Oh that would explain it, I never use the thing since it has about as much defense as all the pets in the game including the turrets and gets destroyed in 2 seconds wasting an elite. Thanks.

It’s reasonable as a stationary defense in WvW, as it can be placed where it doesn’t require LoS to the bombarded area which means it’s impossible for the enemies to take it out. Added bonus that you can lob grenades or something while a non-engineer uses the mortar. Also the cooldown is identical to the duration, so it has in essence a 100% uptime. Outside of that very niche use, though, it’s pointless.

I like to switch to it when I’m defending forts, but for everything else, there’s Supply Drop.

It needs to be much much more durable. That wouldn’t break anything. You’d think the downside to being on a mortar is that you’re rooted and vulnerable, not that the thing is made of paper and blows away with a stiff wind.
