Guild Wars 2

is it me or is this trait bugged i ve noticed turrets rarely activate their shields while in combat , outside of combat they work just fine anyone else noticed this?

PS: this has been happening since before the anti turret nerf

I have this problem too. It worked when they release it but somewhere around wintersday it broke.

Yeah I’ve noticed this too. Seems like it has a 50% chance of working or not. Which kinda sucks because I use it to reflect ranger pewpew, so when it doesn’t work it leaves me standing out in the open feeling awkward

Yes its bugged, though I’d say 70% of the time it works.

I wonder….when you use an elite with runeset that has special effects on using that elite, it’s said it can be blocked by cc’ing the character right after casting the elite (i think there’s 0.5-1s window between finished elite cast and special rune effect kicking in).

Could it be that fortified turrets follow similar paradigm and ccing engi before shield pops stops it entirely? Someone should check that out.

well in my case its not a matter of being cc’ed when loading up a turret , the shield fails to load even on PVE only happens during combat .

but yeah thats another thing to test now

i guess i ll record it a few times.

then again why bother with turrets anymore their only use for me is detonating them for knockbacks.
