The golem has to be fixed, it is clearly useless in it’s current state. Even if you get it free from a puzzle, it is stilll a waste to use supplies on this piece of junk. A ram or two are vastly superior to it. It has low damage, useless skills, low durability and is slower than a snail sprinting in superglue.

Moreover we do not need more siege machines. The rams deal with doors fast at a close range, check. Catapults deal with doors and walls at medium range, check. Trebuchets do so on long range, check. Why the golem then, especially at this price? Don’t even mention “but it can move!” It can’t. After the first keep it will be destroyed if anyone is defending it. If no one is defending the keep – why not usekitten ram? It would do the job much faster.

Anyway, I propose to replace the current useless, boring golem, with the amazing battle suit from the Personal Story (Asura).

- it can fire a huge beam from it’s middle, dealing insane damage to anything in it’s path – amazing for dealing with zerg and damaging gates.
- it can electrocute everything around it in a large radius – fantastic for encountering zergs.
- it can teleport and electrocute things where it lands! combine that with the previous skill, and you’ll get why it’s so fun

One such battle suit could wipe a decent raid all alone.
Is it OP? Hell yes.
Is it fun? Without any doubt!
Worth 1g and 200 supplies? You betcha.
Is it useful? Are you kidding me?

Because it is so strong, each side could only have max 1-3 of them at a time. In fact, the side who is winning, can only have 1, the second runner can have 2, and the last team may build and control 3 battle suits!

You may thing no way this can never work. I have to tell you yes it can. It worked perfectly in LOTRO, if anyone has seen the Troll Session Play, they will know how much fun it was to play golf with the enemy zerg while being a 10m high rampaging brute

Why golems? Cause they are impressive in sheer numbers.

Omega Siege Golem has 1500 Range.

Golems can also be built away from the door, whereas rams can be killed before they are even built if the enemy focus fires them as the blueprint is dropped(I do this solo all the time).

I was thinking they are useless. But I’ve changed my mind after today. They are pretty effective when used right. It just need a good coordination.

Yes, Golems are useless. Please buff them. . . It’s not like you can take a tower in less than a minute with golems or anything, or a keep in about 2.

Build an Omega Siege Golem. It costs:
5x Alpha Siege Golem Blueprints
3x Skillpoint Mystic Forge items.
10x Mithril ore
10x Elder Wood

They have twice as much health and fire rockets instead of having to punch.

Pfft… siege golems. They should just allow we sura to ride on Norn’s shoulders.
Their brawn combined with our brains would make us an unstoppable killing machine
