Can you add Stability to the protection while you are at it? Otherwise people will just constantly be pulled off of it by mesmers.

Without the stability I don’t think the line will accomplish what it seems to be intended to. Which is keeping the oil and player a safer and making it take a longer to kill oil, buying time for people to arrive to help. As well as punish those who do not take it down of course.

Really. Burning oil is currently the biggest waste of supply in WvW. Last night, while defending a keep, we were 2 supply short of building a ballista and saving the wall from a line of cats. I looked over at a half build pot of oil and cried tears of lament as we went down like the Alamo.

I know about this issue. that you got a bug/hack that you can’t be killed.
i saw the video of it on youtube.
My guildleader was that he had that bug and reported it straight away.
Was funny as hell people trying to kill him.

It needs to offer full invulnerability to even come close to arrow cart mastery (same number of points).

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.

It still won’t work. If you use the oil, you get hit with a million AoE spells. You’ll be dead before you can use it.

At least the cannons can be fired once or twice before they kill you.

The real issue: zergs are too big. Doesn’t help the poor sap who bought Burning Oil Mastery tho.

Burning oil mastery is a joke because ground target AOE works on vertical walls and ceilings.

Would it be possible to prevent GTAOE from casting if the target location’s polygon has a normal with a Z component less than .3f? This would block wall and ceiling targets and make a wall defense actually possible.

In lieu of that make the first oil mastery trait cause the user to be immune to GTAOE hits (including mesmer pulls) and add stability.

Burning oil mastery is just tragic unless it offers complete immunity pretty much all the time the oil is in use as well as stability. As such, as long as the oil is up, so should you be, it should be like wearing a golem.

Oil is an immediate target for the entire zerg with everything they have got. They are forced to kill it, because it eats rams and golems. Thus, most of the time, even if you do get on it, it wont have any targets because nobody is stupid enough to put things under it till its dead.

What would be nice would be an ability that let you rebuild it quickly once it is dead. I can see that being a great way for a specialist to recover a gate during a lull.

You would actually be surprised at how many times i’ve seen people forget to clear the oil before dropping rams and/or golems. I am myself guilty of that several times too. When it comes down to actually operating an oil against an enemy force it’s usually a death trap for whoever’s on it.
