Kits

A large part of the support is generated through the use of your Jade Mech and Kits.

Engineering kits can be opened instantly to give access to 5 new skills, which when closed again return you to your weapon set. Each kit skill will have its separate cooldown, although as you play the class you come to get a feel for when each skill will be available.

Jade Mech :

Your jade mech is your main source of Alacrity generation, while also providing a significant portion of your other boons. It inherits your concentration and healing power thanks to Mech Frame: Channeling Conduits .

Med Kit :

Your Med Kit is your main source of healing. It has a mixture of condi cleanse, supportive boon generation, and burst healing thanks to Health Insurance

  • Med Blaster and Bandage Blast provide a large amount of constant healing to your party.
  • Cleansing Field will cleanse up to 4 conditions over 3 seconds, while also providing a water field that can be used for blast heals.
  • Vital Burst is a large group heal that should be used to recover from high incoming damage.
  • Infusion Bomb is a blast finisher that can be used to blast your water field from Cleansing Field for burst healing. It also provides some Regeneration, Vigor and Swiftness.
  • Remember that many skills in Med Kit heal in a small radius so make sure you are close to your party.

Elixir Gun :

Provides some additional support through condi cleanse, some burst healing, and slow CC.

  • Tranquilizer Dart applies Weakness for some slow CC.
  • Glob Shot applies Crippled for some slow CC. When hitting an enemy it will also share Swiftness to allies.
  • Fumigate is a mass condi cleanse, cleansing up to 5 conditions from allies. It also applies a small amount of Vulnerability.
  • Acid Bomb is a blast finisher. Also since it is an Elixir it grants might through HGH
  • Super Elixir is a burst heal, Once hit it also creates an area of continual healing for 10 seconds, making this one of your best healing abilities. It also condi-cleanses and grants might through HGH
  • While not every skill in this kit is commonly used, in particular, the condi cleanse and burst heal are very useful in high-pressure situations.

Elite Mortar Kit :

While not every skill is commonly used, it still provides some slow CC and has access to a strong AoE pulsing heal.

Underwater Guide

When underwater, Heal Alacrity Mechanist is unplayable due to your Jade Mech skills not being availible, which leaves you with a couple of options. You can either swap class to a Alacrity provider that will work underwater (Renegade or Tempest). Alternatively, if you want to stay as an Engineer your best option is to swap to Heal Quickness Scrapper.
