The damage output of this build was SLIGHTLY nerfed in a patch while we were editing this. Apparently sword 2 and 3 were cooling down way too fast due to a bug which has been fixed. Build still viable though.
i used this build for almost a month before it was nerfed -_-
I use the rifle do you know what does more damage
@@wilfredwest67 Sword/Pistol then Hammer then rifle. However, I get higher numbers on Hammer than sword/pistol during gameplay while rifle is very consistently good in all content except CMs. Some CM's cause many power build to fall off and rifle is heavily effected on some of them.
@@theamazinghaole2384 thank you
"It is extremely unga bunga." You know us too well Muk.
OOoouuOOOnga BOOOoooooOOounga
Heh, thanks for the showcase Muk! Great video! I really enjoy this build and personally recommend it. It's easy to play, does good damage and gives good boons. Just a heads up I believe the sword 3 is still actually bugged! It's supposed to be 12 seconds, but it is currently 14 seconds. We are losing a bit of dps from that bug, but from what I tested I got around the same numbers I got prepatch anyways. Enjoy!
Ayy you're awesome man, thanks for what you do. I love the creative meta alternatives you come up with.
Very nice ^^
I have to say, i absolutely love this series you're making, helps a lot for people like me who don't play other classes to learn what other people can or can't do, in an easy to digest form. Loving it.
100% this. As a thief main who will die thief - unless it ever becomes relevant - this is very helpful.
I would like to add that, in this build, your heal skill is a flex slot. so you have a choice to run Healing Turret for team condi cleanse, Med Kit for EVEN more team pulse cleanse and boons, or AED for one-shot prevention mechanic.
Running AED while kiting oil with your tank in Deimos is pretty chill.
There's more and more player's abilities that can cover enemies aoe. A simple* solution would be to have the option (or by default?) to have the enemies' aoe drawn on top of allies' aoe.
* I say "simple", but I'm not the one coding that game, so I don't know if it's actually easy to code or not. I'm not saying "spaghetti code", I just know that when something is not planed since the conception of a program, adding it in afterwards can sometimes be suprisingly tricky.
If you have to play power alac mech, I'd play it with hammer. It's more damage on any non-Holo engineer power builds and it's still very easy to play.
I just finished making medium obby armor last night n planning on running this build at raids on sat! I normally run condi alac temp and Bern looking for a power variant so I can switch for any bosses that takes better power dmg. excited to try this out!
Loves your videos, it helped me alot❤
I started playing 1 month ago, i got rare drop "Fang of the Lion's Champion" 😍🔥waiting for it to get sold to buy all the living worlds ♥️♥️
As far as burst is concerned for Power Mech: Hammer > Sword/Pistol > Rifle. If your group is going to burst down a boss fast you bring Hammer over Sword/Pistol to help speed up the fight, but Sword/Pistol has amazing sustain DPS for longer fights. Rifle is nice on fights where you don't need to pump damage I always use Rifle for my T4 Fractals because lazy mode ranged lets me avoid attacks.
I recently started playing quickness Catalyst because of this series. Can't wait until you get to it so I can tell people how to easier keep quickness up.
Thank I use this a lot but I think I will try the sword and pistol out for my nexted T4 day and recs I use the rifle with barrier signet most of the time it works great because no matter where you are you can hit everything
As of now, I am curious AND afraid of what you will do with mesmer.
staff/staff alac mirage is very easy in the similar way. You have a bit of forced movement and clone management but you also get a lot of mobility and survivability with it (imagine evading half the time)
@@Tevesh42 Can only agree to that
I suspect you could do a simplified version of pistol pistol condi as well by replacing kits with mine and signets like what was done with the power version. I wonder if it would be a better alternative.
I use the exact same build for Open world, but with hammer. Thunderclap (hammer5) pairs nicely with Throw mines (blast for area swiftness) or Electro-whirl (hammer2) for some extra damage, Rocket charge (hammer3) is a nice 1k range niche-mobility skill with evades between the leaps, and Shock shield (hammer4) is a block that damages _while_ it produces barrier (=more alac). Probably does less damage than sword+pistol, but has better utility imo (rocket charge to evade or shock shield to block red circles from champions in convergences=op)
I run Rifle, Hammer, and Sword/Pistol Alac Mech with throw mine, Shift Signet, and Barrier Signet with exactly 50% boon duration after utility buff. Simple, fun, and if you space your Alac buttons out it can get to 30 seconds of Alac within a short time. 10/10 would recommend. Runs like an Ak-47, it does its job and is reliable.
how much of your overall stats sit at?
you only show what gear to use but didnt show the stats
i only have exotic gears with ascened trinkets and im trying to optimized the stats of what i should prioritize first
Video idea: What would you do differently knowing all you know now if you started playing GW2 in 2024
Pow sword amech is good, pow rifle amech is good too; if someone like juggle kits, sure, there's condi for that...
but there is also EZ lazy condi alac mech - FLAMETHROWER ONLY kit to camp on, no bomb, no grenades - camp flame1, 2 more skills in kit, 2 outside, mash other buttons for ez win.
