Guild Wars 2

It seems to me kind of like the trebuchet got a serious damage nerf this beta. I direct-hit a doorbreaker and only get about 1/3-1/4 it’s health. I remember it being more effective before.

Despite the adjusted vantage points, it seems as thought it’s not really all that worth it to bother using it to defend the mist nodes and it honestly seems more effective just to jump down and hit things myself. It’s not nearly as handy as it is in Khylo. Mainly it’s just because the treb is so slow to aim and shoot, and the points you need to hit are so close, that it’s just as fast to run there yourself. I’m not saying the treb is useless, but it’s definitely underwhelming compared to it’s utility in the other map that has them.

I’m thinking it might be a better idea to replace the trebuchet with a cannon. One that works like the ones in the PvP lobby (The ones from the removed pvp map). Instead of loading cannonballs, it would take one supply to stock it with 5 shots. It’d be ground targeted, so it would be a lot easier and faster to hit those key points with it, but you couldn’t just spam it because you’d have to run supply to keep using it.

I think the style of it would suit the cramped map better, and both offer more utility and more counterplay and strategies involving it. (Note: I was not around when the map the cannons were originally used in was still in play. So I’m assuming the cannon would still be destructible like the treb, if it wasn’t a destructible object in the original)

I think they’re terrible gameplay in any game mode. Damage should be done by players not stupid siege weapons that do huge damage to multiple people at once.

No way man, I like to sit half way across the map and kill everything quick without even seeing what I’m shooting at.
