Guild Wars 2

How about crafting seige weapons?

you are able to craft basic siege weapons into advanced siege weapons does that count?

I was thinking more along the lines of a crafting profession itself that caters to the wvw crowd. Perhaps create a second tier of seige weapons that have a slightly faster firing rate, range or a AOE. trade-offs perhaps, it will shoot slightly farther, but does less damage for example.

I like the idea of a craft that affects seige items. maybe even something that lets you upgrade seige even if you can’t build it outright. Like efficient build plans which lowers supply cost or increases build speeds. Or even an item that you can apply to “repair” a deployed seige item restoring HP. A patching golem who hammers on the item would be funny.

I think upgraded siege weapons pass superior would be broken (imagine a superior treb that shoots 50% faster o_o).

Crafting the basis wvw equips would be better imo, crafting normal arrow carts into rams then ballistas and etc, Golems being the lv375 item while superior items are lv400.

There could also be potential for wvw specific consumables (20% more supply efficiency for 30 minutes or 5% more damage while using siege or take 5% less damage when using siege, etc)

I, too, was hoping this would be a crafting discipline. I envisioned it using lumber (chiefly), and metal and leather to a lesser extent. For obvious reasons, they’d have to call it something other than Engineering. Perhaps Siegecrafting?

PS – I also hoped we’d have player housing (man, was the home instance disappointing) and a Furniture Crafting discipline using lumber and cloth.

Well you could craft things that turn you into furniture. :p
