Guild Wars 2

How does one aim the turret in the Sylvari Personal Story “Starving the Beast”?

Are you talking about the pact part of the storyline (which is a choice anyone can make regardless of race)? There are 3 abilities, one of them can be aimed, the other is an aoe to damage mobs that try to attack the turret and the third is a shield to protect the turret from attackers.

yes, that is the [part i’m talking about. how do you aim that turret?

I belive 1 is the ability you use for hitting the bone ship. When using it you should get a targeting circle that you must aim at the ship. The other two abilities are basically to protect you from the mobs trying to attack you.

I’m Having the same targeting problem. I have “Fast cast ground targeting” enabled, tried using my mouse as pointer, had no luck with using that or the firing ‘button’ for the turret-canon. All I get is the screen UI telling me I cannot point at that targe in that direction, very annoying. Where else am I supposed to aim if not at the bone ship??? A proper targeting device would have been more useful [in my opinion] when using these sorts of weapons. Killed loads of Risen Dead on the cliffs, but I can’t hit The Blight with the turret-canon. about to throw the ‘towel-in’ and play something else less frustrating, hope you have another suggestion Mr Vaughn

Thank you Jeffery, turning off ‘fast-cast ground targeting’ worked a treat. Played that quest sequence without a hitch. Probably turn the ground targeting back now as it’s a quicker way of targeting, but a good tip to remember.
