The Power Alac Amalgam is a strong offensive Alacrity class.
It offers straightforward access to might and alacrity, good cc, vulnerability and boonstrip as well as reflect. It is also good in condition compositions due to . Several trait and skill choices exist to adapt the build to specific encounters.
Equipment
For fractals, due to Exposed and Stun, it is worth adjusting your build to make use of . On certain bosses, other sigils like (Dark AI), (Siax and Ensolyss), (Eparch), or and (Kinfall) can be used as further damage increase instead of - or sometimes on top of - . Check the cheat sheet for the best consumables and sigils in each fractal or ask on discord if you are unsure.
Check the gear optimizer for more gear variants!
Food and utility variations, fractal god titles, as well as modifier uptime can potentially alter the optimal boss-specific build slightly.

Class Concept
Amalgam has straightforward, flexible rotation. It uses blasts from proc and to buff itself. Amalgam also has access to special morph skills rather than toolbelt skills. Select the best morph skills flexibly for each encounter, group or instability. With those skills also provide alacrity and special party support. For the pure dps version, different grandmaster trait options exists. The master and even adept traits can be selected flexibly, as well. Ask on discord if you are unsure what to play.
Like Scrapper, (Hammer 2) into ( 2) are often good skills to prioritize because of their low cooldown. At the start of phases try to follow the burst rotation below, when cooldowns are availible, and outside of this use the priority list below for filler skills. Additionally, make sure to try to maintain the uptime of your traits such as , to increase your damage as much as possible. Similar to Scrapper, makes it a good build on fights with mixed damage dealers.

Rotation / Skill Usage
Golem rotations from Raids are generally suboptimal in Fractals due to being optimized for sustained DPS. In Fractals players need to adapt their rotation to the amount of time a group needs to finish a phase or specific burst windows like Stun and Exposed. Try to get as many high damage skills as possible into a phase while quickly ramping vuln, stripping boons and stunning the boss.
Pre-Fight
Decide whether you want (alacrity), (long phases) or (short phases) and whether to run or (quick burst) or some other fight specific skill. Ask ondT Discord about the latest fight-specific suggestions and POVs. If in doubt about master traits, run . As DPS player, you most likely also want .

Prestacking Boons
Swapping equipment templates or skill templates with the same traits will not apply a status reset. Due to this, using a precast skill template and a precast equipment template with 100% Boon Duration is advised.
Relic Precasts
You can precast by using or before getting into combat on the way to the boss. You can also precast by giving yourself protection, for example with . Don't foget to swap back to your actual fight relic template in time.
How many relics and damage skills you can or want to precast depends on your group. If you are not in a static, you can ask the group to let you trigger the boss, but don't overdo it.
