Terrormancer*
But you sounded cute, so love goes out to you <3

“im gonna break down what you said below;

no they cant. The longest range turret’s are rocket and rifle turrets and they have a range of 1000ft and to top it off if the take the rifled barrel trait for extra range they got no shields so happy days. (Dat longbow ranger ((or staf ele or anything with long range aoe or lots of cc or a mesmer with greatsword)) can sit back and control the fight all day long and rangers have this thing calld a cat wich does really nice damage and rips turrets apart.)

What i say is “if they are using the shields to lock down your ranged attacks simply bait out the turrets then attack properly during the breaks in rotation.” At no point did i say try and bait the engineer off the point and on top of this later in my posts that you conveniently //snipped// i gave plenty of examples of ways to deal with the engie. Perhaps you should read them.

The joke is your entire post."

They don’t need the four second shield if they’re beating the kittens out of you from 1500 range with armor plating and regeneration. And basically to beat one you have to (YES THIS IS AN ON POINT FIGHT BECAUSE ANET LIKES CONQUEST) let them hold the cap while you try to kill AI first? Wow, umm, Q_Q. If you think, the pet of a ranger, will kill a turret, before six turrets kill that cat, you’re joking. (or you have to over commit to the point with a team to kill AI, once again QQ)
Also if you attack during the four second interval the turrets don’t, you have the engineer facerolling and or tanking your 4ish attacks before you get rekt’d by turrets again. A thief attacks a turret, a thief gets hit by five more, a thief dies.

I read your posts. I didn’t watch the videos or read anything about OE though~ Your affective strategy is giving up the point and hoping to win 4v5s. So assuming Legacy map, bunker guardians in mid so it’s always contested, and you’re 5 man mid while a thief keeps decaping your home, making it a 4v4 mid. All whilist you have no point gains.

This is a QQ post. Please feel free to leave if it’s too funny for you.

“You guys exaggerate way to much. Turret builds are not as bad as you paint them to be. There are a number of ways to kill or weaken a turret engineer such long ranging it. you only need an effective range of 1200 to deal with them comfortably and if they are using the shields to lock down your ranged attacks simply bait out the turrets then attack properly during the breaks in rotation.”

First off, if you can hit the engineer, the turrets can hit you. (Maybe longbow ranger, but you’re kidding right?) Second, if you have some secret bait that lures turret engineers off a point (they own the entire time you’re “baiting” them, please share it with me). Third, the joke is you think turret engineers leave their point.

“well, apprently dev team thinks that bunkers sitting afk and letting AI do all the work is healthy pvp~”

“You know what can be done about turrets? You could run one of the many that counters it including but not limited to:

Staff Ele
Skullcracker
MM
Power Necro
Trap Ranger

You get the point.

People complain when the meta gets stale and then when something new comes around everyone wants it nerfed."

Like i said at the beginning of this thread, this is a QQ post. I understand there are ways to beat Turret engineers. That’s not the problem. The problem is the turrets. That they ARE ABLE to defeat players with panic faceroll from the engineer. Why does AI have to be so strong?

“I’m sorry but if you are getting killed bu turrets while this engi is afk, then you should probably just stick to PvE.”

I’m sorry i couldn’t find you on the leaderboards top 1000? Like, you’ve never even kitten been there. So maybe you should go try playing the game instead of pretending you know something on the forums.

Also, you beat an engineer ON A NECROMANCER? NO WAY, PLEASE TELL ME MORE…

Turrets are WAY too overpowered in a 1v1 scenerio for the amount of work the actual player has to put forth.

My 1v1 was in Graveyard at Legacy. So i pulled him to me, did my combo, his turrets stunned me. Cool. I ran in and went ham, his turrets knocked me back. Cool. I naded him while LoS’ing turrets, he strafed. Cool.\

Don’t be a kitten. (btw i am typing kitten)

Hello :D

So, how much would have to be payed to have turrets removed from the game?
You think that’s a joke question, but really, just an estimate :)

Minions that cluster kitten everything? Fine. Phantasms that hit harder than the mesmer? Alright. Turrets that enable an engineer to /sleep while holding the point? HAHAHAHAHA, no thanks.

I like getting queues with two engineers on the other team thinking, “They’re probably celestial rifle or like bomb/nade..” then walk onto a point and have 100* turrets attack me while the player is keyboard turning. But don’t worry, i should be able to win against turrets that have a longer attack range than my nades…

“Why don’ you just focus the turrets?”
Have you ever heard of a healing signet? Q_Q

Just another QQ post on the forums about why we’re never going esports.

The type of Mesmer you want to be, determines what skills/traits/rotations you’ll need to learn about.

I’d give Countless (clone death build) a look on his youtube channel “BringYourFriends”.

As for tips/tricks:

1.) Learning to recognize certain animations of your opponent’s powerful skills, then DODGING THEM, would be very helpful.

2.) Reading about combo fields/finishers on the GW2Wikia will help a lot.

3.) I’d suggest, after finding your build, making sure you’ve adjusted anything to make it work for YOU.

4.) Learning the maps/secondary objectives

5.) Distortion is your friend :3

Good luck!

If you want a torment build, i’ roll a Thief.

It has the most torment at it’s disposal. Through the p/d dual skill, torment venom, torment sigils/runes.

I’ve run it a couple time in sPvP and it isn’t “optimal” for team play, but it is very fun. You can solo lord/creatures easily and 1v1s with players are fantastic.

Just don’t be a troll, because it’s a very annoying build to fight :/

Mesmer!

The ability to confuse your opponents and throw them off with an army of exploding you? Butterflies please :3
