Guild Wars 2

Josh Davis.6015:

Hi all,

As a follow-up to my post from last Friday, I wanted to give you a run-down of the changes we’re looking to make to the engineer’s turrets:

• Engineer turrets will be able to be critically hit.
• Engineer turrets will be able to be affected by conditions.

Considering most minions/summoned pets are already susceptible to the aforementioned changes we feel that this is a fair way to bring turrets more inline with the rest of the game. These changes should only slightly affect the viability of turrets in PvE/WvW (low creature crit chance/condition application), while providing for more counterplay against turrets.

We’d love to hear your feedback on these changes. Feel free to respond below with your comments.

These are great changes and the sooner they are implemented, the better. I’d also like to propose a change which makes the turrets despawn after the engineer moves away from them a certain range, similar to how spirit rangers who do not trait into Spirits Unbound will have their spirits disappear.

Just curious if anyone has tested the +10% dmg from fiery wrath vs traiting inner fire for more fury up time? Reason being I could redistribute those 10 points from zeal to get bubble on rez and fury on burning?

Hey man,

I’m available to play usually after 7-8 PM PST as I do engineering work during the day and tutor at night.

I have roughly 1000 games total (70% team q, 30% solo q) and am pretty solid at what I do. Guard is my only 80 so I know the class really well and do a bit of WvW/PvE as well. I usually play altruistic healing bunker with pure of voice but I have been running alot of DPS guard recently and can run any other build you’d like. I can’t really commit to a strict schedule but I would be down to do some games.

BTW my guard name is Macdizzla

Staff 3, save yourselves and retreat used in proper rotation can give you almost permaswiftness

The new map makes bunkering more fun! Plus everyone loves guard for the tons of stability I bring to the table.

I like the cannon room idea… instagibs for everyone!
