One other quick item. I rebound my special action key and I cant get my gyro to work for the life of me. Either I have no clue when to use it (most likely) or I broke it. Any clues?
Are you referring to Function Gyro? If so it’s triggered by having a rezzable or spikeable target and using the normal ‘E’ key or whatever you have for interactions. Special Action key is specifically for new HoT type things, when that extra button pops up over top of your f5 that’s the special action, not the function gyro.
As for kits, 90% of the time I have nades slotted, probably like 80% of the time bomb, then the last slot rotates quite a bit, FT for condi builds or if the group really lacks might it’s not bad. EG is great utility and power damage with a stun break, condi cleanses/heal, and Acid bomb for damage. Toolkit is not bad in condi or power builds for extra defense through blocks as well as Prybar which is good in both condi and power, then the pull can be used as well at times, I doubt you’d need it much running Scrapper with hammer’s block though.
Mortar is almost always on my bar for PVE, learning the blind rotation is huge engaging with Mortar4, unleash your initial damage and work in Smoke Bomb after that, then once that’s over rotate Flash Grenade and whatever else you have.
Stealth Gyro has little bits of niceness here and there though, like Dredge Fractal getting that last console to open the gate. And Elixir is entertaining turning things into Moa’s. A little trick you can use as well is dropping Supply Crate before fights start in a place it won’t put you in combat, then you can swap back to your Mortar kit or whatever you would normally use, the turrets will stay up and you’ll have your preferred elite. This goes for Stealth Gyro too which like at that Dredge fractal if you’re out of combat after you’re done needing it you can just swap back to Mortar.
Anyways, Bomb and Grenades are kind of the go-to kits for damage output, one or both will likely always be on your bar. That 2nd or third slot will depend on the situation. If you don’t like getting up and Melee’ing (at least give it a shot though, with blinds and different enemy attacks it’s often easier believe it or not) then you might drop bomb and go with Grenades and slot Elixir U and B for buffage, but you’re going to do much better damage with different combinations of melee range attacks.
