I’m on the hunt for fellow engineers who would be interested in playing a different kind of spike, mostly for keep/tower attack/defense but also support in large scale battle. This will probably not be effective at all, but it could be fun. What it is essentially is using the new rocket turret toolbelt skill with full offensive gear. It got a higher damage base than jump shot and good scaling. It is aoe. It is slooooooow but it is stealthy. when i tested with a friend in spvp he got no red circle beneath him, and the arc is so large that people don’t see it coming before it hits them from straight above. Think of it as an invisible 1500 range dragons tooth with a longer delay. You can fire it, run off might stack and even use elixir x for a lucky power increase and then hit those guys on the wall for, well a lot. Im not really optimized yet and my highest was 9,5k on an lvl 80 ele, but others have reported hits of 13k+ hits. It is also fun to throw in the occasional close range shadow refuges and following it up with a jump shot. But what i would like to try is forming a party working as a mobile artillery, taking out grouped people with coordinated strikes of this. Is this effective? No, probably not. Would it be fun seeing the people oblivious of the 5+ rockets ready to deliver 10+k damage in an aoe each soaring down from the stratosphere getting suddenly thumped into downed in an instant? Well that’s what i hope. Who knows we could even try out covering the downed with chained mortar concussion barrages if we feel like it. Too bad leg specialist was fixed so fast, having a warrior on the mortar is/was fun (for us, not the poor sods stuck in it).
TL: DR I would like to recon the interest to try a rocket strike team for objective defense/attack and large scale support. VoIP might be good. Just for fun.

Not quite sure what utility I would switch out for something so situational (nor do i run zerker engi, or know anyone in wvw who does for long),

Sounds like fun, but the recharge fire rate is very slow and turrets die in seconds to any aoe, ac, etc etc then you have a utility slot wasted. Also very hard to use against any moving targets.

Victory he meant rocket turret BELT skill, yes there is some recharge but you need to not have turret deployed.
