Guild Wars 2

I am running healing turret. So the f1 skill shows a small regen and water field. I should be able to hit shield 4, hold and then release to blast in the water heal for AOE healing.

But I can never get it to work..

I like my build (dire condition build.) I run rocket boots, elixir S and elixir gun. Works great. But using healing turret just never seems to give me the burst healing I read about.

ANyone help?

use f1 then immediately mash 4. it has a tiny duration you have to be fast. you can also press f1 and immediately rocket boots.
the healing turret burst heal comes from placing the turret, overcharging, and then detonating it immediately, so 6 > 6 > f1 in rapid succession

Ah ok.. rocket boots will work and heal me even as it blows out of the water field?

That would be easier then the shield 4 (plus I like to save that to knock folks off of stomps)..

Thank you for the tips.

yes rocket boots will heal you when you land if you used it inside a water field. you can also use it and land in a water field to heal (jumping into healing spring, etc.)

Also you don’t hold shield 4 then release to make it work, you double tap it fast for the blast finisher. Often I will place healing turret, overcharge it, tap f1 for first blast then double tap shield 4 and get even more healing before the field is gone.

If you’re running Elixir Gun, Rocket Boots, and Elixir S, then you have multiple blast finishers there easily. When using Rocket Boots, you only have to pass through the field at some point to get the blast finisher. So if you really wanted to make use of that Water Field you could…….
⁶ Put down healing turret, ⁶ Overcharge turret, [F1] Detonate Turret,[4,4] Magnetic Shield + Magnetic Inversion blast, [Elixir Gun-4] Acid Bomb out, [Rocket Boots] Rocket yourself through the remaining water field.
