Turrets, huge dissapointment

[StacyX]

level 80 engineer but i gotta admit that this is the worst profession ever. only legit weapon that you can use is rifle or pistol since toolbox sucks and gives less damage than the main one.

I couldn't disagree more. I've played all the classes and Engineer is by far my favorite. Try being a bomb Engy, you may enjoy that. I do! I love walking up to big groups of mobs and Fing them up! heheh

I rarely get out my riffle and I never use pistols. I have my bombs out almost all the time. That's the way to go, IMO. I LOVE Bomb Engineer!

I use the rocket turret in my dual pistol build, and I love it, i find it's very flexible and sort of like ranger pets, you can set it and not really worry about it, besides using the overcharge attack on cd's. One thing, that's awesome about rocket turret, and all turret's i think, is that they are explodable, you can actually, say you're against a mob and you're almost dead, and he's getting there, what I like to do is throw mine let it sit, drop turret, blow turret, blow mine.

Engineer is super flexible, there's multiple ways to use each skill, I love it, I rolled mine four days ago, just got him to 63 and I don't want to play anything else, try that though, if you don't want to feel like it's not under your control use it as an extra bomb, it works really well, also, with rocket turret, you get rocket as your f3 skill.. rrr well maybe f2 or f4 haha it's f3 for me and that's a really nice little burst of damage, hits pretty hard, you can drop turret, blow turret and then use rocket right after blowing up the one you just dropped .

Test it man I think you'll find you dig it.

Another small edit, turrets are amazing for kiting, you can set one up, grab up a bunch of mobs, run em around in a circle and the turret will just keep adding in damage, ok, good luck bro, give it a go hope you enjoy.

Turrets are more useful if you spec into those trait lines. One trait increases their range, and another decreases the damage they take by 30%. There's a third one too I don't recall off hand.

In the later game, though I still keep a turret with me (rocket turret), I tend to use the mine kit and the grenade kit instead. Mines for land and grenades underwater to be specific. They simply skill stuff faster.

I never actually thought of using a kit under water.. I've found the underwater spear gun skills to be good, but slow, gonna test this thanks for the suggestion.

The only turret ive used past 80 is the net turret for more Crowd control.
