Granted they can be deployed rather often normally, but a single 20% chance is dismal compared to 3 security Doffs ea. @ 20% chance! And while security escort refresh time is slightly lengthy, it's not really an issue when 2 or more tac captains are in a team!!!

    I personally don't see a problem with this, and people ought to have the option.

    Limit the escort doffs to one. I can get 16 security escort pets by myself with tactical initiative and a lucky proc. That much spam is nonsense. Since engineers lose ownership of turrets upon death and can easily have 9 or more out with some luck, MORE turrets is not the answer.

    What I'd really like to see is those turrets being a micro turret that is on the engineers shoulder or something so you aren't stuck with a cooldown for a turret you dropped 30m back. Mortars have good range but turrets are pretty much useless imo.

    not only yes to this just for the sake of it. but yes because this will fix conflicts caused by new doffs of the same type but with different modifiers.

    Doh, I voted other, but this statement right here makes me want to change my vote to a yes instead. More doffs will come and having to be locked to 1 sucks.


    I was going to say simply up the percentage, and make it guaranteed 2 turrets/mortars are spawned, then the 3rd can be a random chance of say 33 or 40%.

    As long as the doffs just increase the chance to proc without multiproccing, it would be okay - that way, you'd have 20% chance to summon more with 1 doff, 36% with 2 doffs, and 48% with 3 doffs (just like the doff that beams in the other generator if you use shield/health generator).

    Although personally, I would prefer more variety (X% chance to beam in a heavy turret instead of a normal one, etc.)
