Guild Wars 2

Last night I had the opportunity to use a trebuchet to attack an unoccupied tower while it exchanged hands 3-4 times. Since I could see that no one was repairing the wall, and since I was able to perform multiplle trials, I can say the following:

1. An unpgraded tower wall takes 9715 damage from a trebuchet hit
2. The same wall consistently takes 42 shots to break

This strongly implies that an unupgraded tower wall has 400,000 HP, assuming different towers don’t have different strengths of walls. For reference, all trials were performed against Anzalia pass.

Has anyone else done similar research? I can confirm that gates have more than 200,000 HP, but I never actually broke a gate hitting it with this trebuchet, so i don’t know the total amount.

it would be nice of anet could tell us these little statistics, but your efforts are appreciated

Sorry greyblue, but I am pretty sure 9715 is a normal wall hit, not upgraded.

I said “unupgraded” :P

Doh! Sorry about that!

I said “unupgraded” :P

actually what you said is:

greyblue.4962:

1. An unpgraded …

which could be construed as a typo for upgraded rather than a type for a the nonexistent word ‘unupgraded’.

Thanks Catisa – we’ll call it 50/50 then