For rotation - camp flame kit, don't interrupt auto attacks, flame 4 to drop fire fields, flame 2 is a blast, drop flamer for pistol4 every few seconds - if You drop thrower second early - with pistol4 still on little cd, use pistol2/mace2, or do it after pistol4 if available already on swap. Conduit/barrier and F1-3 on cd. That's a little drawback, no easy way to tell when to drop flamer - but we want our weapon2 and weapon4 skill outside flamekit - just use both with priority of 4 if available.
Gear - mix of viper and ritualist, depends on mainhand - mace require less ritualist stats than going double pistol, barrier signet reduces that even more. rune of balthazar, sigils of bursting and smoldering, relic of scourge or krait - much depends on fight, no single ultimate here.
Final note - flame1 is fastest attacking skill in game, do much fun on HT strike and ball pushing.
You can play condi alac Mech with one kit and not lose on much damage. Bring grenade kit, superconducting signet and shift signet. Easy to play that way and still really effective.
reached 29k easily with the condi version, i think you should give it another try for sure
I dont like the mechanist as healer and im pretty sure im gonna skip making willbender, catalyst, untamed, bladesworn and mechanist healers, the ones that I have are the ones I need. I might even skip doing berserker healer, but since it heals great in cm100 I might consider doing it. It deals with anything there with such ease. I doubt I will ever do a mechanist build of any kind.
For condi mech:
Instead of the 3 kits snowcrows recommends I use grenade kit (2,4,5) as well as shift signet and superconducting signet to great effect.
Easier to play and basically similar dps
Yeah snowcrows is more like an encyclopedia than a build guide. It's usually fairly simple to tweak their builds to be easy to play and still be within the margin of error on damage output.
This build is so low apm you have to be careful about the thief relic dropping off. Hats off to MrMystic.
The Mr mystic where he does power mech no alac does more dps, it's just a few different talents
Mr Mystic is such a gift to the community. Great build!
Depending on the fight you can also switch to rifle. Great for CC or on fights where you are frequently out of melee range. Rifle 2 also gives might. I switch between rifle and s/p for different fights. Sword is more fun though 😄
That's frostmourne🧐
You never go over the underwater weapons!
how to play mech underwater - swap to scrapper!
you've linked to the power mech, not power alac mech video of mr mystic.
You can swap in pretty much any weapon here, sword/pistol top dps, hammer for utility, rifle for heavy ranged and movement fights
I've corrected the link, thank you!
What is the website with the builds at th-cam.com/video/ccEC5mdTiYA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3funydRNVIrs5XLF&t=25
Snowcrows😊
The point of this build using swords is because at 3rd attack of sword (1) reduces the CD of sword 3 hence "rocket punch" occurs more often aka more dps. For fractals I use always Rifle as it makes more mobile and it's more safe to avoid stuff. The damage is about the same (in fractals)
PLAY, quick harb. >.>
To make it even easier, for those that don't know, you can set the f1-f3 to auto activate when available for even more lazy play.
Disregard this as people have said below haha
bad idea mech 50% of time is in narnia and you alac time will sffer on auto mode
Agree with @TH-camChillZone - very bad idea.
Every time the fight starts mech will get stuck behind doing F3 while the group moves to actually engage the boss.
You actually need to have a habbit of ordering your mech to move by your side before you use F2-F3 otherwise it will rarely land properly.
Mech positioning can be managed with f6 and f7 as mentioned. Also f4 (disappear) before a fight then f4 again to drop the mech on the boss' head and he's right where he should be.
Tbf hadn't thought about that, makes alot of sense. Thanks for your replies!
@@orcishhorde never start the fight with mech out, drop it in right ontop of the boss. getting used to ordering your mech to attack targets, or blastoff/re-drop for positioning and more cc dmg, is a good thing to get used to, and its not complex esp on a build like this with very little else going on.
at that point, just stick to legacy snowcrows rifle mech for an easy same dps and range. I was mech main, its the exact same dps, there is no change. if mobile boss, your dps is lost bcus of sword melee. PLUS you can run full bererker and still apply 100% uptime on rifle. If u run full zerk on sword, the diff is ~500 dps gain. but once again, if boss moves a lot its a huge loss
Question! Is Alac Mirage still a thing and is it in the line-up?
It does good dps (especially for beginner, it's not hard), but you cannot reach meta-level dps with it so it is not recommended anymore by snowcrows. I do hope mukluk shows it :)
