A turret dont move from its own. And you just interact with it by only two actions (hypercharge and tp/mp-regen). But those 2 things wont make it a pet or the machinist a pet-class. A turret is nothing different as a AoE you can place on the ground. Both wont move and both do damage. To say, that a machinist is technically a pet-class is like to say, that a Summoner is technically a healer-class (because of Physic and Ressurrection).
