PvE
The MPD has only one breed, S/S.

The MPD is notable for its Decoy, which with its 309 Speed and Mechanical racial, can save it from otherwise deadly mechanics. It has a very useful split damage in Thunderbolt, and a decent basic attack in Breath.

Use Decoy either specifically to prevent taking a big hit, or on cooldown. Use Thunderbolt on cooldown, and Breath otherwise.

Bombing Run can be used in tamer strategies occasionally to set up delayed damage under a debuff.

Discussion: The MPD is a very useful addition to your toolbox, with Decoy for avoidance, and a side specialisation in being a double counter to Magic pets, since Mechanicals take less damage from Magic attacks, and Breath is strong against Magic.

Its gameplay is simple: decide when to use Decoy – at the start, unless you know when a big hit is coming – and then use Thunderbolt on CD and Breath otherwise.

Speed + Mechanical racial + Decoy often keeps the MPD alive to do a couple of extra rounds of damage.

Bombing Run can be used in combination with a swap to a pet that will apply a damage buff before it hits, or against Beasts, but it’s not common.

Explode may be used to die deliberately in a Tamer strat, to let a Carry Pet finish with XP.

PvP
In PvP, its speed, and the avoidance of Decoy, together with the AoE from Thunderbolt, used to make it well worth running, though Bone Barrage is a common incidental counter to its Decoy.

As of now the speed creep makes it fall near an awkward halfway through.
