Guild Wars 2

Hi ANet,

I don’t like all the AIDS in the meta. Too much AI doing stuff instead of players playing. So because I don’t like the meta, I’m not playing in it.

I’ll keep an eye out for updates,

Until then

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome? What’s that got to do with pvp?

Yes because pet necromancers, spirit rangers, phantasm mesmers and spirit weapon-guardians with pirate rune are all part of the meta.

I think the point of this post is god kitten turret engis.

What? Do you even turret bro. This meta is so good you don’t even need to be there to play the game. You can just drop your turrets , go afk and come back in 10 min.

If you are the only turret engi in your team you’ll probably lose when you’ll come back. If you have 3 or more you will win easely.

Let’s say you can clearly see what’s the problem by solo queing. Actually, all topics ( whether it’s about turret enginners or bunker) put the issue on evidence…

The average players are playing solo queue, and are getting legacy of foefire with 2 thieves 1 mesmer 1 ele against turret + warrior + ele + guard, and are losing at any mistake they’re doing..

What’s the problem in fact ? Turret engineers ? Bunkers + Legacy of foefire ? People that do not know how to deal with builds mentionned ? Solo queue ?

Turret engineers are not a problem. They have no mobility and are extremely easy to counter. Just assign a person to hunt them from the spawn point, that will leave turret engineer completely useless while that assigned person can help out teammates while the engineer is on the respawn. And that’s just one of quite a few ways to counter the turret engineer.
… you can also simply autoattack and destroy rocket turret in 2 seconds with any zerker class. And if you really need to you can do the same to rifle turret. Without those turret engi can do absolutely no damage to you.

Bunkers are not a problem either. However, problem is when those bunkers also do high amount of damage.

Example:
bunker guardian = fine: it is quite tanky, supports teammates, gives stability and secure rezzes, but it does almost no damage at all besides retaliation
celestial ele = not fine: it has huge sustain, tons of fields and finishers, a lot more skills available, huge mobility, huge pressure, damage, protection, stability, burning, combine it all with doom sigil and an intelligent player and you get something that you just must have in a team if you want to win.

And yes, people don’t know how to deal with turret engineers and similar builds are the problem. It is also very sad to see that many top players don’t know how to deal with some builds and they insist on them being nerfed while they want their build to stay the same.

Thanks you for giving me something new to try!
