So i tried out the new assault rollers the other day. Claimed NN on my servers borderland…waited for 30 minutes. Slotted the tactic. Waited 3 more minutes. Then hopped in. After a bit of testing I realized a few things

1. Assault rollers feel cartoony and fun as heck (love the way they jump and move). Escaping theif ganks in one was fantastic fun

2. Being a mobile assault unit that gets to walls before other people, stands there, and blasts them on a hit and run basis all alone, is lonely. And for me lonely means boring (If I wanted to show how awsome I was solo Id just thrash newbs in pvp unranked solo que).

3. 33m is a long time to wait if you wanna have abit of fun in one of these things

4. Only one person can go at a time. 2 if you have somebody jump into the first one right before it despawns and spawn another one right after.

Theres alot of people in WvW. If somethings fun everybody should be able to do it. Its a game. It should be fun

5. Im completely aware that everything I just said is overshadowed by the fact that having even 5 people rolling around in these things would be OP. Way way to OP.

Hows everybody else liking them so far?

Since you can only put them on a camp, and the cost is decently high, I don’t think they’ll see much use.

But because hit & run tactics are very tedious for defenders, I’m kinda glad we don’t see them often. Not sure how to fix this problem.

Yea 6-8g to get one from a camp which flip often. I heard it dps faster than a sup ram but you can not hold a camp long enough for to pay for itself. Still roaming solo it is very helpful but in a small group is seems out of place. You move faster than everyone else and your friends will not be their to help you if you get into trouble.
