Guild Wars 2

These turrets improvements [March Patch] are nothing but sand in the eye imho. This isn’t fooling anyone. Well, they fooled me a few months ago with the biggest lie of all: Most of you may know the Engineer trailer.

The video is supposed to be a gameplay trailer. If I knew that at level 80 having unlocked all the necessary traits in inventions a turret couldn’t kill a single devourer I would have chosen a different class

Also they do not fire as fast, or fire at enemies as a matter of fact… they tend to get distracted and shoot at rocks..

1. I hate rocks, so it works our for me.

2. Also that one-shot mine looks awesome, wish I had it.

3. Her rifle shoots slower but it sounds waaaay better and looks like it actually does damage at range. I want it.

I could say our profession page is quite misleading too.

I mean, those aren’t exactly what i would call “medium armors”.
And neither we can “pack up and move turrets at will”.

Yea, turrets just suck. It has been discussed about for ages here, and I think everyone (seriously, everyone) agrees that they suck atm.

If an engineer picks up their own turret, there should be no cooldown.

Now THAT would be an improvement!

Rifle should pierce…. flame should be far more impressive….

This class has so much potential, and so little follow through.

Look closely and you’ll see that armor is the 42k karma medium armor ^^ From the game itself.

They seriously need to make a drastic change to how the game mechanics for turrets work for engies. Right now they are just not wurth it. Im afraid they just gonna keep wreching other cool builds that actually do work in pvp, until all skills are so crap, turrets are finally “wurth it” …

Forget HgH Nades!

Here comes ADHD Turrets!

Did you guys notice the picture for the advertisement of a GW2 Trial?
On it is a character with medium armor, wielding a Predator. It must be an Engi, right? I mean: what other medium-armor-wearing, rifle-wielding class uses sniper rifles? Last I checked; Engis use a Blunderbuss. >.>

Turret engineers should be treated as a genuine pet spec. They perform the same way a pet does and take more damage. Rangers can spec into bm and have their pets hit like trucks. Hell, they do alright damage without the heavy point investment. Why then, when engineers spec into their turrets, they still do barely anything?
