Guild Wars 2

I play an Engi with double pistols, I would swap to grenades for long range – great for mobs, and throw down turrets in front of me or up on rocks etc before triggering mobs.

Think of the Troll in Honor of the Waves I could stand high up and throw the turrets down next to him. Or the Elite crate drop I could throw in the best place to support my team mates if we had trouble anywhere.

Now:
Grenades have a reduce range so I’d have to use the elite mortar skill instead, which is nice better than the old one, but I lose the supply drop crate – we all have to compromise fair enough but no elite turrets if I want the range.
( I know there’s a riffle but I never liked that, there were more useful skills on grenades)

Turrets have lost the ability to be thrown!!!!! I now have to run around a battle to drop my turrets in the right place, this means no instant support to my friends where needed, ok it’s doable in the open but sometime in dungeons you just can’t get to the right place .

I can put up with the loss of range on my grenades but come on 2 major nerfs!! I thought the shake up of the skills was going to make things easier, combining more traits together but we keep losing things.

I can’t be the only one who misses throwing turrets around. Please, pretty please, please with a cherry on top consider adding this ability back to turrets

Yeah that grenade nerf range was a punch in our faces more or less , but the farther you go the more inaccurate your aiming become with grenades sadly.

And yeah feels like kits are now more recommend ,since they nerfed turrets , because of pvp.
Also i never used the ability to throw turrets around only supply crate , but since its got “nerfed” in my opinion , because of the turrets nerfs + they go down freaking insane , if you didnt placed them well somewhere.It’s worthless for me atleast ,because if you use turrets you need them for dmg or support or whatever you need them for , but if they destroyed you got your rifle or pistole or shield and thats kinda kitten up to be honest.

They are nice for keep enemies busy for a short time , but for me they getting destroyed so easily , that i switched to kits and so far im happy. I enjoy my new mobility also with mortar kit.More combo fields and a awesome toolbelt skill.

Well in my opinion, the took away from gadgets value as well, when they eliminated the one gadget trait we had and put some pseudo version of it in.

Do they just hate engineer or are we seeing alot more problems coming from these “changes”? I liked the throw turret skill alot for clearing walls of those pesky players and arrow carts. I hope that if they make turrets mobile that they make them have the ability to stay in place or be mobile. Throw turrets kind of fixed alot of problems we had with engi and now without them they have heaped even more problems on the class.
