On the bright side if turrets not only get bug fixes but some buffs turret builds look like they could be really fun. Sucky part of that is even in a full turret build you can’t fit all the traits

Being incapable of fitting all the traits is both good and bad, I think.
Good: It means variance, even within full Turret builds. People will adjust the build to fit themselves, and this will lead to enrichment of a currently kind of static build type. Also, I can’t help but notice that the Experimental Turret trait is very similar to player suggestions about Turrets giving boons, which seems to indicate a possibility that they’re listening to us (and given the current state of Turrets, I can’t blame them for not wanting to say anything; even the bugfixes are irksome, because they’re being held back).
Bad: It means having to choose between things like Rifled Turret Barrels vs Fortified Turrets, between Accelerant-Packed vs Deployable, and Experimental Turrets is in a completely bonkers traitline to begin with – Turret Engineers desirous of Experimental will need to go full into a traitline that, until this point, has had absolutely nothing for them. This only exacerbates the simple expense of a full-Turret build.
One way or another, I think Autotool and Metal-Plating should be consolidated, even if it means a nerf to the already-useless regeneration feature of Autotool Installation; as it is, I’ll literally never take Autotool Installation over anything else due to Turrets’ terrible survivability and my own tendency to Detonate them for one reason or another.
I know I’ll be mucking about with a dual-pistol hybrid power/condition build for the first time in forever, in any case.

Well said. I appreciate the build diversity aspect, but let’s be real these are 1 type of utility out of 4. Off the top of my head I can think of no other profession that cannot even trait for 1 out of 4 types of utilities. Usually builds don’t have just one type of utility slotted, you want to at least be able to supplement your build with other skills. For turret engineers this is not really an option, there are no points left.
I also agree on the Elixir tree… wtf? It’s like they didn’t think past “boons = elixirs”. It fits terribly into that tree, at least there are good general traits to choose but still… 30 points for literally 1 trait that can affect turrets is messed up.
Still way better than what power mesmer (shatter in particular) will be getting. Like…nothing.
I will defintely playing my engi more after that patch. Seems like i’ll be playing Rifle/Gadgets/FT power, since condi builds are lame and i like the rifle play style. Also i get to use Rocket Boots and Slick Shoes at the same time
