Guild Wars 2

Does anybody have a WvW Map that display siege ranges?

I believe that could be a useful tool for WvW ranged sieging.

So you just spent 15 minutes to build the trebuchet which could not.

The elevation, invisible walls, line of sight, arc of fire, blast radius all affect which siege abilities can hit which targets. One should also consider any counter measures when placing siege.

Instead of asking for a map, you should ask a more seasoned WvW player to show you good siege positions. In many cases it is a matter of a yard from edge of a cliff between good and bad siege placement.

Thats what I mean. Are there any Googlemaps for WVW with good siege locations detailed out by vet WvWers anywhere that I can look over?

Youtube has guides for siege placement.

I’d still recommend to ask someone in-game to show you. People are happy to help, it builds that community feeling, and when you are in combat actually using the siege you understand the why behind the placement.

I don’t think there are, but to be honest I don’t think you would need them. After playing around with siege a bit it’s pretty easy to get a feel for the range, etc.

this.

Besides, if you are expecting something like a range circle on map it would not work. In most cases you need to take elevation into consideration (much longer or lower range). IMO you should run around for a couple of days and check where people usually place siege. 99% of times it would be the best spot for any given siege.

I’m making a guide for the borderlands towers and keeps (in progress).

You should consider taking the YB university course to defense! For a mere 1800 gems you can transfer to YB and experience hands on effective defensive and counter siege placement.

This might be letting out some secret sauce but DTC Justice compiled a very comprehensive guide for WvW. It is on the BP forums and while a bit outdated still a very good read.
