Guild Wars 2

I wonder if Anet are thinking about doing something with the Mortar, it was a pretty cool idea for the Engineer but its not really usable in any situation, believe me I’ve tried XD. No one really talks about it so I thought I’d be some interest into it.
It does have some gd skills individually, but because of the mortar being such an easy target it can’t be used in WvW or PvP also in PvE the dmg is to low to be used there.
I think the mortar should have increased health and toughness and maybe increase the dmg and decreasing the cooldowns. Any ideas guys?

It actually has been discussed quite a few times. A month or so ago a few of us discussed it.

It hasn’t been talked about much on the profession side of things lately though. I hope that something will be done about it…. eventually.

Not to mention that you can just use the grenade kit with Grenadier to do more damage, at the same range and while moving.

The only benefit I ever saw this used for was its #4 skill to drop ice fields on your allies ramming the door and using blast finishers on them to stack with iron hide, protection, and the additional Frost Armor to make your ppl on the rams nearly invulnerable to physical damage (best used with a guardian with signet of mercy or a warrior with dolyak signet and heal sig.)
