You don’t know what hyperbole means do you? Hyperbole is exaggerated, was there any exaggeration in my math? No, there was not. Advice for the future, use vocabulary you actually know.
What does it matter it matter whether you addressed stability? I addressed stability because everything in your post had already been addressed in previous posts, which you would know if you had read through the thread before posting, and the argument you were providing was “It isn’t bad, for no reason in particular”. So I addressed your ambiguity with the only reason left, also illegitamite.
The positioning and radius of the knockbacks are moot points, as they are more than large enough to cover the average point without any room to avoid them. The trait investment is also a completely pointless addition to the argument, as are the weapon skills mentioned, because the weapon skills are not what push you an extra three knockbacks over normal, the traits investment is.
And most importantly, the cooldowns and uptime, which you did mention, are completely pointless so long as the only counter to them has a significantly lower uptime, which is what I stated.
I don’t give a crap whether you addressed stability. And if you really “don’t care”, why did you post in the first place? And why did you get your giblets in such a twist from being responded to?
Yes, I do know what ‘hyperbole’ means, and I wasn’t accusing you of it, but rather the original poster. My last lines weren’t meant to be a summary of my response to you, if that’s what you took them as. Somebody says ‘almost no cooldowns,’ and ‘permaknockback,’ I’m going to point out that there’s not really such a thing available to Turrets, at least.
I’m still lost on why you pick the one person who didn’t mention stability, who was talking about cooldowns instead (which actually hadn’t been mentioned by anyone else, as far as I can tell). The nerf, yes, people had mentioned. So? People repeat points all the time. It’d be nice if every single thing said were unique, but that’s not likely to happen. Why not ask one of the people who did mention stability? Could’ve asked them how cooldowns compared to stability uptime. Odds are, they’ve put more thought into it than I have, as my thought line about stability mostly goes ‘I only have that on a handful of skills and like none of them.’ I hadn’t noticed you actually state anything, aside from numbers about how long you can have stability and an opinion about how it screws up your offensives and prevents you from getting some of the ‘more interesting’ options.
I’m not going to make a crack about vocabulary. I am, however, still going to suggest you direct that question to somebody who actually concerns themselves with stability.
The bit about the other build thing? That was completely off-topic, and both of us know it. Let’s not bother.
The only reason I replied to the OP is…I like Turrets. I do. Period. I’ve liked them since before Day 1. They were part of the reason I bought the game – and they suck most places in the game besides sPvP, where the only game mode is exactly what turrets are good for: Holding a point. I don’t want them getting nerfed in the rest of the game, where they’re not particularly good, because they’re actually good at what they’re designed for in a mode that disproportionately rewards their area-denial design. APT being tuned down is perfectly understandable (it did get changed from Master to Adept and left otherwise unaltered, as far as I can recall) and I really dislike the idea of nerfing the skillset further because people keep complaining and making claims about permaknockback. They’re not a very effective skillset to begin with, much to my chagrin, except in a mode that I’ve never had any interest in; even in PvE, there are some areas where fully-traited Turrets can be destroyed in a single blow from a regular mook, and in the newest areas, the emphasis on positioning pretty much leaves them useless except for the Healing Turret.
My giblets being in a twist actually had nothing to do with you, and I suppose I should apologize for the vehemence of my response. Sorry about that. Happens sometimes, despite my best efforts to the contrary.
