Third tier
Mechanic
Mechanic is the alternative advancement option for Blacksmiths. While the Mastersmith focuses their efforts on drawing the maximum possible power out of the equipment they and their friends use, the Mechanic turns to creating brand new tools to aid them in combat.
This manifests in two very different build paths. The first is the construction of the Madogear, a massive suit of power armor that grants the wearer greatly enhanced physical abilities. The Madogear gives access to a wide variety of skills from single target heavy damage, to ranged attacks, to even defensive shielding to protect them from harm. The user also has the option of pushing the Madogear into overdrive, greatly increasing its capabilities at the cost of overheating and dealing constant damage to themselves over time.
The second build path revolves around the creation of support drones. These drones fight alongside the user, attacking and using skills at their own discretion, while also providing a passive bonus to their summoner while alive. These are coupled with a pair of Command skills, allowing the Mechanic to push their drones past their ordinary limits for short bursts of time to exhibit greater combat effectiveness.
Unlike the Mastersmith, the Mechanic gains no new abilities that generate Extort Stacks, and virtually all of their abilities cost Extort Stacks to use. But things are not so dire as they appear: while wearing a Madogear, all Madogear skills have their Extort costs reduced to 0. Similarly, while the user is NOT wearing a Madogear, all Drone skills have their Extort costs waived. This allows Mechanics to splash into both trees if they so wish, while rewarding those that dedicate fully to one side.

Active ShieldingMadogearSelfLv 10
Extort-fueled defensive Barrier.
The user activates the defensive shielding of the Madogear, creating a protective Barrier that blocks all damage received for a short duration. The Barrier's HP is based on the Madogear Construction level of the user and the current amount of Extort Stacks they have. If a Madogear is currently equipped, the Extort stacks are counted, but they are not consumed. During Overdrive, this skill always treats the user as having five Extort Stacks.
