Guild Wars 2

With Ram mastery confirmed and golem mastery probably a thing before Halloween, it’ll pretty much kill WvW unless some drastic action(s) are taken to give advantages to defenders.

First thing, add a scouting mechanic that allows scouts to ‘ping’ enemy targets on the mini-map to squad members. For every 5 pings while not in combat (to prevent abuse in zerg vs. zerg fights) the scout gets a small ~25 WxP bonus. This will give reason for people to scout and make for better defensive play in WvW.

Next idea, Defense Mastery. While in range of a defensive target, you get bonuses (5% siege damage, +50/50 toughness and vitality, 50/50 power and precision, +15% damage vs siege, All NPCs (range 1200) do +15% more damage)

With all the massive PvE farming, it’s only a matter of time where the encouragement of karma trains > tactics makes WvW pointless.

Why would it kill WvW? I read so many times that things will kill WvW… and see there, it’s still arround. LOL
