Claudiu's best turrets. But what about shaft and Isida?

For those of you who watch Claudiu, you know he once made a video about which turrets were the best. His conclusion: Fire, Rico, and Vulcan. But he forgot to include shaft in the demonstration. I think this is ok, because Shaft if a unique weapon. It is long range only, and nearly always a camping tool, to be paired with a heavy hull. The Optical scope works regardless of day or night, and allows you to peer into the furthest recesses of a map. Not to mention that full power can only be achieved when the scope is zoomed in all the way. It sux as a close range weapon due to its long reload time. 

 

For Isida, Claudiu ranked this in the short range weapons, along with Fire and Freeze. It ranked poorly due to lack of brute instant power, plus, it has no lasting affects like continuing to burn after the Firebird dies, or freezing the enemy stiff. But I believe that Claudiu didn't take into consideration it's healing powers. An Isida can prop up a whole team, making then virtually bulletproof, and can frustrate and foil an enemy till they give up. I recently was #1 in a 15 min battle Halloween CTF, with a final score of 500, (twice that of #2) and a 4 KDR because I was running IsidaM0/ VikingM1.

 

So, in my garage, I will continue to upgrade Fire, Rico, Isida, and Shaft. For me, Vulcan is kinda sucky. What are your thoughts as to best turret? Is Isida as good as I stated? Is camping with a Shaft a good step toward exp and riches?

Camping with shaft is definately not a good idea to earn exp and crystals. You only get scores from kills and you do nothing for the team unless shooting the flagger.
