Guild Wars 2

That is kind of annoying and true that turrets can become dangerously camp friendly if buffed too much. Maybe just give turrets the ability to be dropped like the supply crate elite skill. At least then we can place them out of harms way so enemies actually have to focus on them rather than just throw AOEs on us.

It would allow us the option to place the turrets how we want rather than just right on top of ourselves. I think it would be a nice tactical option for their placement if anything. I do like the sound of a small breakbar though, as the turrets could have a few seconds of free time before they took damage.

I feel like the turrets need a natural regen, aoe resistence or both. Nothing major but enough so that they can stay in the fight through random damage. It’s fine if they get destroyed due to being focused but when an enemy can shut down your turrets while still focusing on you it’s a little crazy, especially considering the cooldown on the turrets.

This happens regardless if you are turreting in pve or pvp, they just don’t last long enough to be worth blowing a cooldown for half the time unless you run around to put them in weird places.

I know turrets are not in a good place right now though i still find them useful and enjoyable but what’s not useful or enjoyable is when you blow a 20 + second cooldown only to see the turret destroyed shortly after by random damage that was not even aimed at them.

I do not think it makes much sense for me to equip a spanner and spank my turret for 10 seconds to heal it only for it to get destroyed shortly after. So i figure some natural regen for the turrets would help them last in battle so we can actually hold positions like we are meant to and we can take the spanner if we want to speed up the process.

I was just wandering what others thought on this, though i’m sure turrets have been talked about before, i don’t know if they used to have regen or not or if it has been suggested before.
