Guild Wars 2

Rate each siege on effectiveness. There are a few ways I thought of doing this, Anet has effectively given them ratings because some can be bought for less money or laurels then the others.

In Gold/Laurel
Alpha Siege Golem – Should be most effective at 1G , Trebuchet – Should be second most effective 24s, Catapult – Should be third most effective 12s ,Ballista – Should be fourth most effective 10s, Arrow Cart/Flame Ram – Should be least effective at 6s.
Laurels are similiarly priced, trebuchets giving you the least amount of prints, then catapaults, then ballista, flame ram and arrow carts the same. EITHER WAY IMO:

Best:
1. Arrow Cart
2. Trebuchet
3. Catapault
4. Flame Ram
5. Ballista
6. Alpha Golem

They are all equally effective, but situationally dependant. That’s my rating.

Try taking a tower with an arrow cart, or defend a choke point with just a trebuchet…

Defending a choke with a treb is very effective actually…kinda hard to move forward with poison cows an giant boulders coming at you

Arrow Carts is the only siege that can’t get your server a tower / keep, so I would have to say;

Rams
Trebs
Catapult
Ballista
Golem
Arrow Cart

I would have to say arrow carts come in at #1 with arrow carts following up in a close 2nd place.

It’s also hard to argue that arrow carts in the #3 spot aren’t better than our #2 arrow carts but we all know the superior damage of arrow cart’s in 2nd place give it a strong lead over arrow carts otherwise.

Did I mention arrow carts?

1. golems, nothing better than an army of 60 golems while the enemy scout is afk for a minute.

This. There is only two things better than arrowcarts, superior arrowcart and multiple superior arrowcarts.

I slaughtered a facegating zerg singlehandedly with a normal AC built as the gate hit 20% and two points in AC mastery.

40+ loot bags.

Anet says they want to keep this level of damage to players, just not siege.

Pretty sure AC will rule the siege roster for a long, long time.
