Here is my latest suggestion for siege: Rocks.
In reality, a staple of warfare since pre-human times, rocks were still being used in medieval times:
“Soldiers would be positioned atop the second wall and armed with any variety of weapons, ranging from bows to crossbows to simple rocks.”

How would we use those? I’m glad you asked, because the developers would doubtless get it wrong if you didn’t (sorry developers, but after 4 years your track record is abysmal, but I have faith you can do better from now on! Implement Rocks correctly and the world is your oyster).

Pile of Rocks appears on the inside of a wall, near steps leading up.
Player interacts with Pile of Rocks to acquire Rock, a skill set:

  1. Throw rock – a single-target attack with a range of whatever is reasonable – can damage siege and doors but not walls.
  2. ROLL rock – bowls the rock along the floor – this is intended to be rolled off a wall and onto point-blank siege below. The express purpose is to destroy catapults that are below the wall without having to stand on the edge of the wall.

-Suggestion ends-

Please leave feedback when you hear read the tone. The Tone.

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.

When I was a child, people paid to have pet rocks, it was a huge craze.

Did they have googly eyes on them and cost 350 gems?

As for the OP maybe they could be in a pile and moved into positions above stairs and ledges. You then activate a skill to unleash the kraken rocks! They tumble down the stairs or nearest ledge doing 6000 damage and knocking you down for 3s…also unlockable.

Now I want boulders like the giant snowballs you can turn yourself into and be able to roll over edges to do damage to siege, while only players with hammers and maces or you running into an enemy rock to damage you.

Another derailing post. ^^
