should be master tier or higher, way too strong at the adept level. it’s way too hard to predict because of the cluster kitten that is 8000 turrets + pirate bird, you can’t even see when they’re going to die

It was just brought down from Master a handful of balance passes ago. Maybe you’d like to reverse the swap of Incendiary Powder and Accellerant Packed Turrets?

As much as I hate to see one of my servermates getting taken to school … that’s a very good point. I know I, at least, would leave APT/IP right where they are. At least you can kill an Engi and his turrets become useless … eating regular crit-burn off ICD is a freaking animal to get smacked with.

What kinda joke thread is? As if turrets and power engis weren’t kittenty enough.

personally i think you should be able to just tip over turrets like in portal and call it a day

also please make the turrets adorable like in portal

makes them harder to hate at least

Fine, but the turrets in portal did significant damage, fired rapidly, and applied pushback. That’s a deal I’d gladly make, even if you also include the directional limitations.

And only mesmers would be able to do it.

You do know the range on that explosion is just 120 radius, right? Its less then melee range, you can literally melee the turret to death and still not get hit by the explosive knockback.

Maybe stop hugging Turrets that are about to die?

But I like turrets! They’re so adorable!

Tbh it was better that way… but having both accelerant packed and IP both in master isn’t mutually exclusive either (which is what you seem to be implying).

That’s obvious, but Accelerant Packed Turrets was first trait chosen out of all the Master Traits to come down to Adept, and make way for Incendiary Powder. I seriously doubt it’s so good now that it will be the first trait to be tossed back up into Master tier.

Whether it’s trading back Incendiary Powder to Adept or otherwise. :P

If anything wouldn’t it make that more suited to be moved back since it was master before? I mean I agree it probably won’t happen since that would be sort of admitting a mistake and all (lol) but it’s a strong enough trait to where it deserves to be master imo. I would prefer that to it being nerfed which is where I see the build going due to all of the complaints.

That being said, adept eng does need some reworking/love (I/IV/V suck).

Explosives V is Accelerant Packed Turrets now btw.

But I agree, Adept explosives is pretty meh.. but with Shrapnel for Grenade builds, Forceful Explosives for bomb builds, Accelerant Packed Turrets for soloq Turret builds, it’s doing the trick all-right, atm.

What the hell would Turret builds use for an Adept if not for Incendiary Powder anymore, or Accelerant-Packed Turrets as well? That pretty much leaves Exploit Weakness, lol.

I am of the opinion that Turret builds should die in a fire, but I’d like the trait system to feel good, at least.

Oh my bad about the trait #’s.

Yea it’s not horrid, but there are some in there that are just rubbish and need a rework… but they have for quite a while now

APT is just too much of a game changer/utility bonus for it to be in adept imo.

Agreed about turret (and all ai) builds lol.
