Guild Wars 2

So, I remember doing a CoE dungeon a while ago and using deployable turret trait to see something, and I could put my turret upside down, on the ceiling. I didn’t check if I could be healed by it when it was up there. Has anyone tested and tried out to see if a healing turret could be placed up there and still give regen? heh.

It’s fine if this thread dies, I just wanted to know

If deployable turrets lets us place turrets on verticle surfaces or ceilings that trait just became 300% more useful.

I tested this goofing off in Lions Arch, you can indeed throw your turrets on walls and ceilings if they’re low enough, however, the circle of affect it gives you is also on the ceiling hell, if you can deploy turrets on walls close enough to hit things, and enemies won’t notice them and you can really start using them for some CC Should I delete this thread before it gets fixed >.>

the radius of effect is on circle shape, so it will grant regen to anyone above/below etc as long its within radius

and @Wuffles, don’t worry!!!! it won’t be nerfed :P the trait is glitch as it is!! Turrets can only be placed standing up! so if you throw any turret besides healing turret on roof, they will appear on the other side of the wall, causing all projectiles to be “obstructed”, very high chance of this happening too if you place on walls or trees! aka another useless RGN aka more than perfect for engineer!

I actually expect that bug to be fixed so that ceilings are fair play.

This would be SO COOL in PvE if it isn’t a bug, as Engineer turrets are in desperate need of (another) buff.

Hmm… Maybe once this is fixed, they should give turrets stealth abilities?

imo the only buff turrets need now are to be effected by our gear/weapon stats (toughness/ac, cond dmg, crit, and dmg range).

outside of that, some timer tweaks and other minor polishing would be nice.
