Guild Wars 2

In addition to the current bonus amount of supply delivered for escorting the yak…

dolyak delivery

Rank 1 .. escorted yak delivers 10% more supply
Rank 2 .. delivers 20%
Rank 3 .. delivers 30%
Rank 4 .. delivers 40%
Rank 5 .. delivers 50%

also dolyak defense

Rank 1 .. escorted yak has 100% hit point buff
Rank 2 .. has 150% hit pont buff
Rank 3 .. has 200% hit point buff
Rank 4 .. had 250% hit point buff
Rank 5 .. has 300% hit point buff.

These can be toned down but as squishy as they are anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to buff them if you have ranks.

Player with highest rank gets their buff applied to the yak. 1500 range so that it doesn’t make ranged players the go to yak slapper. The delivery buff is halved for the camps south of bay and hills and you must start escorting the yak before they get past the archway since that route is so close(I’d even make it start at those camps.) All other paths is full buff and you must escort 75% of the way.

A little light reading for lunch.

Make those cumulative for all the people with the yak.

Champion Dolyak ftw.

The numbers could use tweaking but this is actually a really good idea.

VOLKON.1290:

I had been thinking that it would be nice if completed achievements would add something to what you just achieved. Slayer for example…complete one of those and you get extra damage or defense against that critter type. WvW stuff achievements could possible apply something like that but those WvW achievement numbers need to be adjusted so that we can achieve them before the servers shut down.

I actualy think that dolyak defence one should be cumulitive with all players posesing it withen range. Yaks are really squishy and nearly impossible to defend unless you have the numbers to keep the enemy from ever geting close. Its not uncomon for defenders to wipe out the enemy attackers yet still lose the yak because all they have to do is rush the yak and cleave on top of it till they die to kill it. If a dedicated yak defence team made those things significantly harder to kill while in range then yak slappers would have to wipe out the defenders first to have a reasonable chance of success.

Then agian I’m biased, I’ve advocated giveing yak’s a 10-20% damage reduction for each living escort in range for a while specifically to discurage hit and runing around the escorts.
