Guild Wars 2

A good way to keep the Crafting Professions useful and keep WvW dynamic, would be to have each crafting profession make components of siege weapons.

For example:

Armorsmith:
Light Mithril Plating (Golem +15% Speed, -10% Health)
Heavy Orichalcum Plating (Golem +20% Health, -10% Speed, -5% Damage)

Leatherworker: Harnesses/Padding

Huntsman: Slings/Cords

Weaponsmith: Spikes/Ammo Types (Shrapnel/Heavy/Explosive)

Artificer: Magic Ammo (Frost, Fire, Poison)

Jewelcraft: Magic Enhancements (Ram puts an absorption barrier up every 30sec)/(Ballista Reduces damage from the front by x%)

Cook: Enhanced Oil/x

Then use the Mystic Forge to Combine Blueprints (Or Superior Blueprints) with the enhancements. (Therefore limiting the end product to 3 custom pieces), allowing players to make unique siege weapons tailored to their needs and fueling the raw materials market

Also from my other suggestion post (as we still see a fair number of bugged events):

Bugged Events/Skill Points:
Auto – “Full Resets” if the Event if they have not been completed with in 10/30/60 mins (Depending on Event – Temples and Dragons are long so require a longer time vs. a Skill Challenge)

This would fix the majority of world/pve glitches without direct intervention and only occasionally impact players (can be minimized by finding a timer “sweet spot”, ie a point where it is rare that the temple/dragon would still be up – but short enough that it is not bugged until the next server reset.)

Golem Rushes

A third suggestion would be to make golem purchasable with Badges of Honor Only (and Not Gold) as the current prevailing tactic of build 5 Golems and Zerging greatly diminishes the value Fortification upgrades.

If they were to cost around 50-100 then a Golem/Golem rush would only be used to break heavily fortified keeps as a coordinated effort to gain a foothold in a borderland not as dime a dozen map zerg.

Essentially right now 5g can wipe out every upgrade on 2~5 keeps (in a matter of minutes).
