All this and we still don't have a beam yet. At least not outside that wonderful LB3.

Even the pirates have beams! Magitek bits have beams! Come on SE!

On the road to 80, it wouldn't be bad if we got a turret that offered a small defense boost within a radius for a short while, somewhat like the shield given by Estinien in the Aery's Nidhogg battle, only tech-based and temporary in that it "breaks" and is on CD for 120/180 sec. Or perhaps as our first "Smart" turret, a repurposed Allagan Node? "Mimic/Repeater" could be a nice skill where the node repeats the last weaponskill/ability used (within reason; say Gauss Round, Ricochet, or Flamethrower could be repeated, but Wildfire, Overload, or Dismantle could not be).

Just throwing some ideas out there.
