What does it do actually? Is it just a summoned stationary pet that auto attacks? How long does it last? Timed or Destroyed? Can you multicast?
I've been playing w/ MIDs and working towards an Elec/Device Blaster.

It seems to act like the turrets that Malta Engineers plop down that everyone ignores because they can just walk away from them when the mob is done. You'll find out more of them later. Looks like it'd be a great concept power, if your toon is a former malta operative, but for anything other than an AV or Boss fight, it looks like it's made of Epic Fale.

It used to be so awesome, because you used to be able to Teleport it around as needed. But the devs considered this a bug and fixed it so that Auto Turret is not affected by teleports of any kind. Where before you could plop it down, and move it to the next fight, now you drop it and it sits there, forever, until you dismiss it, or recast it.
No, you cannot have more than one out at a time, as far as I know. I have never seen a blaster with more than one.
It can be useful as an extra source of damage against EBs and AVs, but beyond that, it really isn't that good anymore. You may use it against a boss as extra damage, and it can draw aggro to itself, so it could be helpful in that regards. I personally wouldn't take it, as I would never find a good enough use for it soloing, and on a team, unless its an AV/EB fight, mobs just won't last long enough for it to be effective.

They should put the little bugger on treads, so you have a mini-tank just puttering along behind you, like Voltaic Sentinel, only it doesn't fly.
Has the potential to then be the cutest little insturment of death around. I'd play that power set, just for the turret, then.

Ah yes auto turret.
I took it, probably shouldn't have, but I did.
It isn't permanent, can't move, you can't have two, and you can't solo regular mobs with it.
But I have it.
Which means its there...
*Sigh*

I like my turrent, it is good for spliting attacks from mobs and the extra damage from EB/AV's is handy. The other effect is if you pull a mob villians run a dozen yards behind it and it will hold the aggro from 1 or 2 cutting down on the numbers you have to deal with in one lump.
When you take the time to add a few mines and caltrops it gives you a good place to fight from behind. That takes time so is better when solo then in a team, like many of the good devices powers.

Thanks folks for the input. Could not find any other place current to find info. Was planning on using is for solo/duo grind, but seems not worth it. Like a Grav/Storm troller would hold mobs and use turret for 2nd dmg add. Will have to try it out eventually. I am usually the "less effort" than the "fast xp" leveling person.
On a side note .. I live in the city "Short Circuit" was filmed at. :)

That's freakin' awesome, dude.
Whenever someone I know orders a Dr. Pepper and I'm with them, I always say that line, and everyone looks at me like I'm nuts.
