Hello,
I repurposed my Guang pilot for the Tyr that I'll probably finish upgrading in about ten years.
Of the three "Random" skills that I was given, the only one that I might keep is Mechanic. I haven't run a healing bot before, is Mechanic worth having on one?
TIA

If your pilot is regular, then keep it.

Yes, still worth it.

Regular Mechanic skill? It'll make Tyr tougher, and give you a bit of healing even when in attack mode. Not bad at all.

I think its useful, mechanic would let you save your heal for an attack or to heal a group of blues

And mender needs it especially since the healing of mender isn't constant |

The more healing the more chance of coming top durability healed and getting the honor pts!.
Its also handy if you find yourself wanting the use the shield and second set of weapons.

Mechanic is useful on absolutely everything, on healing bots they simply get even better, So yes.

Depends on what bot and can you fit mechanic into the 7 slots.
Its free heals so its good if youre saving up on pcs.

I run 2 Menders in my hangar and I don't run mechanic on either. Personal preference I guess but I'd rather choose more useful skills and wait out the ability time to heal up.

Only healing allies count for the honor points. Weyland sometimes gets away with it, but i think because it's slow, or actually non moving. But you need to heal for at least 0 points for it to count. Weird i know, but think about it. Diff between not healing and healing for 0 points.
Yes, keep mechanic. But it's so so slow. You will have more fun watching paint dry on your wall, cause that's what you will be doing. Hiding in yo corner staring at a wall for 3 minutes. I make a hot coffee get a quickie in, etc. in that amount of time.

I make a hot coffee get a quickie in, etc. in that amount of time. A good way to look at it is, if the bot can stay alive for 5th of the battle (2 minutes), it can potentially heal 60% of its max HP using the basic Mechanic skill. That's not too shabby. Depends on the bot and what you want to do with it though. If you run it as a brawler with short expected lifetime, such as 20 seconds from the first contact with the enemy fire, then it's only 10% extra health. Still, even that is more than 1 upgrade level, isn't it? |

I know my phantom gets 15% durability bonus skill, so it might make more sense to get that one instead of mechanic. In champs, first contact is lit 2 seconds. I tried to use my weyland, bulwark, etc. to see which one would last the longest vs a juiced up whale Leech. My weyland's healing doesn't have enough time to kick in, and same with mechanic in 2 seconds. That will give 1% more health. In tests, i would rather use a L9 Raijin vs my L12 weyland to fight a Leech . But fighting a TFalc or Fenrir, I know my weyland does a great job because battles last for 2 minutes, well just long long long. For 20s first contact, i'd go with adding DR with the BB mod. BB for first contact but make sure not to trigger the LSTD. Then heal up, and use the LSTD. So that's at least 2 battles for every bot. |

Healing is good especially if you have the 20% damage resistance as well. Thats the best skill for a weyland IMO. Not sure if the tyr has that but thats a must have if it is available. |

Yeah, there are better skill, but are they so much better that it is worth it to pay the Au price to get them? If basic mechanic comes with random roll, I still say keep it, do not try to get something better... especially considering how it stacks with DR and extra armor, if you get those somehow. |

I would find Valka for Tyr. Unlike Mwangi or Renner, Valka makes Tyr much better in both assault and support formations and is definitely worth the buy if you didn't snag her in the last Ops pass. Repurpose your pilot for duty on Weyland or Mender, neither of which have legendary pilots.

Yea, mechanic skills are good. I’m just playing devil advocat3 so you know. I run Weyland for long time now, so I know pros n cons of healing. Yea deff keep it, but player needs to know which bots to run away from |

I think mechanic is worth it on every single bot, including healers. I run it on my mender and it does help, allows me to not have to use my ability to heal myself a little bit so I can save it for a bigger heal or to help a teammate.

I haven't run a healing bot before, is Mechanic worth having on one? TIA Depends. On the Mender no, On the Weyland and Tyr it amplifies the natural healing quite a bit and I would say since they don't have access to natural burst healing that it's quite good on those two. It's definitely a keeper, but not as good as true ace, armor expert etc |

I have it on my tyr, wish I had gotten true ace but that will be the next skill. It helps when I have to turn off healing to brawl, especially when I lose my shield. Tough guy might also be better, 15% more health...

Mender definitely
Tyr I suspect not as important as you can heal thyself without waiting on a cool down
Wayland who cares LOL
