Gw2 | Old Lion's Court CM | Heal Alacrity Mechanist | Green Tank

Example footage of playing Heal Alac Mech (Green Tank) on Old Lion's Court Strike CM for RTI.


This video was recorded when End of Dragons (EoD) was the latest expansion. However, apart from adding a relic nothing changed in the build.


Your task:
Getting tank on all 3 prototypes is proximity based; whoever is closest to them when they spawn or when the current tank gets downed will be tank, which is indicated by a colored bubble above their head. Due to the potentionally high pressure and chaos in this fight, high toughness is recommended to ensure you're not getting downed.
Every prototype with a tank has to be separated from each other. If they get too close, they'll empower each other, and if they empower each other long enough, the 2nd one will also do its special attack (close/range depending on buff at red, pulling players close at green, pushing players away at blue). So starting in phase 2 (60-20%), one player has to tank a boss away from the stack. [Note: In the last phase (20-0%), green and blue don't tether to each other, so you can actually pull green on top of blue, which will make the transition after green dies more smooth as everyone is already at blue if it starts its special attack right away! This isn't shown in the video as I wasn't aware of that when recording.]
As Heal Alac Mech, your job is to tank green whenever it's up, and tank red at the end of the second phase. This means you're doing all 3 tank phases in which you have to tank the boss away from the stack (green at the start of phase 2 and phase 3, red at the end of phase 2). Make sure that your Mech is attacking the currently active prototype to still ensure boons on your group. You have to be close enough to the stack for your Mech to remain there while not being too close for the prototypes to empower each other.
In phase 1, green is the 2nd boss that spawns. In phase 2 and 3, it spawns when the phase starts at the spawn circle that fills up 2nd. When tanking green away from the stack, try to avoid standing in its yellow/green-ish AoE on the ground and don't get hit by the scythe every 2nd AoE.
In phase 2, red spawns when blue becomes active after you phased green. Pull it to the very edge and try to stack its red puddles, which spawn below the prototype at every 2nd big yellow-ish AoE. Don't stand in the outer-most ring of blue's special attack; if you struggle to stay alive, feel free to shift-signet to blue during this attack, but walk back out as soon as possible.
Use your healing fields (Elixir Gun #5, Mortar Kit #5) and Barrier Signet for green and blue's special attacks and don't hesitate to camp Med Kit during these attacks, especially when players drop low.

Comments:
Our commander pinged something in squad chat to let the squad know when to cc a prototype, so I knew when I could stay in or had to move out of their one-shot AoE.
The red puddle placements when I tank red can be improved: I should pull the red boss closer to old puddles.
In order to receive good boons, especially when you're away tanking, your group has to stack properly at the currently active boss. This also makes the life of the kiter easier. The one player that has significantly less boon uptime in my subgroup did not stack properly. There's not a lot I can do about that.
