Guild Wars 2

From the notes:-

1/ Increased the damage of trebuchet skills.
2/ Disease Cloud from cow ammo now drains supply from enemy players.
3/ Increased the radius of trebuchet skills.
4/ New skill: Healing Oasis—Fires a shot that heals allies and creates a water combo field.
5/ Basic shots that hit enemy supply depots will now destroy some of the objective’s supply.

Notice that there is no option to increase range. Tbh, that’s the only option I can see that might induce anyone to invest in this line.

Bear in mind that you get virtually no reward for trebbing other than the satisfaction of helping your team-mates gain a load of WXP when they storm the breach you made.
A range increase would have made your skill almost indispensable – making you a very popular bunny at least. But without that, I just see it as a pointless investment.

Of course, as ever, I’m open to argument. Hit me!

idk, some of it sounds pretty awesome, and by awesome I mean borderline OP.

The increased radius would extend the range a little, maybe allowing some new placements.
With the new disease-clouds, harrassment fire is no longer so petty.

Tempted to spend in this line, am wondering what others have found.

I’m not a fan of the supply drain. It just makes the towers near stonemist suffer evenmore.

you can get a lot of bags from hitting enemies

you can get a lot of bags from hitting enemies

You might get lucky and hit someone who is killed by another player soon enough to get you a tag reward. Your chances of actually killing someone with treb fire are zero unless he’s afk. I suspect NPCs regen health like other mobs – otherwise you’d be able to clear a Lord’s room.

On the odd occasion when I’ve felt like a break, I’ve spent a while trebbing down a wall. Idk how long it takes – feels like 10 minutes at least, I’ve picked up maybe one or two bags per session.

I know that I can pick up 5-10 bags per skirmish in the sort of action that you get around a tower. Probably get 20 on average assaulting a tower plus the chest from the Lord – always worth a few silver now.

Hmm. My guildie trebbed open the Lake tower from the Hill keep a few days ago, but we didn’t have the numbers to overwhelm the defenders. So we fought through the breach for 10 minutes or so while I corrected his fire to destroy defending arrow carts. His cows and treb fire really put a crimp in the defense and their sustain and he got tons of bags. That’s the sort of thing I’m talking about.
