Since when can’t you bubble against acs? I never really paid attention to it as one AC alone doesn’t kill me (70% zerker) but I was pretty certain they do protect against projectiles.

@JaKal: You can get ACs in inner out with either ACs outside – mortars, trebs or ballistas. That was always the case back in the day when you couldn’t get any siege on the walls out with your weaponskills AoE. You had to think to get into that tower – something people have unlearned.
And yes, they’re mostly the only possibilities to destroy catas and rams outside from inside – otherwise it would be pure Karma Train – so sorry but I don’t get your problem – I’m serious with that.

You said there are not safe spot for ACs, i say there are.
You said ACs are just for support, i say they are much more then support.
Now you get it?

An entire thread in wich ppl complain about they cant easly destroy proxy catas by only using sieges…
Have you tried to drop on proxy catas from wall and destroy them? Its wvw not silverwaste, you can do some pvp sometimes….

If the ACs are so easy to counter and then they are so useless like you intend, what should be the problem to remove such a useless thing from the game?

ACs are only useful when at least 2 or when you have other siege or other players (zerg) supporting your efforts of destroying/killing something. There are basically no safe spots for ACs or any siege left, so you can kill them easily with some AoE. I’d agree to tone them down when it comes to players (although not really, maybe they should scale = 1 AC in an area does “500” dmg, 2 do together 600 and not 1000) if they can withhold more damage or get a shield or anything, right now the situation is pretty bad. But then again; I’ve been around back when they still made sense.

Idk wich servers you play against usually but there are many safe spots for ACs, like in example the roof of supply deposit in eb and particular corners or edges, especially in the desert borders where the walls are larges and are full of high ground spots, you have just to know where to place them without being hit by eles and necros.

The biggest problem with ACs is that they are much more then support, they provide the main dmg against rams and catas, and heavy dmg against players, and there are always more then one AC, unless you play against a server that seriously lack supply for some reason or not interested on build them.

Support means provide a very little dmg just to assist you on going outside and destroy rams/catas, in other words you shouldnt be able to destory rams/catas in time by only using ACs, in this way ACs would be support, but atm they are the main dmg and its not funny to play against, especially against servers that abuse it.

Or ANet could just remove it and make people happy.

+1 Arrow Carts should be removed.

lol. never happen. If ACs were removed there are entire servers that would drop tiers so fast they wouldn’t even hear the thud until they were 3+ tiers lower than they are now..

…normal AC’s arent a threat and sup AC’s.. just nuke them with AoE, not even the sup AC user will survive, just stac a group of eles and necros.

get 2 redundant shields next to wall, and build several proxy catas.

Have you considered that if cata is not in the arrow cart range that means it is in the range of trebs/mortar?
Otherwise what should be the reason to use proxy catas?

Ah, so what you’re looking for is a catapult placement that can’t be hit by anything? Well, I can’t help you there.

Unless, perhaps, you’re satisfied with building shield bubbles to shut down the mortar/treb.

So what you are looking for is a wall that cant be hit by anything?
The gates are already untouchable, and now you want make even wall untouchable?
And not, im not looking for a cata placement that cant be hit because catas can be always disabled and hit by other players.
The problem is that you always want repel the attackers without going outside and fight them/disable/destroy catas. All you want do is sit behind/on wall pressing one button on a sige and never die.
Meanwhile the wvw population drop.

Proxy catas are, many times, the only way to do something against the ridicolous OPiness of arrow carts that make the gates untouchable, and you want to “fix” it?
You guys want more ppl leave wvw or what? You want destroy the wvw definitveliy?
I really dont understand…..
If you want “fix” the proxy cata ask for a big nerf of arrow carts then there will be no reason to go for proxy catas anymore…

Have you considered placing your catapults outside of arrow cart range? In some cases, this won’t even mean you need to charge the throw at all, so it’ll be the same speed.
