Guild Wars 2

It sure doesn’t show up on the tooltips – does it actually do what it’s supposed to, or is it another nonfunctional trait for Engineers?

By the trait’s description, it’s supposed to increase damage and range for rifle/flame/net/rocket/thumper turrets as well as mortars (they’re also classified as turrets), whenever it actually does, I don’t have the slightest idea.

Have you tried it out against practice dummies or anything?

Heard some people saying it is bugged, but can never be sure. Pick up a rifle, stand on 1200 range (border between out of range and hit with rifle).. then do some steps backwards and place down a rocketturret.. then see if he can hit.

Hello,i currently use this trait.
It increase the damage output,it’s sure(i use this trait only for this).

About the range,is not effective on mortar(as the other one trait that make elxir X last longer and mortar range encreased).

About turrets range,is is effective on flame tower.
But,i don’t notice any different in the rifle and rocket tower range.
We need more test to eventually report it as a bug.

Oh well… Then the description isn’t clear enough, because the mortar is classified as a turret and should gain all buffs from turret-aligned traits.

Mortar isn’t classified as a turret in the sense of the Engineer turrets. It’s a manned turret there for non of the “Turret” aligned traits effect it since it’s a different class of turret.

That n Turret/Gadget etc will only effect the skills with that “Heading”

Rocket Turret
Turret. Something something something

Personal Battering Ram
Gadget. Something something something

And from what I know the Mortar does NOT have a Turret detail.

It’s skilltype is turret. It’s not written in the description though.
For reference: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Turret

Everything in the wiki is not accurate.

Rocketturrets and rifle turrets dont get extra range atm… this is quite sad for wvw .. i really hope they adress such a thing soon.

I tested it in the sPvP a while back, it affected the rifle turret’s normal attack, seemd to enhance it to maybe 1500. but when I used the over drive it stopped fireing until the overdrive was over.

Granted there are alot of traits that work (or at least semi-work) in the sPvP that dont outside of the sPvP.

@VakarisJ … wow.
