldown in fights where your mech won't die. Otherwise save it in case your mech dies, so you can resummon.
- Use pistol 3 & 4 off cooldown during pistol loop.
- Do not delay your kit rotation to greed pistol 3 & 4. This will cause you to lose might.
- Always swap to your bomb kit during the cast of your pistol 2. Pistol 2 and Bomb 2 have the same cooldowns. Use your Pistol 2 to guide your swap to bombs for generating might.
- Place your heal turret during pistol loop when you'd be otherwise auto-attacking, while waiting for pistol 2 to be ready.
- Detonate your heal turret at a convenient time while your bomb 2 fire field is still up. I aim for right after I'm done with flamethrower.
- Pre-cast heal turret during encounters whenever there's down time.
- If you have a secondary might source in your sub (like a quick harbinger or cqb), you can leave heal turret up for regen uptime and detonate it situationally for might ramp-up or additional coverage.

This is not a beginner build, despite the simple rotation. It requires combo field proficiency to upkeep 25 might.
This 2-kit "Chopsticks" build was designed to make performant condi alac & might mechanist that is more accessible to players with wrist problems, etc.
I recommended Xyonon's 4-kit "Piano" build w/ Aristocracy Runes for the more general use case: ruclips.net/video/dMdGeWnKaRA/видео.html
More on the accessible design decisions:
- Grenade-less & lower APM rotation to minimize wrist pain flare-ups.
- Simplified rotation with 2 kits instead of 4 kits for an easier time learning and to reduce the cognitive load of the rotation.
That being said, this isn't a true low impact build. It may not work for everyone. It works for me & my access needs. I tried to incorporate feedback from other players that were struggling with the accessibility of the existing alac mechanist builds also.
Bench could be cleaner/higher, but my EDS is kicking my butt right now. 🦓 gaming
Best of luck on the recovery! That golem needs it... Hope you feel better soon too!
Technically speaking, couldn't you use the runes of aristocracy for better might generation, while still doing like ~23k?
I Just tried this build and i prefer It to the aristocracy One , It Just flow naturally for me , i have to Ask if you tried mace instead of pistol ? If It s Better
I haven't had time to look into it in extensive detail, but from my initial experimentation, mace does pull comparable dps figures at fights where the boss has decent to fast attack. For bosses with high attack speed, mace would pull better dps. The dps delta isn't as dramatic as for a full dps build. That being said, the pistol mh lines up a bit better with bomb 2. If you look at my rotation for the hybrid condi healer, that one uses mace mh, bomb and flameturret. You can use a similar rotation.
how can u say 100% alac uptime when u set your default buffs to perma alac... the point is to see the alac sup and condi .... not just what condi can u press in a most unrealistic way... i rly dont understand. how is this 100% uptime on bot only skills. Might uptime yh i can understand but if i just wanna max condi dps id not use the alac traits and simply go full ritu + maybe carrion for alt. non eod stats and use mace pistol -- i REALLY wanna make this alac build work but primarely for alac maximization not condi output (that ofc has to be at least 20k)
There's a link to a boon generation log in the video description. Please read through the video description there's more details about the build there. 45% boon duration is all you need to generate alacrity exclusively from the pet.
I theorycraft and record my videos in a way that's compatible with my disability. My disability makes me do a lot of misinputs and makes benching multiple times in a row to get a nice recording physically painful. Adding all the boons by default removes some of the pressure for me to execute the rotation perfectly during the recording process. I always include a boon generation log separately to show what players can expect for boon uptimes for all boons. The boon generation log is taken on a different session, since I can only bench for about 20min at a time without pain.
@@SweetPotatoGW2 thanks for this vid, I also have disability (pain/mobility issues) and my mmo skills suffer badly due to it. this looks like something slightly more accessible than most piano builds out there that serves good utility. i'll have to practice though
