Guild Wars 2

I was thinking it would be awesome if we got a cool new elite skill sometime in the future. So my idea is of a Twisted watchwork creature as an elite pet the follows you around. Kind of like the Flesh golem but for an engineer. What do you guys think?

the game doesn’t need any more ai controlled minions. ever go into a match against a mesmer, spirit ranger, and mm necro? garbage like that makes me glad turrets and spirit weapons aren’t viable in any way shape or form.

Awful story-wise, awful gameplay-wise, awful aesthetic-wise and pretty random as well.

Aside from looking at it stereotypically alongside Turrets, if it was a minion, it’d be unique as a skill for Engineer, but may not fit in with the concept of current Traits, Skills and such… It would introduce a new concept to Engineer from the perspective of mobile infantry-something that would not fit the concept of being an Engineer in this game.

This would arguably make the Engineer overpowered as they are designed to be independent even with (what is now deemed as weak and largely pointless and immobile) Turrets.

I think if it was a sentry bot (a four-legged Turret which moves to an enemy so that it is 600 away and relocates when it goes out of its 1,200 range) then I’d spend Skill Points and attention on it. If it were a Minion, I think it’d be a waste of Skill Points.

I have to agree with ellesee…no more AI controlled “pets.” I’d rather an elite gadget or kit.

got idea for elite, useless like our mortar, pogostick kit
