Curious if a turret build can be used for wvw roaming and small scale things? Is it the same setup as for spvp? Strengths and weaknesses?

For the most part I just wanna try it out, so I can better understand my class after the long break I took.

Personally I find it works for tower defense in some cases. As for small scale things, the enemy simply moves out of range.

It´s maybe not thaaat competitive in comparison to other (non-turret) builds, but it can be funny in 1vs1 up to 1vs3.

Pros:
-a kitten lot of useful boons
-good cc (also when you are stuned)
-some burst

Cons:
-you are not that mobile
-no “out of jail”-card
-you have to handle long cds

I just love the rocket and wanted to create a build around.

Use Rocket and rocketturret (especially the OC) in melee range. Then you can create nice CC-Burst-Chains.

But like I said, maybe not that competitive to other builds. Especially in group fights I had a hard time when getting focused running no TK, BK or RB.
