Depends on the application. Zerging, you’d probably want something else.

…also, it’s ‘turrets,’ not ‘torrents.’ Torrents are in RIFT.

Torrits are not so good for wvw because of the constant mobility it requires. You are far better off with a flamtower or exiler gun.

Also tirrets often die in zerg pretty fast. The only hope would be to put the terruts on the edge of a fight. Heh – seriously, they are called turrets :P

Tourettes, aptly named because aside from using them on a point in pvp they will make you curse at random times.

Turrets are bad in wvw because people can just walk away from them, and in bigger fights simply get aoe or cleaved down before they do anything. You sacrifice a ton of utility or damage just to use them, and when turrets are used they are often just overcharged and blown up immediately for blast finisher, though some have good toolbelt skills.

Besides healing turret, I would only put one more turret in as if you put two you’re sacrificing too many kits and other utilities. Best choices are thumper turret which is the only one that can survive a big fight if it gets ignored long enough, and contains a stunbreaker on the toolbelt. The aoe launch and occasional cripple can be useful. If you take experimental turrets, it can also occasionally grant protection, and also causes healing turret to grant vigor.

Overcharged flame turret can also give aoe blind and a smoke field which could be useful.

If you do want to continue using turrets, accelerant packed turrets can help quite a bit just to annoy the enemy, especially with supply crate.

But overall these things are rather niche and you’re best off pursuing other things in most cases.
