Guild Wars 2

I was skimming my WvW achieves for lulz — I’m only rank 6 — and noted that I have enough points to either increase my arrow cart range or my mortar blast radius. Would that affect Silverwastes siege at forts and Vinewrath? If so it might be worth paying the points.

I would not think so. WvW Rank point abilities are solely for activities in WvW. At least, I believe that is true.

I suppose you could always try it, and see if it makes any difference. But, seems unlikely.

Good luck.

Drat, I was hoping someone might have a definitive answer before I committed points. Maybe they can be changed after spending, maybe not, I have almost zero WvW expertise. But if it’s a permanent expenditure that won’t affect PvE siege weapons I’d think it would be better spent on supply/repair oriented skills as my rare journeys into WvW don’t tend to involve me using any siege.

Whereas I like to think I’ve gotten pretty handy with the arrow carts and mortars in SW, generally hitting the target I mean to with the ammo best suited and keeping situational awareness as to near and far threats.

If it matters to you Anet resets points before the WvW tournaments. We’ll probably be having another one in the next few months.

You could spend the Rank points on a character that rarely, if ever, visits WvW. Each character gets to spend them individually. (If you have, say, 25 points, you can spend 25 points on each character, not 25 points for all characters to share.)

Good luck.

No, your WvW siege masteries do not affect the siege weapons in Silverwastes (or anywhere else in PvE).

It’s a shame, because I think they should!
