Guild Wars 2

Is there a Spvp version of this build I can try before, spending all the gold to make it work in WvW?

MonMalthias.4763:

There could also be Traits that leverage Turret Detonation and Toolbelt skills as well.

Accelerant Packed Turrets is a good start, but it’s too high up in the Explosives line to justify the 20 point cost on top of 30 points for an all-in Turret build.

I’m thinking something like;
Turret Toolbelt Adapters (Name doesn’t matter)
Your Turret Toolbelt abilities have additional effects. Your Turret Detonation skills deal extra damage and Daze nearby foes (240 radius) for 1 second.

• Surprise Shot inflicts 5 stacks of Vulnerability for 5 seconds
• Net Attack also Dazes a target for 2 seconds
• Rumble also Pushes foes back to the edge of the radius (240 units)
• Throw Napalm also applies Cripple to foes struck in its radius for 3 seconds
• Regenerating Mist also cleanses 1 condition in a 240 radius AOE
• Rocket also Burns the target for 3 seconds

Alternatively, there could also be a trait like:
Turret Rescue System

• Picking up turrets grants a bonus to cooldown reduction equal to % missing health on top of the 25 % pickup bonus.

Or

Overcharge Refinement
Overcharging Turrets grants them 25% bonus damage reduction and 50% AOE damage reduction. Overcharged Turrets self-destruct after overcharge completes. Turrets self-destructed in this way have 25% placement CDR.

TL:DR:
There’s a ton of ways to make Turrets a complete kit, as it were, without having to make them Mobile. Making them mobile doesn’t solve their underlying issues; which is niche application in a utility slot starved profession, fragility in PVE and single target lockdown focus. They are absolutely disgusting in duels, but fall over in PvE and in the presence of more than 1 target. Changes to their toolbelt to complete their kit and to leverage off existing utility can go a long way.

You have my vote. However, I don’t like the destroyed on overcharge. What if the 25% bonus damage reduction and 50% AOE damage reduction only last a 5 to 8 sec.

To OP, having the turrets float around you is a good idea. But what about the range of Flame turret? You would never use it . Unless you wanted to be that close.

Other than that, good ideas.

I hope they fix some bugs with turrets at the same time.

Kurieg.4158:

Do you have an ascended pistol? You have ascended weapon/shield selected on the skill builder.

Do you have any buffs from WvW when you took the screenshot?

Darn, Thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea they where already in the builder, I will change and update.

Yes, had a little bit of a health buff. But nothing that would effect Damage and Condition damage.

Ive been trying to make a change in my build. But I cant seem to find an Accurate Skill builder.

Here is the build on en.gw2skills.net:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqOlIqiYnpSVlEZkCSrzCzA/kQxC+o4toLA-jECB4MAIOg5RFRjtaqIasKZQaUDp2MGyjYI1A-w

Plus a screen shot of my stats in game. (Attachment). Yes I do know that my back piece, Ascended Sclerite Karka shell. Is not included in the online build. What Im most concerned about is the difference in power and condition damage, along with armor.
Also:
Does the WvW stats apply to hero page? Because even with those it still does not add up.

TL:DR – Looking for the most Accurate skill builder I can find, because things are not adding up.

Ps. Sorry for the grammar and spelling. I am an Engineer. lolz

Edit: Update with Exotic weapons.

a t s e.9614:

- Fix the broken necro crap high defense 3 fears 2 invul skills 4k armor 30k hp
high burst trough condiiton
- fix thief perma stealth perma blind non sense
- fix engi that has everything like everything to win a fight that no ther class can win

Stop reading after that. Really? Just. . . Really.

Anymras.5729:

Considering that turret-based skill interruptions (Accelerant-Packed Turret detonations, Thumper, Rocket and Net turret overcharges) don’t count toward the Skill Interrupter trait, I feel it unlikely that they’ll trigger the Rune of Perplexity.

It’s possible that I’m wrong, though, if anybody happens to have a set and be willing to use Turrets for a minute.

Well that would make sence.

Can anyone test if it work with the turret knockback as well? Be interesting to see.

MrForz.1953:

Well, the armor looks good. Too bad that as usual, Charr gets the short end of the stick.

I’ve had to mix that with some Aetherblade armor parts to get him to look actually… armored rather than ‘textured’.

What are the gauntlets?

Did the Change to Chaos Armor effect this build at all?

dricboylan.9812:

How do you put skills on your mouse, is it because you have the mouse with the numbers on the side?

You just change the key bindings in the options. I have a 13 button mouse, but you can get 5 button ones. To be honest, I dont even use all 13. I used a 5 button mouse when I played WoW and it got me by just fine.

Here it is: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Logitech+-+G700s+Rechargeable+Laser+Gaming+Mouse+-+Black/8785461.p?id=1218893504509&skuId=8785461#tab=overview

It haves 4 thumb buttons, the top two, GW2 recognizes, but the bottom two, I had to use the software that came with the mouse to have them “act” as a keyboard press for example Ctrl-C. Then in GW2 I bound my healing skill to Ctrl-C, so that when I hit the button on the mouse I heal.

Hope that helps. Message me if you want to know more.

Ah figures why you said engies are slow , also clicking is your friend never bind skills to your mouse . 10 in Tools for Speed Kits will have you leading the pack , gl out there on Engie

I complete disagree, I have my auto attack, loot, heal skill, weapon swap, and a utility skill all on my mouse. While everything else is bound around WSAD. Its too hard reaching for that #5. lol
