**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?** Mechanist perk “Power Armor” does show your hero as a construct, but does not gain double attack and double armor when sparkgrinder performs his skill. Device: iPhone 6 with all latest patches. ---

Currently, all hero class perks do not work for troops that change their ability based on troop type. I forget if they mentioned if it will be fixed in 2.0 or not. ---

Sirrian did. > [@New Hero Class: Mechanist](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-hero-class-mechanist/5700/34): > > We’ve fixed that in 2.0… Hero Class Type Bonuses should now function correctly with all traits and spells. So Sparkgrinder can happily buff your Mechanist all you like (no euphemism intended) ---

Thanks! Only been hooked on GoW for only a month or so and first time on the forums. I figured this was a known bug, but thought to post it anyways. ---

Strictly speaking, this _isn’t_ a bug. The perks say ‘This hero counts as a (thing) for Team Bonuses.’ Not for any other purpose. That being said, it definitely should just be for everything. ---

Here’s the post: [Other teams that need synergy vs. Goblins - #16 by Studs](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/other-teams-that-need-synergy-vs-goblins/6091/16) Main problem is bad color coverage. Secondary is bad traits. ---

> [@Studs](#): > > Secondary is bad traits. machinist is supposed to get a different 3rd trait… i read it wasn’t supposed to be released yet but it was done because of “spring imp” issues 😃 the 3rd trait isn’t available in 1.9 but is in 2.0 😃 ---

Yeah, I was taking that into consideration. Mentioned the problem with its second trait in my write-up.
