I want to use Turrets, am I stupid?

Personally, I prefer not using turrets. I think it’s very beneficial to get used to fighting without them. Get good at dodging CC and moving around a lot. Practice quickly swaping between kits, memorizing which key each ability is bound to and knowing when to use them.

Mobility>Turrents.

I use 3 kits, Toolkit, Bombs and Flamethrower. Tool kit for close up, Bombs for Bombs! You can decimate with AOE and even kite with them…and the flamethrower for Air Blast, Smoke vent and Flameblast, provides good CC and Flameblast will get you an advantage with initial dmg. I play very aggressively so I close in on most targets.

P/P and focus on Power and Precision. Don’t worry about Condition dmg. P/P abilities are still strong.

For healing I use Med Kit, F1…You won’t need big heals due to low HPs so don’t be afraid to heal at 60-70%, it recharges fast and if you’re being mobile you won’t need to use it much. Med kit is also good for mobility on the battlefield with swiftness and curing conditions…or just traveling and exploring.

You won’t be able to take a ton of damage so, again, it’s really important to get good at moving, strafing and dodging.

Most importantly, have fun…I find the above playstyle fun but play whatever you enjoy. Play around with different builds and see what works for you.

yeah…so that’s why I don’t bother with turrets.

I understand that some people take the game very seriously and are very competative and I see nothing wrong with it if that’s the way they want to play.
But I always thought games were made to be fun?

There’s no reason you can’t have fun and be competative.

We’ve had a bad rep for a while but people are starting to see the potential of this highly versatile and mobile class, now…played in the right hands and you might be suprised!

Thanks Alot!!!

Play a warrior then you’ll have everything – just better.

Honestly, try things out for yourself. You might learn something. A lot of people jump on the warrior bandwagon without knowing what they’re talking about.
