Guild Wars 2

Charging a catapult to max to get max damage is ridiculous.

This means you either have to build right next to the wall or judge the max distance to place the cata when at full charge!

Go back to the old simpler way!

I don’t want to be that guy, but really?

Just because something is simple, does not always make it better.

I for one enjoy the change. We are not forced to place catas right up against the wall. There is an advantage to placing them further away.

You don’t have to charge the catapult at all to deal the same damage as before. If you do charge it to full on every shot, you’ll deal 25% more DPS than before.

There’s not much of an advantage to placing them further away. Just place them at minimum range and charge to full for a free damage increase.

If you fire at less than maximum charge, you still get a DPS increase over the previous maximum catapult DPS.
