Guild Wars 2

Turrets have been broken like this for over a month, at least the overcharge and fire rate bugs. I really hope they fix this soon, it makes any kind of turret build pretty much impossible at the moment.

I figured I’d also mention that if you use the deployable turrets trait and overcharge a turret while it is still in the air deploying it wastes the cooldown and the overcharge never takes effect when it lands.

You might have trouble getting answer at all if you hide the topic in a list of other bugs. They love to use that as an excuse to ignore a post.

Hey, that’s why the title is ‘Turret Bugs and Claw of Jormag exploit.’ I kind of expect them to ignore Turret bugs, at this point, to be perfectly honest; they have until now (or at least shown extremely little interest in so much as acknowledging the Engineer’s most function-challenged skillset’s issues).

And that’s why the hook (in fact, the only reason I expect any staff member to read this post) is that there’s exploitable issues mentioned. Anybody who takes the time to read this post will find the major exploit mentioned – and that means that anybody who takes the time to read this post could very well decide to use it.

It’s an astonishingly simple little thing, too. Anybody using it, until they fix it (and I have no doubt that they will, long before they ever address the turret bugs, though you can bet that I’ll take that as proof that they’re aware of this post), will be able to chip away at the Ice Shield, or the Claw itself (depending on the phase of the fight) with no risk to themselves from mobs, the environmental dangers, or the Claw.

If they decide to ignore it, fine. I’m not going to say that I’ll use this until they fix it (I ran across it by accident and think it’s stupid, as well as actually preferring to do things in big fights), but the knowledge is now available.

Bumping this because all of these things.
