Guild Wars 2

I calculated the gate/wall HP for basic, reinforced, and fortified (only wall can be fortified) and the DPS that the siege does to each as well as the time it takes to take the gates/walls down.

I did all of these calculations by myself. If you have any additional questions after watching the video and reading the description, leave a comment on the video or here to discuss with me/others.

Alternatively, if you see any other uses for this not mentioned in the video, feel free to share your opinions and things you see. I did not mention in the video but this information can also be used on defense to give you an idea of how long until the gate/wall goes down, given what siege the enemy is using.

fixed that for you:

There might be a difference between tower wall and keep wall.

Very nice results. I actually did a test to determine gate hp sometime ago. The 3 sets of data I got range from 375k to 400k hp. The most accurate test is 375,000 hp for bay outer wurm gate (52 hits with superior catapult, 7227 damage per hit). Not saying that your data is inaccurate, but is it possible that different gate has different hp? I would do another test to reconfirm my data again.

For golem’s dps, they are affected by your own power rating. So if you have no power gear, it can be as low as 4000 per hit (reported by my friend with a condition build), and get much higher with full power gear and buffs. (I have seen as high as 5600 for alpha golems.)

All I can see from that google sheet is that rams are overpowered

Cymric,

That is interesting. I got my data from recording myself hitting the gate of SE tower solo on golem. I then tested on a ram with NE tower and got the same result. I can test on the gate you are referring to (West Keep north outer?) still, and see if there’s a difference. Thank you for the golem info, I didn’t know that. The numbers for the golem info then is from full exotic PTV gear.

Paavotar,

Yes, the rams with ram mastery are unbelievably OP. You can command and as long as you have 4 others following you, you can just place a superior ram and drop the gate in 1 min 35 seconds or so. The catapults get quite good too with r4 mastery(17.3k dmg to basic wall with superiors). The trebs are actually better than what they get credit for but they’re just very boring which is the reason why I (and probably most people) don’t use them.

Try ramming a gate that has a few superior AC on it.

Well, I know one superior ram can ram through one superior AC. With two AC you can maybe get away with two superior rams if you are fast and have tanks but other than that yea can’t ram.
