So I have gotten kinda used to gyros and the related acoutrement. I like the ‘easy’ playstyle based on precise timing and familiarity with how my chosen utilities proc in certain terrains. I wanted to keep the ball rolling, so I tried this:

Demolisher’s amulet
Rune of the water

Hammer
Sigil of air
Sigil of blood

Inventions 2, 1, 2
Alchemy 2, 3, 3
Scrapper 2, 3, 2

EG, blast gyro, bulwark gyro, sneak gyro

Yes it is old meta build with 3 changes.
Yes it is essentially what I played into t2 legendary. YoloQ. With only amulet changed.

Try it, use properly and keep your light field on cooldown. Counter warriors like you would a decent power rev, or competent condi ranger, depending on yiur read of the warrior. Get used to being at 2/3 health instead of full health through prolonged fights, you’re still alive. Disengage, reset more often, and sooner in fights where you aren’t dominating outright. Blast gyro is your homeboy. Keep him on cooldown. Lost first 4 games after patch, and one bungled stronghold guild mission last night. Guild mission excluded, I would be on a 24 game win streak. So it’s working, at least for now. Enjoy

I’m running something pretty similar, but I’ve opted for Elixir B over Bulwark.

I find that Blast Gyro helps offset the nerf to Rapid Regeneration pretty handily, and with the added utility of a decent-ish CD knockback.

Yeap, I have run 7 games with B. Against direct damage like warriors and thieves, it’s very effective. Also pretty handy when the insanity of shatter torment mes hits me like a truck. It is not the pick against necro right now though. And there are still a ton out there. They proc corruption on your elixir and you’re gonna have a bad time. I also find that while the reflection is very effective against wars and thieves, I can achieve 17/21 seconds uptime on retaliation and light aura + the straight dmg absorption of bulwark. This is the way to go against power rev.
