Guild Wars 2

why do engineers have only 1 "siege weapon "ability? I mean, engineers are master inventors basically, so why don’t they have a list of abilities related to siege weapons?
if engineers can use turrets but cant use “mini siege” weapons (same siege weapons as WVW ones but slightly smaller and less range on AOE ones)they why let engineers use only the mortar? and if you do make more siege weapons make them use f5-f10 and remove mortar from elite skills, only you have to unlock their usage with karma and coin.

Alternatively, turn the mortar into a Siege Kit. Still occupies the elite slot, but gives a bit of flexibility in the kind of weapon to drop.

YES. Now the skill could be useful. However, it should be that once you place a siege weapon down, you can’t pick it up or change siege weapons until the next skill cast. You know, to keep it balanced.

actually that may work, however I think it should be able to be destroyed or set at anytime(no cooldown) and you could set 1 of each siege weapon(and they need to have good range as posted below)

I’d honestly settle for the mortar not having crap damage due to the slow rate of fire and actually having a range to make it viable (1200 doesn’t cut it).

that would also be nice
