Guild Wars 2

Hi! I apologize if I’m in the wrong section for this and understand completely if it is to be moved elsewhere. With that said, I learned some time ago that the “Deployable Turret” trait for the engineers can get engineers to throw their turrets to a spot. I then learned that you can throw these turrets up walls or harder to reach places, while still functioning and able to shoot from those spots. I -assume- that this is not an exploit as long as it is in an unreachable spot with the turret able to fire back with complete protection. For the most part, the spots that I can throw my turrets up can still be reached by melee in some cases. If not, can easily be hit by range. I doubt that I can put my turret in a spot that’ll make it completely protected (if I can even target that spot in the first place) due to turrets getting obstructed themselves. This is what I’m assuming is the case. But I would like to know if this can still be considered an exploit or not, just to be safe and not to break the game’s rules.

It’s not an exploit, toss turrets to your hearts content. If Anet doesn’t like it, they’ll nerf it before they ban anyone.

this question has been asked before, and the answer is no

They nerfed Ranger pets being over the wall, yet they agree having mesmers, engineer clones and turrets being over the wall.

Apart from a net turret, not being able to melee one into submission is no big deal. And net turret has the smallest range out of the ranged ones.

Well i was almost 1200 range from my tower gate (inside) and Orbs of Wrath were completely bypassing the gate and hitting me for massive dmg..how? I have no idea but i do understand being NEAR gates you’re subsceptible to AOE or cleave but to be 1200 back and still get hit is preposterous.
