GW2 NEW Engi Mechanist SPEAR Open World Controller/Steam Deck easy mode build

This is a build designed to make the open world as easy as possible whilst being comfortable on a controller setup. No weapon swaps or kits, high uptime on self-buffs, strong condition damage and good defensives.

EDIT: So following some feedback these feel like the two options, these are designed as Ultra Low Effort Builds (ULEB) Mechanist builds for steam deck/controller playstyle in ow content. Less buttons is better basically whilst still enabling good dmg and survivability.

Both use *Relic of Rivers* but not available in build editor atm. Primary weapon is spear, I use shortbow for second as range option. Neither have weapon or eng kit swaps to worry about.

Both do upwards of 17k dps on dummy in full exotic celestial (Rune of Fireband + Smoldering + Earth on wep). You can get up to 85% alacrity uptime if you spam dodges. Both can give max Might+Fury, build 1 reaches 75%+ quickness and build 2 easily reaches 100%.

1. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeUEQLjN... Spam elixir U for quickness, use shift signet for stun break and healing/shift signets for condi cleanse. Core rotation abilities: Spear 1-5 + Elixir U + Superconducting signet + Overclock signet = 8 buttons.

2. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeUEQLLI... Similar but quickness is passively provided by traits so only use Elixir U as stun break/condi cleanse. Dont use superconducting ever and only use shift signet is absolutely necessary. Elixir H is used instead for more boons and to proc hidden flask from alchemy more often but has lower sustained healing. Core rotation abilities: Spear 1-5 + Overclock signet = 6 buttons.
