You can't do that if they are stuck in one of the pillars next to the Teleporter Exit. It happens 1 out of 100 times, but it happens.

You are right, you can't just click on something to make the turtle move again, but you can have 3 Skills on your bar to do it. 3 Skills is a heavy invested but at least there is a way

Luxons want to win, bond a turtle...done.
It's over, Kurzicks lose.
Go Mo/R, bond the crap out of a turtle and cast EoE. Watch the unholy sh1tst0rm unleashed on the Kurzicks.
Kurzicks never have necros and rarely have mesmers. It's THAT easy.

If the Kurzicks get lucky, bond another turtle, or one of the thousands of dervs that are always on the Luxon teams.

I would also recommend ritualists with Consume Soul as their elite to stop ST rits (like me) who negate all the damage within the Fort with spirit coverage.

One of them being an elite and another one being useless 95% of the time.

If a kurzick team lost because a turtle was bonded, they didn't lose specifically for that reason.
And kurzicks teams never have mesmers ? For some reason kurzicks prefer to play a mesmer instead of a monk or a ritualist.

And don't tell me that it's that hard for a ST rit to move around a little instead of putting his spirits on the same spot.

It works with every Minion Skill, the advantage of AotL is, that you don't need a corpse to unstuck the Turtle.

This thread is tl;dr atm, but of course FA is unbalanced. Any gametype where a team wins by default is going to be impossible to balance.

The turtles are happily firing away without any LOS.

Sure you can try killing the warrior, but with endure pain, defy pain, signet of stamina, various self heals, it is a big PITA.
I don't understand why some people prefer Defy Pain over Melandru's Resilience. A bit lower +300 hp won't help you as much if you can't heal yourself reliably. Lion's Comfort is pain because you have to attack to gain adrenaline fast enough. That will make Signet of Stamina useless. Lion's Comfort also increase signet cooldowns so Dolyak Signet cannot be maintained.

People usually spam my tank with conditions and hexes. I get tons of health regeneration and energy regen from MR to maintain Troll's Unguent which is a bit harder to interrupt because it is not a spell and it cannot be stripped once up.

Feeling a bit happy when I stall both turtles outside attacking me for like 66 earth dmg each and couple luxon players trying to kill me. That is biggest shutdown tactic one player can achieve.

If you know better skills than MR and TU for healing turtle tank while being spammed with hexes and conditions, feel free to tell.
