Face it, the naga razer is the only thing that makes this class bareable

I use a Logitech G700 but don’t really use many of the buttons like I did in other mmos.

1-4 (MB4 is my 5)
F (Heal)
Q,E,R (Utility)
Shift-F (Elite)
Z,X,C,V (F1-F4)
MB5 (Interact/Finish)

I mained a warlock in that other mmo and had roughly 45-50 keybinds once you start adding the modifieres/pet macros etc. Not much in this game gives me much trouble keybind wise but ele/eng have the most.

What's the point/purpose of the bomb kit?

Nades are fine in spvp, aoe bleed, poison combo field, blind,chill w/ 1500 range traited. I dual kit them with bomb kit and it works really well as a condi build. They aren’t hard to use once you get used to them, specially with fast cast ground targeting,

Here is one of the two condi builds I use: I use elixir H (cleaning formula 409) trait if I am going against a condi heavy team it’s really useful against a good (necro)epidemic condi spreading team. If not then I go back to my usual Healing Turret.

This is the other build I use which is much more defensive but still able to put out strong condi dmg/cc. Works really well 1v1 and is great for holding node defense. (Teldo’s staple condi build)

I don’t like it very much and nothing about it seems op to me for pretty much the same reasons that others have stated.

I would rather use these condi builds (Referring to PvP as well, I don’t PvE in GW2 much as of now)

the big ol’ bomb toolbelt skill is also hilarious to use, it always hits hard and it sends people flying. Playing against my friend whos a thief in sPVP made him rage everytime I used it.

Haha yeah it is pretty funny specially if you manage to land it on a big group. I don’t have problems with thief’s w/ all the blinds, it’s hilarious catching there pistolwhip while a confusion is up and they blow themselves up.

I run both nade/bomb kit on one of my condi builds, you can stack a lot of AoE conditions fairly quick. Having 2 confusions (pistol 3, bomb 3), 3 blinds (pistol 3, bomb 4, nade 3) along with freeze nade, big ol’ bomb offers so much AoE CC. In my builds that I don’t take nades I almost always have bomb kit, it’s amazing. In these builds I usually replace nades with flamethrower purely for the CC (knockback 3, blind 5). The only build where I don’t take bomb kit is my rifle build, which I don’t run much anymore it’s just inferior to the condi builds for spvp team comps imo.

If you're doing pvp, use the medkit people

Ummmm….No. Healing Turret has a combo field, medkit does not. I drop healing turret, I get healed for 6-8k depending on + healing gear (same heal as Elixer H or Medkit btw). Then, I self-destruct the turret almost immediately, activating the blast combo finisher on healing turret’s water field. This causes an AoE heal for 4-6k and regen for me and ALL of my nearby allies.

If I take Accelerant Packed Turrets, Every time I use the combo finisher (which is every time I use the heal – every 20 seconds) I get a large AoE knockback almost equivalent to using Big ’Ol Bomb.

So to some up:
Healing Turret (20 s recharge)
-Standard Heal Amount
-AoE Combo-field Heal (roughly 70% of Standard heal for you and ALL nearby allies)
-AoE Knockback (If traited with Accelerant Packed Turret)
-Recharge at 25% Health with 15 in Invention.

Healing Kit (20s recharge)
-Standard Heal
-3 Weak 1k Single Target Heals
-Remove 1 Condition
-Swiftness
-Recharge at 25% with 15 Points in Tools

Personally, I like having my mandatory healing skill do double duty as an excellent CC. I also like being able to activate a combofield to give a significant heal to ALL my allies.

This is exactly why you take Healing Turret over anything else currently. I use medkit all the time but it’s at the start of the match for 5 and running between nodes with 5. I immediately switch back to turret once I drop 5. When defending I sometimes quickly switch to medkit drop everything and switch back to turret. I have even played around with mines using toolbelt mine ability and the mine itself you can get a crazy AoE heal out of the combo with either turret toolbelt or the turrets water combo field. When using the turret just drop it and as soon as the first regen buff tics pick it back up, it has an extremely short cd. Healing turret is amazing if used properly, just dropping it and leaving it doesn’t do it justice.

I am in the same boat as you unfortunately. I have been unable to play since the game released. I finally got a customer service to respond to ticket and they stated that I would now have access to my account and I was given as generated password. I changed the password went to log in and my account was still banned. This is so frustrating and I did not pay $59.99 to play with your customer support team. I want to play with my friends and family and I have been blocked from doing so since the 28th. Two of my tickets were immediately closed with no feedback or info. My third ticket was answered and I was given false hopes being told that my issue was taken care of and I would have access, they were wrong.
