Guild Wars 2

Im really liking the idea of running a pure engineer build for levelling (im only level 34 at the moment) what traits should i invest in mainly for this? And should i use a rifle or dual pistols? Thanks

Ofc it is.
Test it,you just have to go for full invention tree traits.Major part of turret skills are aviable in that tree.
Also “tool” tree have some aviable trait for turrets.
I mostlly use turrets for PvE farm when i can stand in a zone.
If you have to move often,i suggest don’t put all turret on the ground,but use 1 turret per time.
Rifle and flame turrets have the shorter CD compared to the others(offensive turrets),so if u need a turret build with some mobility,use this 2 one per time.Try to Use your turrets the best and longer you can (aggro more mobs you can near a single turret one after one,when the zone is clear,then move on to another zone,and palce a second turret,and so on).

So,yes,turrets are good for PvE,but warning,they target the nearest target.Often,too much often,they will target someting else,and increase the number of mobs you have to fight.Also,if the mobs have stealth ability,turrets will target something else when the mob use the Hide.And agrro other mobs.Turrets are a bit stupid…keep this in mind.

A pain,real pain if u want to use them in WvW,hope the Anet company will re-invent something for this part too,cause,even with the best efford you can put in a turret based build for PvP or WvW,the game become too much static OR make your character/game experience feel like if something is missing.

I apologize for my english.
