Guild Wars 2

So, Corpsy McCorpse (Lawndart) had this brilliant idea!
The idea is to be able to repair the siege that you are most invested into. For example, if you have Arrow Cart Mastery level 5, then you could repair Arrow Carts.

However, we’ve discussed this a bit with some people on our server and it seems that we need to limit it immensely.

So, the general consensus is to limit it to require:

• Level 5 of that siege mastery
• Level 5 of Supply Mastery
• Level 5 of Repair Mastery

This way it’ll require a minimum of 115 Rank Points just to even make this a possibility for the individual player. That, and it’ll revolve around the siege mastery you have, so you’d have to invest 75 points per siege mastery.

Another option is to limit it to only be able to repair it while manning the siege, via a little button above swap weapons or an additional skill.

This will open the ability to repair Cannons and Oil from that 1% that smart people leave them at when preparing for a golem rush.

Some people are even suggesting to limit it to until the player is out of combat, but I think that even in combat a mere 10-20 supply would be fine for a repair of a single ac or something.

So, start yappin’ people! Let’s make this a possibility for ages to come!

(Topic copied from Suggestions, due to absolutely no attention)

I would definitely like to be able to repair the siege on my walls that is getting nuked. But unfortunately this would be another gift to the more populus server. They have more people, therefore more control of supply, therefore they will be able to repair their siege more.

This would be a great mechanic to give the weaker server(s) in a match though. If Anet ever decides to really do anything about imbalance in matches this is a great one.

I’ve always thought that engineers should just be able to repair siege innately. Just makes sense. And that’s how engineer-ish classes in other games work.

I had a post about the same thing but a different approach in suggestions, got ignored as well.
The idea was about some kind of repair rifle as environmental weapon which lets you repair siege weapons and especially gates over a litle range, but only for half of the amount you would do by hand.
Maybe with a mastery for more amount repaired, bigger range or more skills.

In my case I was focussing on the topic of “how to defend until somebody comes, if we can’t even hold the gate due to aoe circles”, but the same goes to almost downed static siege equipment like oil

or, instead of needing WXP points and making it Op for large servers, remove the needed WXP points and just add this to the outnumbered buff so its useful for ppl that need it
