downed state and turrets
As stated before in previous threads, Mesmer pets aren’t actually pets per say. They’re spells that take a physical form. Don’t believe me? Which other class in the game summons pets from their normal Weapon Skills?
Besides that point, I’m not sure if Turrets/Minions die when you go down as I never slot for Turrets. It sure does sound like a glitch though.
um, turrets are still alive when youre downed…
They don’t seem to do anything, even if they’re still theoretically live.
I’ll have to die some and test this out, but I think the turrets don’t die at least.
Additionally, Aristio – no class should have pets that go away when downed. Mesmer illusions (whether pet or not) don’t, neither do ranger pets or necro pets.
Well it is bad to compare them to mesmer illusions anyway. They function completely different. Turrets will attack any enemy, while illusions are specific to the enemy they are cast on. They die when destroyed, the enemy they were cast on dies, or if a 4th one is cast, regardless of what the mesmer does beyond that.
if u had that 2 dogs skill they would still attack while u r downed too
Yes, it does seem reasonable that the turrets should continue to attack until destroyed.

Its not like im comparing. It because it was on a fight with a mesmer that i first noticed this. Which i hadnt noticed b4.
If you say this doesnt happen anymore then its been fixed, but i wanted to ask just in case i might do a net turret-kit build 4 PVP instead of kits/elixir.
I haven’t noticed this. I do notice when I go down, often the enemies attack my turrets and kill them. My turrets are still up and running if I rally, however. I’ll die a few times to check it out.
