I came across this thread today:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Golem-in-a-Box-Intended-for-WvW-use/first#post1286652

and it reminded me to report this bug/exploit.

Many other PvE weapons (ash legion spy kit, experimental weapons, etc.) have been removed from WvW and this golem in a box should be as well. It’s absurd that someone can stand 1600 distance away and spam these things that follow players and deal up to 9k in damage in a radius around the explosion PER golem.

They can be launched while in stealth, and until you do damage you won’t be revealed, but you can get off like 10 before this happens. Each dealing ridiculous damage.

I’ve seen people spam these and completely demolish siege equipment. These things can kill a tower guards in a few hits. People stand just outside of a big zerg versus zerg fight and spam these in the direction of the battle. It demolishes the enemy group while the user sits in the distance cloaked by the “culling issue.”

They can be used WHILE in a golem, upping their damage to 12k and higher. Honestly…

This is so out of hand that there’s whole guilds dedicated to using these in fights. There’s a “GiB” guild with at least 20 people at a time spamming these with thieves cloaking them constantly. That’s just absurd.

Arenanet, please remove this ASAP. It’s obvious this wasn’t mean to be used in WvW.
