Guild Wars 2

Enemy trebuchet:

Everyone else – attack treb while kiting or dueling the treb operator.

Elementalist: meteor storm, lava font, and that’s all folks!

Seems legit.

How do people dare using AoEs on a structure instead of spamming air auto attack in melee range!

Not people. Elementalist. One profession outta 8. Other seven gotta work for getting the treb down. Ele? Cast 2-3 skills, bye bye.

Same cheese takes place in most dungeons too – if it’s slightly bigger then a matchhead – there can be only one – the icebow. No icebows = difficulty gets sudden increase. This “balance” has been going on for solid 2.5 years now…

Maybe it’s about time to rethink this design where one class has aoes that are 2x if not more powerful then anything anyone else has at their disposal.

If you’re complaining about one specific class with one specific weapon on one specific spot in one specific map…

You’re gonna have a bad time.

You would have loved the old fiery rush, which killed it much faster, didn’t pigeonhole them into using staff, and didn’t need to be glassy for a quick kill.

This isn’t really much different from an engineer standing at the arch-way in front of treb and spamming nades, or a ranger spamming autos/rapid fire/barrage from the same spot.

A necro could also pop wells.

Turret engies regularly drop their turrets and proceed to afk/shoot treb relatively effectively.

Staff ele killing the treb is just because its one of the few classes/builds where it is actually easier to damage a non-moving structure. Staff ele is hilariously bad at damaging moving enemies not constrained to a capture point.

I really don’t think “nuke the treb quickly” is, like, a big advantage anyone needs to worry about.

WTB staff ele can walk into the Skyhammer control room and blow up that stupid cannon for the rest of the match.

@OP:

Meteor storm has always been incredibly strong. That said, complaining about this is like complaining that a Mesmer can just drop a port and insta port back and repair their treb.

It is just the gimmicks of that map.

..just when I thought that it couldn’t get any worst…
